When you have a good coach and he saves your life... Thanks Chad Buczek!!!! Posted by Justine Ramos on Friday, February 7, 2020

Update: MassLive spoke with the coach and gymnast after the video went viral. Read more here.

Thanks to cat-like reflexes, a 9-year-old gymnast falling off a stack of tumbling mats was caught by her coach.

The 11-second video shows the girl performing a difficult set of flips at a competition in Tennessee and jumping off a vault to land at an angle on the highly stacked mats and being grabbed before she hits the ground by her coach.

“Honestly, it’s just instincts,” said Easton’s Chad Buczek, a coach and owner of Metro South Gymnastics Academy Canton in an interview with The Enterprise. “I knew it was off. And I knew I had to get in there.”

“It was terrifying,” said mother, Justine Ramos on Inside Edition. “I instantly broke out into a sweat.”

She also added that it’s not the first time that Buczek has appeared at the right time to help her daughter avoid injury.

Buczek got the national spotlight on Inside Edition and Good Morning America but says that he isn’t one for being in the spotlight.

He told The Enterprise that a friend and coach in Arizona said one of his students saw the video and asked, “would you catch me like this?”
