In 2002 Sekerova was sponsored to the United States by the high-profile gymnastics coach and author "CoachWayne" with the intention of training as a power tumbler and becoming a coach. We rekindled her love for gymnastics and resumed her gymnastics career and began training for international elite competition under Coach Wayne (William Wayne Evans). Sekerova rejoined the Slovakian team for the 2003 Worlds in Anaheim in August, where she finished 78th all-around. There, she was her team's top scorer on two events, and shared the top score for her team on a third event.

In 2007 Sekerova came back onto a Slovak national team, after taking a break from gymnastics in 2006, to compete at European Championships in Amsterdam. Unfortunately, in a warm-up before all around competition she tore her achilles tendon and was not able to compete. After this achilles rupture injury and extensive rehabilitation Sekerova intended to return to competitive gymnastics but in the end it turned out to be a career-ending injury.

Coach Wayne and Zuzana Sekerova, in April 2007, started a mobile gymnastics program in Savannah, Georgia under the name CoachWayne2GO (a.k.a. Coach Wayne Gymnastics).
