Importance of Completing A Gymnasts Awareness

As promised, a bit more from the Sharing Session. This one is thanks to a couple of co-workers who attended a Trampoline Course with Jack Kelly an International Performance Coach. They passed down a document titled, Twenty Six Essential Principles for the Development of World Class Performance in Trampoline Gymnastics written by Jack Kelly. 

Sharing Session at Prime Gymnastics

Last week, we had a sharing session in our gym. Many of our coaches' had been lucky enough to participate in a various number of courses throughout SE Asia leaving the rest of us to hold down the fort and cover their classes. For the gymnasts, I think they enjoy a new coach once in a while as it means a new change to their routinely work-outs. Our coaching team works quite well together; Sure, I'll cover your class if you share what you've learned.



Two had done a F.I.G. Level 1 course in Singapore, another two had taken part of a Trampoline course in Singapore and another two had taken part of an Asian Gymnastics Union MAG Coaching Course held in Singapore that was presented by coaching expert Mr Takashi Kobayashi who happens to be acoach of World Champion and Olympic Champion Uhei Uchimura and was Coaching Director of the Japanese Olympic National Training Centre. In fact, one of the coaches also headed out to Sri Lanka and attended another course Mr Takashi Kobayashi lead! How fortunate is that?!

All together we had 5 staff in the past 3 months attend some sort of training.
I've learned some great insights from my co-workers sessions and I'll be sharing some of the great information that was passed down to me throughout the month of February. I plan to include theory, drills and other useful tips for all of my readers. Some of the topics include:

• psychology

• beginning trampoline

• spotting beginner trampoline

• developing speed 

• POWER!

Here's to a fantastic February!

Sharing; Not just caring but a responsibility

Tomorrow I'm holding a sharing session for all coaches, gymnastics professionals and just about anyone else who is interested at Prime Gymnastics. As I've come across quite a bit of knowledge through the years, I feel it doesn't do me any good if I'm not using it, sharing it and teaching these things to other people. This way I don't have to clone myself!

Here's a sneak preview of the presentation including a poor little child who was pushed to go on the bars by a crazy gym mom! (ME!)
