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.

Final Product
Thursday, October 4, 2012
Here is the final product of the commercial where I helped Diana learn how to jump on the trampoline. She looks quite beautiful and very graceful.
I hope I'll get to work with the team again.
Just like "Top Model"
Thursday, September 13, 2012
Recently, I was contacted to help teach a model how to jump on a trampoline for a TV commercial. As you would expect, I jumped at the opportunity.
The model, Diana, was an experienced in pilates but she had never been on a trampoline before. We started out with some routine familiarization exercises like walking, moon-walking, doing the "type-writer"and long jumps. Then we moved on to starting and stopping with safe-landing techniques. As she found herself more confident, I introduced star jumps (her favorite), tuck jumps and modified stretch jumps with different arm positions. Soon, it was off to hair and make-up for her and set-up for the rest of the crew.
Jumping on the trampoline may come easy for many of us but when you get a handful of people around, super bright lights and, oh yeah, cameras rolling, it brings in another level of professionalism. I gave a little show to the crew bouncing around, yes it was fun but I give the upmost respect for this model who did an amazing job! She had safety in mind, kept her cool and showed how beautiful one can look from one bounce to the next.
