Gymnasts are invariably among the most strong and fit athletes in their classes at school and among all of their peers. There is little doubt that fitness equals attractive. Gymnastics Confidence Equals Confidence in Everyday Life Gymnastics, as an individual sport, most often develops a higher level of confidence than is possible in team sports. Every single skill a gymnast learns is a personal accomplishment of which they can be proud. That pride translates to and contributes to their level of confidence. Most often confidence built in the gym translates to every area of their lives, even to seemingly unrelated areas like public speaking and test-taking. Set Goals, Carefully Work out a Plan There is no substitute for careful planning. We have found the planing process often clarifies both goals and the correct direction in the training process. Written goals and a mutually agreed upon plan allows gymnasts and coaches to define their goals and maximize the effect of their training ti …

A single fall can eliminate gymnasts from winning a medal in the beam event and often also in the All-around. Beam medallists are often the All-Around winners. Complete Beam Basics in One Training Program Because beam is different from the other gymnastics events, gymnasts and coaches find the need to work on a special and complete basic training program for balance beam that is designed to build strength for beam, develop balance, completely eliminate falls, and improve balance beam skill consistency. Beam Basics are Critical to Future Beam Success Successful mastery of such a program can allow gymnasts to acquire more complex beam skills with less effort, more confidence and in a shorter period of time.

Skipping the basic beam building blocks puts a gymnast in a position where at some point their bad habits can stop them from having success in staying on beam.

The reality is that gymnastics is a great “gateway” sport, that is, it prepares any child for a higher level of participation in many activities because of the confidence developed and body awareness attained - both attributes of gymnastics training. There are also different levels of competition that don’t have to lead to Olympic competition or years of grueling training. By that, I mean that routines developed by USA Gymnastics can be used by AAU (Amateur Athletic Union), YMCA, school, and recreational programs without the emphasis on competition for competition’s sake but for learning how to perform, learning to enjoy the competitive experience, and learning how to express oneself through movement.

Customer Review: A playroom must
Our kids 2 and 3 use this everyday in their playroom. We put a mattress underneath so they can plop off and have no fear of being hurt. My son is learning great control and confidence now when he might need to get out of some of the unique spots he finds to climb around this world. My daughter 2 is the talk of the playground as she is so strong from hanging everyday from her trapeze. She can almost completely cross the monkey bars like her brother unassisted because of her strength and confidence on the bars.
