Top 10 Things to Look for in a Gymnastics Team Program for Your GymnastPosted by: Mr.Admin in Gymnastic Sites and The Best ArticlesGymnasts, athletes, humans in general react best to positive reinforcement, enthusiasm and confidence building. If you find that, you will almost also certainly find all of the following. Pits For any successful high-level team program, pits are a virtual necessity. Most good coaches would not even consider coaching in a facility that didn t have pits. Parents should feel the same about putting their gymnasts into a facility without pits. Pits allow an extra degree of teaching, coaching and learning flexibility. Pits should be available for every event and apparatus type. Trampolines Trampolines are one of the most efficient training tools for gymnastics. They allow significant time saving advantages when doing skills like somersaults. Ideally, trampolines should be in the ground for extra safety. Training in a facility without or that doesn t use trampolines will result in a slower learning curve for tumbling skills. Tumble Tramp and/or Power Tumbling Strip A tumble tramp is a long t … Tags: Apparatus Type, Coaching, Confidence Building, Efficient Training, Extra, Flexibility, Gymnast, Gymnastics Team, Gymnasts, Learning Curve, Parents, Pits, Positive Reinforcement, Safety Training, Significant Time, Somersaults, Training Tools, Tramp, Trampolines, Virtual Necessity

Why No Investigation by IOC and IGF Over Chinese Gymnasts’ Age Controversy?Posted by: Mr.Admin in Gymnastic Sites and The Best ArticlesIf an athlete is good enough to qualify for the Olympics — then they should be allowed to compete — regardless of age. And it seems silly to me that there is minimum age requirements for some events in the Olympics and not others. One of the female US swimmers, for instance, is only 15 years-old and and there is a 14 year-old British diver — both of whom are both legally competing. In addition, it also seems silly to allow a gymnast to practice over 50 hours a week and compete in all other competitions, but not in the Olympics. It also seems silly that the International Gymnastic Federation (IGF) should dictate the rules for the Olympics instead of the International Olympic Committee (IOC). Plus, a significant reason the US women gymnastics team did not take home the team gold is because they made numerous mistakes. However, that all being said, a rule is a rule and the lack of follow-up by the IOC and the IGF over the Chinese gymnasts’ ages is, well, silly. The rule, implemented b … Tags: Athlete, Chinese Gymnasts, Competitions, Controversy, Gymnast, Gymnastic Federation, Gymnastics Team, International Olympic Committee, Ioc, Olympics, Qualify For The Olympics, Swimmers, Team Gold

Gymnastics: Approaching Your Gymnast’s CoachPosted by: Mr.Admin in Gymnastic Sites and The Best ArticlesBeware the Phone Game Gymnastics team practices are usually too long for all but most compulsive parents to sit through and observe. Thus parents only hear second hand what is going on in the gym either from gymnasts or parents. We all know how accurate secondhand information is. Everyone on the Same Page The coach should hopefully have discussed their coaching philosophy, goals, methods and training system. This information should help you understand why your gymnast’s coaches are doing what they are doing. Sometimes, however, issues or questions may arise during the year that you might feel have to be addressed by the coach. Don t Try to Argue About the Sport It is rarely useful, possible or wise for parents to challenge coaches on anything to do with the sport itself. Parents are not experts in the sport. Hopefully, the coaches are. Realistically, parents may not know if coaches really know what they are talking about because coaches will certainly know more than the parents will … Tags: Coach Don, Goals Methods, Gymnast, Gymnastics Team, Gymnasts, Parents, Philosophy Goals, Phone Game, Team Practices

Gymnastics Sport Psychology, Goals, and MotivationPosted by: Mr.Admin in Gymnastic Sites and The Best ArticlesThe USA National Gymnastics Team Uses a Sports Psychologist The U.S. National Gymnastics Team has been seriously working with sports psychologists since at least 1992, after the Barcelona Olympics, dealing with problems such as overly high expectations, pressure and stress management. In the areas the mental training program has utilized, there seems to be credible evidence that this program has been a success and contributed to the success of the United States in International competition. Self-Esteem vs. Scream One of the most important aspects for a mental training program is the creation of a positive gymnastics environment. There is overwhelming scientific evidence that a positive mental environment is a prime basis for training and competitive success, especially for girls in gymnastics and other sports. In spite of this, it seems the typical gymnastics coach is more apt to follow the Bela Karolyi School of Yelling, Screaming and Negative Feedback. Perhaps his screaming succes … Tags: Barcelona Olympics, Bela Karolyi, Credible Evidence, Girls Gymnastics, Gymnastics Coach, Gymnastics Team, High Expectations, International Competition, Mental Environment, National Gymnastics, Negative Feedback, Other Sports, Scream, Spite, Sport Psychology, Sports Psychologist, Sports Psychologists, Stress Management, Usa Gymnastics, Usa National

What Gymnastics Can Mean to a Gymnast’s Grades and AcademicsPosted by: Mr.Admin in Gymnastic Sites and The Best ArticlesIt is estimated that there are over 3 million children participating in gymnastics in this country. USA Gymnastics, the Olympic governing body for the sport of gymnastics, has seen a 37.5 percent increase in the number of private clubs over 5 years. There are as many as 4000 gymnastics programs in the country. Better Students and Better People There are many reasons for the increase in the numbers participating in the sport. One of the reasons is the role that gymnastics plays in the noticeable improvement of gymnasts as athletes, students and as a person in general. Gym owners and coaches have found this personal growth of their gymnasts is one of their primary motivations in their continuing participation in the sport. The More the Merrier Even though it may seem counter-intuitive, most gymnasts maintain their current good grades or improve their grades when they join a gymnastics team. In spite of the numerous hours (10 40 hours in the gym) they spend in the gym training, their g … Tags: Academics, Country Usa, Current, Governing Body, Gym Owners, Gymnast, Gymnastics Programs, Gymnastics Team, Gymnasts, Motivations, Noticeable Improvement, Participation, People, Personal Growth, Private Clubs, Role Plays, Spite, Sport One, Usa Gymnastics, Usa Olympic

The Solution to the Collegiate Gymnastics Crisis - PrivatizePosted by: Mr.Admin in Gymnastic Sites and The Best ArticlesNo other students in the University are allowed to use the facility for liability reasons. Collegiate Gymnastics Facilities Serve Very Few Students In general, the expense of the equipment and facility for so few students in what is generally a non-revenue sport leads to the decision that so many Universities have made. Shut down the gymnastics program and increase other women s programs and just eliminate the men s program to even up the Title 9 ratios. Privatization Club Programs Provide Coaching, Facilities and Equipment The innovative solution to benefit all parties is to privatize gymnastics training. By this we mean, that private gymnastics clubs should negotiate a deal with their local college/University to provide the coaching, equipment and training facility for the college/University gymnastics team. University Provides Scholarships and Competition Team Expenses The University would provide payment for the coaching, scholarships, travel and all other competition and NCAA c … Tags: Coaching, College Gymnastics, Collegiate Gymnastics, Competition Team, Gymnastics Clubs, Gymnastics Program, Gymnastics Team, Gymnastics Training, Innovative Solution, Liability Reasons, Local College, Ncaa, Privatization, Ratios, Scholarships, Sport, Team Expenses, Title 9, Travel, UniversitiesInteresting Websites : Interesting Websites : |
