Sound on… Listen as I talk through some of the basic elements of tumbling during a top level elite skill. The idea is to show that high level gymnastics comes directly from the things we teach our athletes on the way up the developmental ladder. Shilese is obviously very strong, so some of her angles to the floor will be different than your beginner level 3. The physics and the concepts are the same however.

When plotting a course for your future journey. It helps to have a destination in mind to work back from. If you don’t know where you’re going, any road will get you there. If you want a specific destination, you need a more specific route.

Hope this helps you and your athletes create their Best Darn Gymnastics!
