    Episode 15: Setting realistic goals

    Episode 15: Setting realistic goals

    Welcome back to the podcast. This week I want to discuss setting realistic goals. So often people find themselves setting goals and later realizing they didn't accomplish those goals. Why does this happen? Are people jusy lazy? I don't think that's the answer. More often than not folks don't quite understand how much work needs to go into success. Maybe they don't know where to start.
    Today I am going to outline the S.M.A.R.T. rule and hopefully it provides clarity on how to find success.

    Episode 14: Mastering the basic skills.

    Episode 14: Mastering the basic skills.

    Welcome back my people!
    Did you hear about the return of one Gabby Douglas? She returned to competition this past weekend. Here is a video of her FLOOR ROUTINE from the American Classic where she qualified to the US Championships. Not too shabby for taking 7 years off!
    Today we are going to talk about mastering basic skills. Why is this important? I'm glad you asked. Today I will answer all those questions and hopefully give you both insight as an athlete and possibly how to help your child why it is so important to master the easy stuff before they can master the more difficult stuff.
    Here is the link to the HOLLOW BODY TRAINING VIDEO I mentioned in the podcast. Remember the hollow body is the building block for so many gymnastics skills you will also find in CrossFit.

    Episode 10: Managing parent expectations.

    Episode 10: Managing parent expectations.

    Welcome back to another episode. 
    Today JR discusses reasons why parents initially enroll their children in gymnastics and how those original expectations can quickly shift to something much greater. 
    At the beginning of your child's gymnastics journey the usual reasons for enrolling your child in class was to create better socialization skills, manage your child's abundance of energy, or hone a natural skill you saw in your child. At what point were those reasons no longer satisfactory? Many times parents get "team eyes" and want their child to move from a recreational program to a competitive program. 
    Today let us discuss how and why this occurs.
