    Coaches Motivational tools

    Adapted from my classroom: A marble jar. My elementary school kids warned a marble for good behavior, utilizing life skills/morals, excelling in whatever area I saw fit or that was Pre-defined. When the jar filled we had "fun Friday" afternoon. In gym it works great. You can reward a...

    WAG I just don't know what to do.

    Start with a conversation with your coach. Get everyone on the same page- YOURS! Hopefully they will be willing to work with you and allow a day off. Having this day will allow you to feel a little "free" time. If after the conversation, they are unwilling to allow you some time to sort...

    WAG I just don't know what to do.

    I have had athletes in your position... The feeling of being hopeless & confused causes a lot of anxiety. You become more critical of your skills & the definition of a "successful" workout. The more unsuccessful you feel, the more you spiral out of control with your emotions. I have had luck...

    WAG Deduction for routine not up to level

    It is a compositional deduction taken at level 8,9,10. Judges are to compare the level of difficulty seen/competed by athletes at the highest competition of that level. Ex: level 10 nationals An athlete dismounts with a C acro 1.5 twist whereas many/most good level 10s may end with a great...

    WAG Changing gyms at the optional level(s)

    1. Discuss your issues with the HC/staff to see if the issues can be remedied 2. If above fails, it is expected that you do the best thing for your daughter. Sometimes people outgrow a gym. But to think the grass looks greener on the other side is not always the reality. Every gym has their...

    WAG Bhs hand position

    Practice down an incline with a taped line down the mat. Practice on the trampoline on a chalk line. Practice uphill on to a panel/accordion mat. It could just be your brain not allowing you to place your hands correctly because it knows there is a mat adjacent to the beam- so why put both...
