Hey all, I just typed this out, hit submit, and found out I was logged out!! Second time is a charm I hope (lol!)
I'll start out with why I'm here. I'm a coach of 9 years that recently moved from California to Texas. New gym, new time zone! Circumstance has made it hard to stay in touch with people via phone so yay for the internet! I think that even though there's only one 'right' way to perform a skill, there's 1000 ways to teach it. A forum is a great way to learn how everyone is doing it since athletes are so individual. I also have a great interest in finding out what parents and athlete's are thinking, and the anonymity of the internet is a great way to get it honestly delivered!
A personal blurb: I've coached everything from parent-tot classes to bars and vault at compulsory levels and everything in between! I also have a background in ballet thats been utilized at a optional level. Not in an athletic sense, but I got to work with them on music selection, facial expression, a study of what they're trying to convey with the dance chosen for their routines, and choreographed warm-ups.
Thats about it, glad to be here, excited to meet people and learn new things!
(p.s. I tried to spellcheck, and my browser gave me an error message...I hope I didn't massacre the English language!)
