Founder of Mismo Gymnastics Kelley Durbin (Facebook) was contacted this week by the producers of reality TV show Dance Moms:
They wanted to interview me to see if we might be selected for their reality show…oh the poor women I just gave a lecture to.
I told her that when ever they get around to doing a show about a gym or studio that DOES NOT support drama and prefers to work WITH parents for the betterment of our children’s future, THEN they can call me! Otherwise, I could not support anything that encourages self-promotion, child and parent exploitation, and silliness!
Kelley is recently engaged, by the way. 🙂

‘Pac-Man’ backward handspring drills
Some elite coaches don’t like drills like this. Personally I always “introduce” the skill this way. It’s FUN and SAFE.
Click PLAY or watch it on YouTube.
Of course there are many other similar equipment set-ups. Best is to have one the kids can use by themselves without needing a coach.
… Wondering what a Pac-Man is?

how to make Gymnastics boring
By far the most common reason for dropping out of gym. 😦
… Gymnastics is a naturally fun sport of nearly infinite variety. If your cannot keep your classes interesting, you are definitely not doing your job.
… job one for a coach is to make sure gymnasts learn something every class. To do that, before every class, you need to know what skills each gymnast can already do and what skills you have a good shot at teaching them that day. To do that, you have to be prepared for each class and have kept track of your gymnasts and what they can do.read more on Gymnastics Zone – How to Make Gymnastics Boring

‘elephant vaulting’ over air mats
via Tumbl Trak:
Parkour is super popular with boys right now. This is a great way to get them ‘vaulting’ (SPRING and LANDINGS) in a fun way.
Air inflated mats are the mats of the future.
