What is “Physical Literacy”?
Physical literacy is the motivation, confidence, physical competence, knowledge and understanding to value and take responsibility for engagement in physical activities for life.
- the physical skills to do the activity,
- the confidence and motivation to be active,
- the knowledge and understanding of how, why, and when to move, and
- the social skills to be active with others.
- Any person, at any time of life, in any environment or situation, can improve their physical literacy.

Gymnastics Pull-over Progression
The last resort for me as a coach is to … SPOT.
The child should do the work, not the coach.
Once they are strong enough to hold bent arm hang, putting something in front MIGHT be enough to do the Pull-over on their own.

Girls Sport Needs More Upper Body Conditioning
My elderly mother cannot open a pickle jar.
Why is that?
Consider the most popular women’s sports. MOST primarily develop the lower body musculature more than core and upper body.
One of the BEST things about Gymnastics are the upper body challenges.
Low swings and hangs on a rope are ideal.
