Have you seen Gymnastics Lessons Learned and Sports Lessons Learned?
Karen with Gymnastics Lessons Learned Book.
Some short stories teach the child that hard work pays off while other stories teach the child the consequences of not working hard. Sports are more than just skill technique. Sports teach life lessons and these books tell the story of some young athletes. Similar stories in both books, no need to buy both for the same child.
Both teach young girls valuable life lessons through sports. They are nice gifts for young girls ages 5-12.
Karen Goeller at a networking event in NJ was asked to sign a few of her books. Check out her fitness, sports, children’s, and health books, www.amazon.com/author/karengoeller
It’s the time of year when gymnastics coaches start to focus on Handstands…
The Handstand is the most important skill in our sport and remaining tight is essential!
Gymnasts of all levels perform the handstand several times throughout their workout. While performing many skills in gymnastics, the gymnast must actually pass through the handstand or vertical phase safely and efficiently. Without a good handstand, a gymnast may have trouble building skills and therefore progressing through the sports many levels safely and efficiently.

You can avoid frustration and high risk of injury by planning ahead and allowing your gymnast enough time to prepare.
Work on the new skills, strength, speed, and endurance now so next competition season is really fun! That’s why we all love the sport isn’t it? Gymnastics should be fun, not extremely stressful.
A skill should be performed 1000 times before it is competed. (That was my rule when I coached teams and in my gym.) That’s about 4-6 months of 10-12 repetitions per day 5 days a week. Most gymnasts do not perform 200 repetitions of a new skill each week. And then they are not really prepared for their meet. That leads to worry, lack of focus, then high risk of injury.
Call me today to set up a workout for your gymnast! Give them the tools they need to compete safely.

And FYI… I do not recruit gymnasts or tell them to leave their team coaches unless there is an abusive situation. I help them understand skills by offering drills, help with rehab from an injury, or offer sport-specific conditioning when there is a weakness.
One more note… Coaches who bring their gymnast to me so we can work together to help your gymnast get a generous discount. Coach is on the floor so we can discuss and coach together and one parent in the parent’s area for the workout.
