    Resources for coaching in spanish

    Ok, so I have a couple of girls who speak spanish fluently, and I'd like to be able to coach them in spanish. First, this would let me practice my spanish, and second, it would let them hear the corrections in a different way than they're used to, which any coach can tell you often makes a HUGE...

    Parents different coaching styles and kids

    I've got 2 DD's that were recently moved up to the pre-team. My girls have a long school day and the gym we were at started practice before the girls got out of school. I thought about sticking it out with the girls missing 1 of the 3 hrs of practice a week, but the schedule won't change until...

    Saw punishment used in coaching for the first time yesterday .....

    It was just 10 push-ups -nothing too painful. But it really worked - I was surprised! DD's L4 group was doing bars with a coach that they don't often have, and they were all pretty sloppy. They have a meet on Saturday, so it's crunch time this week. He decided to motivate them with the threat of...

    Hi Chalk Bucket coaches, i would just like to let you all know that i am going to be posting all my coaching logs on The Gym Press Facebook page. The idea is that i can get other coaches opinions on the coaching methods, and help create a discussion over gymnastics training. Along with that, i...

    Coaching ethics and policy?

    I worked at our home meet yesterday and had a chance to see and talk to old friends and coaches of my older DD when she was in gymnastics. For the third time, I heard a coaching duo she trainned under are heavy drinkers and even came to level 10 State meet drunk last year. Why isn't anything...

    Hello everyone, I've been teaching at a local recreational gym since I was fifteen, I'm now nineteen and realized that I really enjoy teaching and am set on making it a career. I have one slight problem, while I have a passion for coaching and have been to many regional congresses and...

    outside coaching

    Do your gyms allow gymnasts to have private lessons with coaches from other gyms? Do your gyms have rules/policies for private lessons?

I'll be helping out with the CanGym, rec. kids and babies and it won't be by myself, but I'm so excited! Just had to say somethinf...

    Should safe coaching cost more??

    Things at our gym have come to a head and I feel like I'm the only one concerned about safety. About 18 mos ago the HC split the girls into groups---1/2 coached by him and another coach and the other groups coached by 2 other coaches----all the time/no mixing things up. It has turned into a...

    Ways to be involved in gymnastics besides coaching?

    Hey everyone! Yesterday I had a meeting with my advisor at school. We talked about future plans and stuff. I am working on a major for health education. I really want to coach and teach someday. However my options are kind of limited. I really want to be a gymnastics coach, but the communication...

    So I'm starting a coaching blog

    Apex Technical Corner This is primarily aimed at the kids and parents at my own gym, but I figure there may be some other parents interested in reading it. Basically, my goal with this blog is to make a certain level of technical knowledge available to parents -- the more parents (and...

    Just plain bad coaching? Or am I overreacting?

    Okay, so there's this coach at my gym who I think is very nice and good person overall, but he's just a terrible coach. Yet he coaches level 6+. He used to work with another coach who was pretty good, but she left for college and BAM! The higher levels start falling apart. :( Here are the main...

    Dressing for Coaching

    I have just started coaching, and I was wondering what coaches wear on their feet? I asked the club's head coach and she said I could wear any thing. What would you recommend, bare feet, socks, shoes, sandles, or something else?

    Coaching vs. Parenting

    I'm intrigued by the amount of people who see coaching and parenting as fundamentally different. I know I have room to grow in both my coaching and parenting, but is there something here I'm not getting?? I feel my role as a parent is to accept my children for who they are, where they are. To...

    Coaching your child? Thoughts?

    My exhusband is a gymnastics coach and our DD is 5 and a level 4. He lives in another state and has never coached her before. She has played plenty of times at his gym. We are here visiting for a month and I was excited to see how things would go with him actually attempting to coach her. It...

    coaching boys vs. coaching girls

    This is for those of you who coach boys and girls (either at the same time or separately). If so, how does your coaching style differ when working with one gender vs. working with the other? Are there certain elements of practice/workouts that are more important for the guys than the gals (or...

    Coaches Should I leave this coaching position after only one practice?

    I've recently left the gym job I have been at for almost 9 years. Love the kids and like the program, but was offered one of those "amazing" opportunities. I could help start a brand new gym. Wouldn't have to put up any money and could just coach and help start a program with a couple of...

    coaching brag :)

    I've been back in my gym for three weeks now and I've been subbing for lots of different classes, but I have been able to coach our progressive class (levels 1,2, and 3) almost consistently for the last couple weeks. And today it paid off :D One girl FINALLY made two pullovers and got her back...
