Celebration and Recognition!!! As a gymnast and a coach with so many years of experience it is rare that I get amazed and in awe of a young athlete. Today a 6yr old superstar not only amazed me but I was in awe of her pursuit of excellence. She pushed through pain and beyond until she had nothing left. She persevered 22 minutes and 57sec holding on to the bar. How does a 6 year old posses the WILL to push through for that long when it is so easy to just stop and let go? This is what champions are made of and this is what trumps talent any day. When you outwork your competition you have no option but to win. So proud of this young athlete and can’t wait to see her great future in this sport. ❤️🙌🏆🤩

Matching Monday!

A few awesome moments from GW team doing amazing this weekend. So proud of everyone. Will post more when all photos are in.

Our in-house meet was a ringing success last night! Thank you to all the athletes & parents for making it an amazing event!

Halloween party & belated birthday for Coach Hamid!👻👹👽

Likewise, in sport, we all respond differently to different styles of coaching. Regardless of the coaching or our personal gifts though, the ONE thing that is the same for ALL of us no matter what, and that is the scientifically proven fact that when we learn while playing, we learn faster. 🤔
This pic was taken at a recent DFG clinic at OGA in Nebraska, and the whole reason I share it is because of the smile on my face. I'm having fun! But why is having fun important?
Science has proven that if we are simply repeating a skill over and over and over, it will take 400 repetitions to create new connections in the brain. The amazing thing about having fun, is that when we learn through play, it only takes 10 to 20 repetitions to form the same connections!!! 🤯
That means that as a coach or an athlete, when we find a way to have fun doing or teaching a thing, we just added an amazing speed to our learning or the learning of our athletes or students, we literally are able to teach or learn hundreds of times faster!!!
Here's to having fun fam, as we learn...and as we teach! ✨
