Do you and your gymnasts lose motivation to keep at it? Or do you feel like you have to keep motivating your gymnasts all the time? You might need to add in some regular celebrations.

When your gymnasts think the only time they should celebrate their success is at a meet or when they hit their goal, most of their training will become unenjoyable. And unmotivating.

Teaching your gymnasts to celebrate along the way will help them create the motivation, excitement and determination they need to get to their goal.

If you want your gymnasts to motivate themselves and each other and create a positive mindset environment, this episode is for you!

Leah is heading into the busiest time of the year and the end of her season - and of her gymnastics career.

So we are wrapping up Lessons with Leah this week!

In this special podcast series, Florida Gator Leah Clapper takes you behind the scenes in her final season as she and the Gators go after a national title.

To reach her goals and to really enjoy her final season, she is doing mindset coaching with Gymnastics Mindset Academy. And she's letting you sit in on her sessions.

In this episode, Stacie and Leah talk about what Leah has learned through the series and her advice to other gymnasts about mindset training. 

Leah’s top three takeaways from mindset coaching.

Leah’s thoughts on the power of mindset coaching.

If you are wondering what you might get out of mindset training even if you already have a fairly positive mindset, this episode is for you!

Have you struggled with trying to help your gymnasts make the corrections they need to gain those extra tenths to reach their goals? Trying different things to actually make a correction or a change in a skill is often hard for a gymnast. They want perfection right away and think that anything short of that is a problem.

This prohibits them from trying different things, learning and ultimately getting the skill correctly. They get caught up in the emotional drama of not getting it right instead of exploring what they need to do to make a change.

We teach gymnasts to use the scientific method instead - to be curious about the problem and experiment until they find what works. Join us as we share how. This tool works both in digging into details during competition season, and in learning new upgrades and skills throughout the year.

In this episode:

If you want to take the drama out of practice and help your gymnasts learn to make the corrections they need to score at their potential, this episode is for you!

Leah is heading into post season and is so excited for the final meets of the season - and of her gymnastics career.

Yet the suspense of how it is going to turn out and if it will turn out well makes her want to skip to the end.

In this special podcast series, Florida Gator Leah Clapper takes you behind the scenes in her final season as she and the Gators go after a national title.

To reach her goals and to really enjoy her final season, she is doing mindset coaching with Gymnastics Mindset Academy. And she's letting you sit in on her sessions.

In this episode, Stacie and Leah talk about dealing with the uncertainty of how things are going to go and how to control what you can and allow the uncomfortableness of what you can’t.

If you are counting down the days to the end of your season, but want to make every moment count, this episode is for you!

It’s time to get fired up and do the work for the last half of meet season. Now that your gymnasts are in the groove for competing, they can finally focus on making the improvements they need to reach their season goals. To fix their form, hit those handstands, and split requirements, and stick those landings. 

In this episode, we talk about how we help the gymnast we work with go through the process of not only setting their goals but figuring out every single thing they need to do to actually reach them. 

Most people set goals and then just keep doing the same thing they were already doing. Goals without a plan of what needs to be done to get there rarely are achieved. Help your gymnasts break down their goals for the season with the drills, skills, corrections or mindset shifts they will need to make to achieve those goals. 

You know, the things you’ve been telling them about all season. Lol. But the things they actually have the ability to concentrate on now that they are past their early meet season jitters.

Are your gymnasts hitting the mid season boredom? We see so many gymnasts at this point in the season start to lose their motivation and their focus. We like to help give their brain something to be motivated about by setting or refocusing on their season goal.

Setting goals for the season can help your gymnasts stay motivated and focused on achieving success. By setting season goals, you can ensure that your gymnasts are prepared to perform their best during meets and competitions.

Setting season goals will also help gymnasts stay on track and give them motivation to work on those details. Form, artistry, sticking - those things that they just haven’t been able to focus on like you would like them to while they were dealing with getting their skills and getting back into competition mode

Let’s spend the month of March helping them work towards finishing their season up strong. focus in on what they want to accomplish and everything they need to do to get there. And give them the motivation to actually dig into the details and make those small corrections that will get them to that goal.

In this episode:

If your gymnasts are lagging in motivation, or you want to help them really reach their goals this season, this episode is for you!

Nobody is talking about how much comparison and jealousy hurts your team and steals your gymnasts joy in the sport.

Competition doesn’t have to be a battle of comparison. Let’s help your gymnasts find joy in the challenge and celebrate their individual successes!

We want to help you help your gymnasts to feel empowered and inspired, so they can focus on what truly matters: their own personal growth. Competition against yourself is a much better way to measure success than comparing yourself to others. That’s why we believe in gymnasts who strive for personal bests, and celebrate their own accomplishments.

Our mission is to help every gymnast find their own strength and joy in the sport. To stay focused on their goals and be proud of their achievements, no matter what place they take in a competition.⁣⁣

Listen in to join us in creating a gymnastics culture that encourages gymnasts to reach for the stars and strive for greatness without comparing themselves to others.

And don't forget to review or share this podcast with other coaches so we can all help our gymnasts focus on the joy of the journey, not the outcome.⁣⁣

We have courses and coaching programs for individual gymnasts and gymnastics teams that are  based on proven behavioral science. And results that speak for themselves. Invest in the one thing that will have the greatest impact on your gym or your gymnasts success. Their mind.
