Gymnastics in a New Era with Coach Jessie McDonough


Listen Later

Today's episode is all about embracing change in the world of gymnastics, and I'm thrilled to introduce our guest, Jessica McDonough, better known as Coach Jessie from Olympus Gymnastic Club.

A former Utah NCAA gymnast, Coach Jessie brings a fresh perspective to the sport. At Olympus, she's been instrumental in reshaping the gym culture, moving away from traditional coaching methods to create a more positive and supportive environment.

What makes Coach Jessie stand out is her dedication to continual growth. She's a role model for coaches at every stage of their careers, emphasizing the importance of always striving to improve.

Coach Jessie shares practical advice on how to maintain a sense of joy and positivity while still striving for excellence in gymnastics. It's a delicate balance, but one she navigates with grace.

In this episode, Coach Rebecca and Coach Jessie talk about:

How Mental Toughness and Supportive Families Fuel Gymnastics Sucess.

Effective Coaching Techniques in Gymnastics.

Building Resilient Gymnasts with Parenting, Communication, and Failure.

Jessie’s Tips for Effective Coaching Communication.

Strategies for Gymnasts to Overcome Fear and Excel in Training.

Strong Minds, Strong Performances with Mental Preparation.

How to Elevate your Gymnastics Coaching.

5 Things you Should be doing for your Staff Development.

“Gymnastics is not who you are. It's what you do.” - Jessie McDonough
