HEATED CONVERSATIONS

Former Arkansas Razorback Gymnast, formerly known as Braie Speed, now last name Swann, joins the podcast to discuss her transition to coaching post-college career and club career. She discusses the lesson, the trauma she experienced as a young athlete, and the transitions that occurred because of it.

Braie credits her parents and college coaches for allowing her to be bold and learn how to navigate through hardship with coaches unsuitable for her health overall. It was a tremendous, informative conversation that I believe all gymnasts, coaches, and parents must be aware of.

*ATTENTION GYMNASTICS COACHESThis week's episode of Heated Conversations addresses the area of Vault! Specifically, training proper running techniques to create more speed and power to be able to translate to a more dynamic vault and safe vault. Will Collins of Fast University track and field coach out of Houston, Texas, talks about how much track and gymnastics correlate. The proper training for sprinting, I believe, helps athletes of all levels be able to have an opportunity to reach their potential on the vault and to be able to train the whole comment on the vault. As gymnastic coaches, we train the entry, table, off-the-table, and landings but may miss what is producing the ability to have all those techniques work. 80-85% of the vault is done on the runway. The other part is that the run needs to be effective and not be trained for aesthetics, which is required in many areas of the sport. I will later do more posts and breakdowns on teaching and implementing these running techniques in the vault apparatus.Check out the whole episode on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcast, and Amazon Music. Like, comment, share, and Subscribe.

Main Point/Core Message:

You are the creator of your life. You don't get what you want, you get WHO you are. As all my mentors have taught me it's a shift in identity to achieve new levels of success in sports, business, life, relationships, money etc. So if you are not achieving the things you desire then it begins with creating the person or team first. Then it must become you!

This is why we created the Underground Performance System so that teams and athletes can increase performance and team culture. It's a 3 step process that has helped teams win a national championship, multiple conference championships, individual national champions and most teams double their performance.
