This week on the podcast is a very special episode with crowd favorite Eva our gym director but also three of our former gymnasts who trained whilst we went through a massive cultural change at our gym. On the podcast I've talked a lot about the changes we made in our gym, me realizing my ego, having honest conversations with the athletes, how we handled some of the harder issues like motivation, burnout. But I thought it would be a really cool idea to actually talk with some of our former gymnasts live on the podcast and get their experience and interpretation of what happened, and what they noticed from a gymnast's point of view. I know a lot of people are struggling with trying to improve their culture, but still, maintain progress and have high performance. It can be done and I hope you can take away something from our experience.

 

 

We DISCUSS; how to have better one on one conversations and not be afraid to talk about real issues.

 

WHY change has to start at the top.

 

REALISING whether you’re a coach or gymnast, every moment you're in the gym, there are kids looking up to you.

 

The DIFFERENT ways to modify practices and still make them beneficial for gymnasts.

 

If you want a better culture MAKE SURE you're seeing the humans behind the gymnast.

 

ALSO…

 

DOING the harder thing when it's the right thing to do.
