This week on the podcast, we are kicking off an extremely exciting four-part adventure that has been highly requested by my Hero Lab members, about how to get the most success out of the competitive year in gymnastics. When you look at the competitive year it often becomes overwhelming with what should you be focusing on in the preseason versus the in-season versus the offseason? What is the best strength conditioning, cardio, or approach routine development? I don't have the golden answer that's going to fit everyone. But I'm fortunate over the last 10 years, I've worked with 1000s of gymnasts, as a coach, medical provider, consultant, researcher. Plus learning from phenomenal coaches, I have been able to practically take all of their experiences with my scientific background, and turn it into a successful model of how to approach the competitive year.  In this first lecture, I am going to take people through my state of the approach of what I do right now, starting with some background principles, things we have to know to be successful first, for all parts of the seasons. 

I DISCUSS; the basic equation of human adaptation.

How do you find the optimal dose of stress?

Load and recovery cycles.

ALSO…

The 4 main categories you should be focusing on all year round.

Today on the podcast, we're wrapping up the Q&A podcast series. If I got a dollar for every question I get about motivation, burnout, coaching culture, frustrations with parents, and building a good culture in gyms I'd be a millionaire. I've gone through a lot of ups and downs with cultural stuff myself and I know how hard it is as a coach to feel frustrated, burnt out, and not happy with your job.

This week on the podcast I am extremely excited to share a lecture I gave to Yale Gymnastics Team, where I was asked to speak to them about how to best prepare for preseason. We talked a lot about workload management, getting better recovery, sleep, and different tools and strategies for stress and class management. Anyone who's a gymnast and is trying to balance a busy life on top of the competitive season, this is really important for you to hear. Implementing some of these strategies could make a huge difference to your gymnastics and feeling mentally and emotionally more capable of handling the challenges of season.

This week on the podcast, we finally dive into a highly requested topic that is; Compulsories and Excel gymnastics. My guest today is Victoria Cunningham, who owns Flight Athletics Academy in Tennessee, and we talk about these programs, the common issues, and how she’s overcome them. She also puts out great YouTube content of her compulsory and lower levels gymnasts drills and physical preparation, breaking down exactly why she does what she does. I really think people are going to love this episode, so please do me a massive favor and support Victoria by checking out her YouTube channel, which I know everyone can learn from:
