Today on the podcast, I'm very excited to be joined by Lindsey Stancil, a high-level coach in the Pennsylvania area. She's been professional and grateful enough to share some alternative points of view on some pretty controversial and complex topics. Being a higher level coach she has a different perspective to me, a middle-level coach, and medical provider. Lindsey points out there are great coaches out there who are doing an awesome job but are being asked to perform 17 different roles. They're trying to be strength coaches, physiologists, managing recovery, and nutrition. 

We DISCUSS training hours, HOW making recommendations or mandates too soon without talking them through can have negative consequences on kid's dreams.

ADVICE to coaches: do you know your purpose and is it easy for you to make the right decisions? The importance of making sure you have a strong mission statement for yourself.

‘You're just a coach, when are you going to get a real job’ EVERYTHING that’s wrong with this statement.

HOW to train those hard skills to young talented 8, 9, 10-year-olds, teaching pace, technique, and developing skills safely.

The PRESSURE of parents.

PRACTICAL advice to coaches or parents who are trying to build a better environment and culture in their gym, helping everyone, not just the kids but coaches as well, be happier with their daily work. 

ALSO…

WHY is a 12-year old deciding yourself worth today?

Mike Reiman on Hip Dysplasia/Microinstability Injuries and Finding Success as a Clinician

Today on the podcast I geek out with Duke faculty member & physical therapy researcher, Mike Reinman. One of the most stressful areas for clinicians & coaches is hip injuries, hypermobile, loose gymnast hips. Mike is doing phenomenal work putting out great information on hip dysplasia. We dive into this as it's often not talked about. But there’s a lot of great research now which means better tools to understand how to help athletes. 

We DISCUSS why you should be hanging out with surgeons if you want to work with hips.

The DIFFERENCE between Hip dysplasia and or instability.

The IMPORTANCE of mentorship, what it really is, and how to approach someone.

DECIPHERING protocols for hip surgeries.

HOW somebody can be stiff and loose at the same time.

Mike explains THE EPIC RETURN - what to do early on to help with symptoms or build strength.

ALSO…

Mike’s top ADVICE for new grads.

Today on the podcast, I had a great chat with Rebecca Smith who asked me to come on an Instagram Live and talk about, creating cultures where people can feel safe and progression towards high-level goals.  What we're looking at in terms of evolving the culture around competitions and what valuable life lesson are we trying to teach kids, pulling away from ‘it’s only about scores, medals and placements’ and ‘the highlights on Facebook or Instagram.

We DISCUSS the type of culture that allows athletes to be happy and successful.

Is it RIGHT that gyms send out level eights to compete at level five? Is winning at all costs worth it?

If you're EXPECTING that success will bring you happiness, then it never will.

The VALUE of supportive parents and coaches that are unconditional.

HOW to help kids communicate, develop a voice and empower them.

The IMPORTANCE of choice and consent.

ALSO…

HOW our actions create consequences?

EPISODE 87 –  CHELLSIE MEMMEL DISCUSSES HER ELITE COMEBACK, LESSONS LEARNED, AND POSITIVE COACHING PHILOSOPHIES

How do you build a strength program for gymnast in 2021 from scratch? 

With overwhelming amount of information on the internet, on gymnasts lifting weights, or knowing how many days, reps, sets or even which exercises to do. It can be stressful for coaches to know where to start. So I enlisted the help of my good friends Dan Lonsdale and Nick Ruddock to combined our brains and literally build a strength program from scratch!

We discuss WHAT what we would do in 4-5 training sessions, the exercises, the set and reps.

WHEN to program light days or heavy days.

The IMPORTANCE of core work. 

Dan illustrates the BEST way to increase strength using proper general conditioning and weight room stuff.

WHAT gymnastic specific floor lines, active flex and handstands/body alignment exercises to do.

Nick explains his Daily Dozen.

ALSO…

HOW to apply our program to those who train three days per week.

Check out the blog post which has FREE downloadable templates of our strength program, blank templates, along with some extra recourses myself, Dan and Nick put together to help build your own strength program. Watch on YouTube to see us sharing the screen, writing down the exact things that we would do along with videos of the exercises. 

This information is so important, it’ll increase your athletes performance and reduce the risk of injury. This is the future of gymnastics moving forward, so the more people we can get on board the better healthier athletes we can have.
