The SHIFT Show

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?

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.

Following the release of our very popular short film a Call For Change, sparked honestly one of my favourite conversations I've ever had on a podcast. With my good friends from Power Monkey Fitness, a company that I've kind of been working for the last five years. Dave Duranty a 2008 Olympian for Team USA for gymnastics, and Chad Vaughn two time Olympian for Team USA for weightlifting. And GB Olympian Jennifer Pinches, who you guys may have heard an episode on earlier this year with Claire Halford. 

We discuss WHAT is going on in the gymnastics world that we need to change?

WHAT are the critical issues that people are facing from the from the coaching point of view, the parent point of view, and also the administration point of view?

The reasons WHY gymnastics in particular, is more susceptible to abuse? 

WHAT a positive coach does differently.

WHEN is showing tough love important for the development of the athlete? 

HOW are the parents handling these issues of abuse? What are they going through?

We SHARE solutions and the next step we believe need to happen.

ALSO…

Is it POSSIBLE for female gymnast to peak at age 24 instead of age 16?
