The SHIFT Show

Gymnastics Canada asked myself and a wonderful researcher, Gretchen Kerr, to join their Culture and Coaching Development Webinar and have a honest talk about how we approach culture change.

We discuss HOW gymnastics coaches can find a balance of pushing the envelope, to be positive and successful, but also maintain health and wellness for athletes, parents and themselves.

WHAT is Safe Sport?

 The changes in social norms and WHY, what was okay in the past in not okay now.

WHAT does psychological harm and neglect in sport look like?

WHY change starts with you as an individual.

HOW to incorporate the athletes voice into your coaching philosophy and everyday practice.

THE priority filter and how to use it in difficult conversations or decisions 

ALSO…

ADVICE for new coaches with old school supervisors.

I want to use the podcast as a way to give people involved in gymnastics a positive example to follow, with people who are doing a great job and attacking these grey areas and harder conversations.

This week I am grateful and honoured to be joined by former NNCA athlete and now Ascend Gymnastics Coach Cale Robinson. 

We discuss the IMPORTANCE of basics.

And HOW you get parents and gymnasts to buy into your beliefs.

Beyond a handstand the one skill you YOU NEED TO DO perfectly.

WHY knowing how to handle adversity will aid your path for perfection.

HOW to teach the athlete to fall in love with the sport and be SUCCESSFUL on their own. 

ALSO…

A must hear talk on FEAR.

Parent coach relationships are super challenging.

A highly requested episode from the Shift community when I asked what people are struggling with. I got together a great panel of people in this realm: Chelcie who was a Devision 2 Gymnast and her mum Dianna from the Routine Podcast and Eva Shute who runs four gyms which over the last eight years we have been rebuilding the culture together.

We discuss the FALSE time line in gymnastics.

How many decisions have you made without asking ENOUGH questions?

The difference between a HELICOPTER PARENT and the rightly so involved parent.

The CONCEPT of unrealistic goals and sharing goals so that everyone is on the same page

ALSO…

Realising that it’s about what the ATHLETE wants.

Not only a coach working hard to change the culture in his gym, Brett Wargo from Ascend Gymnastics Seattle is great a representative of the work I do with Shift. 

We discuss WHY it’s so important to work on basics from a young age.

HOW do you get the athletes to care enough to do really good basics?

HOW on how do you find good quality information?!

AND HOW do possibly you fit everything into your daily schedule?!!

We dive into the rate at which you accumulate miles as a younger athlete.

PLUS…

Brett explains his proposal for a NEW SYSTEM.
