I communicate often with the parents of the athletes I coach, and occasionally, one of them will feel the need to confide in me that their child is having difficulty with one or more of their peers. This conversation is absolutely acceptable, as it will help me to coach their child better knowing that they are being bullied/picked on outside of the gym, and it's negatively affecting their confidence. It breaks my heart when I hear about the way these young ladies treat each other. I'm not a parent yet, but I would definitely teach my kids that the world can be a cruel place, so they need to learn how to have thick skin and not worry about what others think. That said, above all else, they should treat everyone with respect, regardless of how they are being treated by them. If everyone lived by the golden rule, the world would be a much better place.

About two years ago, an athlete enrolled at the gym with a mental block that she acquired while training at another gym. She had a "solid" standing back handspring and roundoff back handspring. The issue was that she was pushed to perform the skill before she was truly ready and confident enough to do it on her own. She got to the point in which she became scared and would not do either. We had to go all the way back to the drawing board, break down the skill using drills, and break the bad habits she was allowed to repeat over and over again at her previous gym. She was so scared to do them that it took a while to actually do a back handspring. She did a lot of reps over the boulder and a lot of reps with me spotting heavily while I helped correctly mold and shape the skill. Now, here we are two years later, and she consistently performs her standing back handspring, standing back handspring series, and roundoff 3 back handsprings. She just got her roundoff back handspring tuck on the floor without a spot, and she almost has her standing tuck on the floor! Helping an athlete break through barriers and overcome their fears is one of the most satisfying aspects of being a coach. I'm so lucky to be a coach, and I'm so proud of all the athletes I train! 💚🖤⚡️

I'm not one to seek out affirmation, but receiving the occasional text with positive feedback from a parent and/or athlete definitely let's me know that I'm doing something right. It fuels the coach in me and feeds my soul. These kids mean more to me than they will ever know, and I'm thankful to have the opportunity to coach them! 😊💚🖤⚡️

Are you doing the necassary things to grow and develop into the best athlete you can be? It's true that an occasional short burst of intensity and practice is better than nothing, but if you truly want to progress and master your craft, you must consistently train on a regular basis. To clarify, consistency does NOT equate to motivation. You will never have 100% motivation 100% of the time, but it's during those times when you don't feel motivated that you dig down deep and do what needs to be done to maintain your skill set. The more frequently you train AND give your maximum effort, the more results you will see. Consistency is key! 💚🖤⚡️
