coaching after retirement

A TV commercial for the AARP (formerly the American Association of Retired Persons) features “Trampoline and Gymnastics Coach, Dr. Max Vercruyssen, who is also US Senior National Trampoline Team member Nani Vercruyssen’s coach and father.”

Click PLAY or watch it on YouTube.

I learned of Max’s ad via Trampoline Pundit.

At age-55 I’m now personally very busy.

But MY retirement plans include even more coaching. :-)

Grayson: Earth One – episode 1

The first episode of the new Batman fan film is online now. Production values look good.

It stars Olympians Raj Bhavsar and Steve McCain in the title role.

Edgy, dark, violent and loud.

Click PLAY or watch it on YouTube.

To continue the series, they are looking for contributions totaling $40,000.

For a $1000 you can get a walk-on part in the show. You’d FINALLY be a movie star.

coach at Manjak’s Gymnastics

I’m at Kelly Manjak’s new gym in Toronto.

July 1st Kelly begins full training for the 2013-14 season. For the first time in his career, he can run a program exactly as he wants. :-)

A number of new coaches start July 1st. But there are jobs still open.

Email resume and cover letter to ManjakGym (a) gmail.com if interested in getting in on the ground floor of a brand new program. New facility. New equipment.

Positive coaching style a must. Happy, healthy gymnasts the goal.

Beam, Dance, Choreography expertise most needed.

Yamilet Peña – coaching problems

A big success story for the Dominican Republic is 2012 Olympian Yamilet Peña Abreu.

But gymnastics in that tiny nation has a troubled history.

The training equipment has not been well maintained.

Gymnasia Latina is now reporting (Spanish) that her coach, Frank Susana, stopped working due to insufficient salary.

Edwin Rodriguez, president of the Dominican Federation of Gymnastics:

“We do not have that amount of money required, we are a federation poor, but we know he deserves it. We will appeal to the Minister (Jaime David Fernandez) to see if we get a coach. It is difficult to get a good one, try to keep up, but could not, “Rodriguez said. …

Peña is still hoping to compete at Worlds in Belgium this October.

Pro Gym Challenge – night 3

Rope Climb was easily my favourite apparatus so far. :-)

Click PLAY or watch Part 1 on YouTube.

It definitely should have been a TIE.

That finish was too close to call.

And by what Code of Points does Kat Ding beat J Lo on Bars?
That’s a war crime Team USA. :-(

I’m for Shayla winning Beam. Or it being a tie. … Allowing appeals of tie breakers is a bit too messy for a fun event like this.

@Paul_Ruggeri is Pro Gym Challenge MVP.

Laura-Anne’s Bar dismount was clearly cleaner. Better. Judges got that one wrong.

OK …

Like most every reality TV show, the “competition” is silly. I’m not sure many of the competitors truly cared who WON.

Looking forward to Pro Gym Challenge 2014. :-0

Team IGC wins Pro Gym Challenge

Whatever that means. :-)

Bars

I’m not sure many people care.

This event is more about seeing some of the most popular gymnasts ever do really cool stuff.

Love it.

Pros

Funny word in Gymnastics – “Professional”.

Pros

Pro Gym Challenge ESPN deal

Great news for gymnasts, coaches and fans.

… Brent Klaus, CEO of International Gymnastics Camp and creator of the Challenge, told FORBES that his property signed a three-year option (including this year) with ESPN.

”We expect a .3 share with ESPN based on past gymnastics events that have been aired on ESPN,” said Klaus. That would mean that on average .3 percent of all television-equipped households will be tuned in to the Pro Gymnastics Challenge at any given moment. …

If Klaus’ prediction comes true, it would not be a bad showing for his new property.
