This is Heather from Memphis, TN, the young editor of the astonishing Gymnastics Unlimited website.
At first glance Gymnastics Unlimited looks like many other “fan” sites. (Heather is ShanFan and also edits Shannon Shines, the web’s biggest Shannon Miller photo gallery.)
When you dig a little deeper into Gymnastics Unlimited you find a sprawling wealth of coaching resources and information. I will be linking to it frequently in future.
At first I could not believe Heather could have put together so much content herself. But it turned out she has been posting to the internet since age 14 — long before me.
Where to start?
The most unique and valuable resource for coaches, I think, is her huge skills video clip archive. These are available from many places on the site — start with her Gym Glossary page. Then browse the Cool Skills page. Or her Perfection page.
Heather has edited many terrific videos. Start from her video Montages page.
This just scatches the surface. It would take days to browse the sounds, music, coaches, birthdays, tributes, trivia, biographies and everything else Heather has assembled.
Wow.
Heather competed at a high level into her 20s. Right now she is the head coach of a level 4 and level 5 competitive team, and also coaches classes of level 1s, 2s, and 3s.
I really hope she keeps up her work on the internet. And starts a blog. She has a unique knowledge set after studying so much video.
