Faye Roberts from Queensland, Australia has a professional website, a book and video.
I immediately took advantage of this offer:

While everything looks great at first glance …
… red flags went up for me when I watched the sample video.
The (too skilled) demonstrator is using a competitive tramp, not a backyard trampoline. There are no spotters. No adult in view.
The girl bounces facing sideways at one point, a big no-no.
I could go on.
In my opinion our coaching community should be discouraging the use of backyard trampolines at every opportunity. Products like this simply legitimize something that should be disallowed.
The demonstrator on the video is skilled because she trained at a club with an experience coach. That’s what we want for all children, everywhere.
I am negative about marketing this resource to parents just as I am about the book Backyard Trampolining: A Comprehensive Guide for the Trampolinist which was written by a good friend of mine.
Leave a comment if you think I am being too cautious.
