I was honoured to have Bin Fan, 1996 Olympic medallist for China, attend a coaching course I directed.
We asked Bin (now coaching in Canada) about differences between coaching in China and Canada.
He said the biggest difference is the number of Tumbl Trak tumbling trampolines in North America. They are still not commonly used in China.
Bin likes them.
TUMBL TRAKâ„¢
The original Tumbl Trakâ„¢ is a training tool designed to allow for increased repetition of tumbling and gymnastic skills and to decrease stress on body parts.
That was the same comment we heard a few years ago from the famous Russian acrobatic tumbling coach, Vassili Skakun. He said the best thing about tumbling in North America is the Tumbl Trak.
We should all thank Trampoline inventors George Nissen and Larry Griswold.
