Charles Minster is the best editor of gymnastics coaching videos in Australia. He’s a legend Down Under.
GREAT NEWS. His work, previously only easily available only in Australia and the U.K., is now being distributed by GymSmarts, the #1 producer of Gymnastics Educational and Training Videos and DVDs in the world.
The first three video sets — all featuring coaches from the U.K. — are recent releases:
I have all three and can strongly recommend them:
1) Dance for Gymnastics with Daniela Nanova (2 DVDs $75) – my review
2) Gymnastics Skills with Christine Still (2 DVDs $75)3) Key Skills in Advanced Gymnastics for girls & boys by Paul Hall (2 DVDs $75)
The three are complimentary. Obviously the first set is specifically for coaches of dance, artistic preparation and choreography.
British coach Christine Still covers basic skills for the beginner and intermediate women’s artistic gymnastics coach.
But the best of the three sets, for me, is Paul Hall from England. This is the best video I saw in 2007. He’s a brilliant and original coach. The drills interesting and unusual. The video content is valuable for Men’s coaches as well as Women’s. (Read my review of this DVD set from last September.)
All three have sample video clips — check those out — linked from the GymSmarts home page.
