GymSmarts has a new video clinician.
Tony Retrosi, since 1994, is the owner, Head Coach and Program director of Atlantic Gymnastics Centers. He is a highly respected and popular National and Regional speaker on the technical aspects of gymnastics, safety and risk management.
Five Bar Skills Every Gymnast Needs, covers everything a coach or gymnastic program needs to develop a strong bar program. The skills covered are: the kip, casting to handstand, clear hip to handstand, flyaways and giants. He also includes a tremendous amount of information on pirouettes. Tony explains how to teach these skills, how he integrates them into war-up sequences, floor bar work out and how he creates a year long bar training plan. His explanations are clear and the DVD contains excellent demonstrations from his gymnasts. This is an excellent video for any club or program.
This video and more are linked from the GymSmarts home page. (A Gymsmarts DVD would make a great stocking stuffer Christmas gift for any coach.)
