Dieter Hoffman in Scotland

Men’s National Coach Jim Holt brought in the man whom I often call the second most successful coach in gymnastics history. (After Leonid Arkaev)

The Scottish Men’s Gymnastics National squad was provided a 4-day “immersion” in gymnastics systems and instructions by gymnastics legend Dieter Hoffman this week.

Hoffman, former head coach of both German Democratic Republic (DDR) men’s and women’s teams and now a consultant and lecturer for the FIG spent 4 days in Glasgow exposing 9 high-performance coaches and 19 squad gymnasts to his philosophies, training systems, technical methods, and inspiring “gymnastics world view”.
