The course is digital. Video and PDF.

Coaches can annotate the PDFs or print the material. Coach Kipp got his printed and bound for only $20.

Personally, I’m going to bring both printed and digital copies to future courses. As one coach noted: “Print copies don’t run out of battery in the middle of the session.”

Alyssa Baumann withdraws from trials

Alyssa Baumann Injured, Withdraws from Olympic Trials

Terrible timing.

Alyssa is one of those inspiring future generations of gymnasts around the world.

Jazzy Foberg, Bailie Key and Norah Flately will not be competing. Gymnastics is a dangerous sport. At any one time a high percentage of gymnasts are injured. 😦

USOC revokes credentials for FloSports

The USOC has revoked Olympics and U.S. Olympic trials credentials for sports media startup FloSports for publishing video footage of several Olympics trials events. NBCUniversal owns exclusive rights to Olympics and team-selection events …

FloSports CEO & co-Founder Martin Floreani disputes the charge and criticized the USOC. …

Sports Business Daily

FloSports (including FloGymnastics) is a for profit company often criticized for pushing the limits of what’s legal and what’s ethical.

FloGymnastics has certainly improved over the years. But many are reluctant to link to FloGymnastics as they almost never link back.
