Year: 2016

Louisiana Gym Clubs flooded

Many are struggling to get back up to speed. Acadiana Gymnastics, for example, had both their Gyms flooded.


C.G.’s:

Our gym is like a second home to many of our 700 students. It is what they love and we are family here. We are doing our best to open as soon as possible to bring back some normalcy to our students – many of whom have lost their homes as well. …

All of the funds donated will go to restoring the gym and helping re-home the families of the gym affected by the flood.

The Gymnastics finishes at the 2min mark. She wanders off next to wash her car. 🙂

#FireAlTrautwig

The Busy Fan was surprised to hear of all the hate directed towards Al Trautwig during the Olympics.

After all, he’s the everyman of the NBC Primetime commentary team. The one who’s supposed to make the casual fan feel less stupid in not understanding all the nuance.

NBC Primetime seems to work for the casual fan. Coaches should watch pretty much any other source of coverage. All are better for us than NBC Primetime.

Who Is Al Trautwig?

Personally I always enjoy listening to Tim Daggett. He’s a coach. He knows what he’s talking about. Of the three he does by far the most research in advance of the competition.

If you want to compete with the Team USA, you’d best be VERY strong.

Strength to weight ratio is critical.
