Scott Barclay and ASU Gymnastics

It might seem inevitable that NCAA division 1 will continue to decline, being replaced by non-scholarship club programs.

I hope that’s not the case.

Nobody has done College club Gymnastics better than Scott Barclay at Arizona State University.

Right now they fundraise $225,000 annually to keep the dynasty going.

Scott Barclay dedicates life to keeping ASU men’s gymnastics alive

gymnasts dealing with injury

Almost every gymnast — sooner or later — has to reduce training due to injury.

At one big club I scheduled an ‘injury group’ (WAG & MAG). Most trained about 50% of their regular hours at reduced fees. And each had a ‘personal program’ that they completed each day.

I’d coach my own group as well as the ‘injury group’.

Being injured can reduce motivation. Here are some TIPS from top gymnasts.
