American Cup TV ratings down

The Nassar scandal seems to be hurting the American fan base.

… (2018) American Cup gymnastics competition had a 0.67 rating and 982,000 viewers on NBC, down 11% in ratings and 6% in viewership from last year (0.75, 1.0M) and down 18% and 17% respectively from 2016 (0.8, 1.2M).

It was the lowest rated American Cup in at least a decade and the least-watched since at least 2009.

YouTube shuts down at midnight

April Fools. 🙄

YouTube is the single best thing that’s every happened for Gymnastics coaches in my opinion.

It’s easy to find information on nearly every coaching topic. You still need skill to distinguish between the good and the bad, of course.

Praise YouTube.
