There’s a new MLT interview just posted:
The future of Cincinnati is in safe hands with many talented juniors working up the elite ranks including 2012 Junior National Champion, Lexie Preissman.
Lexie will be turning senior in 2013 and is a very eagerly anticipated competitor. She’s strong on all four events and will fit right in with any USA team and will likely pick up a few all around titles while she’s at it! Lexie is the 2012 Jesolo All around Champion, 2010 Super girl Cup Champion and 2011 Junior International Champion. …
You have many talented Junior and Senior Gymnasts in your gym; do you ever find it difficult to split your time with them?
No! I have an incredible coaching staff! I just added Courtney McCool in September to Amy Wert and then my level ten staff are also very strong and helpful!
How do you motivate your girls?
I keep them focused on their goals number one then we do a lot of games and challenges when the periods of training get a little boring or long.

Version 2 is being developed now and we are looking for input …

Here is the link to the app on iTunes. ($4.99)
It’s also available from the App Store.
Looks amazing. Very comprehensive. I’m not sure how many of those features I’d actually use, however.
I’d definitely use the side by side video comparison. Voice for sure.
The videos are date stamped on the timeline automatically. Nice.
Often a gymnast asks for a copy of a certain video clip in training. It couldn’t be easier to email them a copy.
