… Right now I’m working our girls mid-season conditioning program. Also planning for transition and summer.

I’m looking for inspiration at conditioning posted by:

• Chris Sommer – GymnasticBodies
• Tammy Biggs (FREE VIDEOS)
• Mary Lee Tracy (FREE VIDEOS)

Tammy has a new website, by the way, offering “streaming” video clips. ($1-$13)

Olympic Year?

That means we due for an onslaught of photo journalism from China. Coaches being mean to disturbingly small and young looking children.

Photos of smiling or older gymnasts never make it past the editor.

PhotoBlog – In China, never too young to begin rigorous gymnastics training

… not to say that many Chinese coaches aren’t severe. The concept of Respect in Sport has not gotten there yet.

Easy.

I saw that on It’s About Artistic Gymnastics.

The Gwinnett Center, located about 30 minutes outside of Atlanta, was the host of SEC Championships. And will host NCAA Championships 2012.

If you’re planning to attend, check out this post by Eric SanInocencio – SEC Gymnastics: Championship Photoblog

Massive. And impressive.

EliteAthlete10 was at SECs:

It really looked as if every team had a hard time adjusting to the podium. I’ve never seen so many teams have so many little errors …

… In fact, several times I saw Mitch Wynn (from Wynn-Wynn Athletics – the supplier of the equipment) shrugging his shoulders when he was asked about what was going on with the podium (in a joking manner). He looked to be fairly confused, too. Either way, more bouncier podiums or just more adrenaline, the SEC better figure it out for Nationals. Those performances most likely won’t cut it and win a National Championship if other teams can adjust better. …

My Post-Meet Take on SECs (and some Videos)

I feel the SEC teams are at an advantage. They know the podium now. And can make some training adjustments over the coming weeks.

Big time recruit. I can pretty much guarantee that Jessica Savona will be a superstar for Louisiana State University.
