following Men’s College Gymnastics
In 2019 it’s easy to follow 80+ teams in women’s collegiate gymnastics.
That’s not always the case for the Men. In fact, for some meets it’s challenging even to find LIVE scores online. ☹️
Stick it Media posted some tips:
To follow the action, you have to know when the meets are happening, so bookmark Road to Nationals.
… site has all the schedules and results in one handy, interactive place, along with a link to the CGA website (which has recaps of each week’s action).
http://collegegymnews.com/ also has some men’s coverage.
Like/follow your favorite teams (or all of them) on Facebook and follow them on Twitter. Check their official websites for links to live scoring. A twitter account is highly recommended if you want to get the most of following men’s NCAA gymnastics online. Many teams put up Facebook Live streams at the last minute, so following on FB/twitter is a great way to get notified about the streams. Following on Twitter gives access to scores/lineups in real time. Both FB and Twitter are good (read mostly only) sources for videos.
Links to NCAA/GymACT social media are all HERE
Subscribe to this list to get all the Twitter feeds in one place – great for meet day and following lineups/scores in real time.
I’d add a recommendation to follow Gymnasticsville and listen to their podcast. This is the best coverage I’ve seen so far this season.
new documentary – Broken Trust: Ending Athlete Abuse
Filmmaker and journalist Jill Yesko is fund-raising to complete a planned documentary. She represented the United States in the 1983 World University Games in cycling.

are coaches willing to CHANGE?
I go to a lot of Gyms. A lot of excellent gyms.
Many coaches are doing many things right.
My last visit was to a club where only one of the competitive team had anything taped. It has a reputation for keeping girls in Gym through High School.
When I watched training my main feedback was to KEEP doing what they are doing: good basics, safe landings, good handstands.
That said, none of us are the best coach in the world. We should all constantly be evaluating and tweaking our training plans.
Some advice from Dave Tilley:
1. Everyone Taking On More Accountability and Self Awareness
2. Eliminate the Say-Do Gap
3. Pushing Athletes Hard But Intelligently
4. Collaborate, and Give Everyone and Equal Voice in Training Decisions
5. Critique Athlete Behavior, Not The Athlete
6. Don’t Value The Opinion Someone Has of You More Than Your Opinion of Yourself
7. Don’t Be Afraid of Very New, and Very Different, Ideas
