Anyone competing double double should easily be able to train triple double into the pit.

Kyle Shewfelt, for example, dismounted consistently with double double. He trained up to 10 triple doubles a day.

It’s very easy for her. Arms vertical on set to increase height because rotation is not a worry.

Vanessa Atler interview

Like pretty much everyone I was a big fan of Vanessa Atler in the dark days of late 1990s USA Gymnastics.

GymCastic posted an excellent, candid interview from some months ago. Vanessa volunteered to be interviewed, clearing up many questions we had about her career.

254: Vanessa Atler

She explains how she often did not know what her coaches, parents and manager were discussing.

If you don’t have time to listen, Dvora Meyers posted a summary with commentary — Former National Champion Speaks Out About USA Gymnastics’ Problems With Eating Disorders And Abuse.
