If you want to compete with the Team USA, you’d best be VERY strong.

Strength to weight ratio is critical.

I like Golf. But it doesn’t fit with the other Olympic sports. I’d drop it.

GBR Olympic sports funding

Great Britain had an excellent Olympics. Still benefiting from 2012 investments. In fact they finished ahead of China in the medal table.

Rowing was funded double that of Gymnastics. A good investment?

Canmore Gymnastics Camp

August 14-20, 2016

The 1st annual resident camp for girls was a big success. Food, accommodation, training and special events all included.

Canmore Camp

I was lead coach on Bars. Highlights included two new kips, low to high releases, high to low releases and work on dismounts. Unlike every other Camp in existence, we had zero bleeding rips over 6 continuous days. 🙂 Many drills were assigned that did not require swinging on an actual Bar.

Canmore, Alberta is an outdoor adventure sport mecca in the Rockies. The girls had instruction in one or two action sports every day.
