Basketball coach Mark Few

NCAA MEN’S Basketball — in case you only follow the women’s game. 😀

His team is up for the National Championships tonight against Baylor.

Highest winning percentage among NCAA basketball coaches (minimum 600 games) : .835

Most consecutive tournament appearances since starting as head coach : 21

Mark has coached at Gonzaga University in Spokane since 1989.

Coach has obviously turned down many job offers from big market Universities over the years. He likes Gonzaga.

straight body cast hand drill

“Hollowback press” drills are standard Men’s conditioning. But NOT a staple of women’s artistic strength programs.

Variations of this — usually off a low height — are some of my favourite conditioning drills for straight body cast handstand on Bars.

MUCH faster and easier than spotting kids with the faint hope that you’ll be able to withdraw the spot over time.

That’s from Chris Sommer on Gymnastic Bodies.

His strength training manual is now available as a digital edition.

Lynnzee Brown to Haiti?

Lynnzee’s story at Denver is already historic.

She’s yet to announce whether or not she’ll compete a 5th season — and whether or not she’ll continue to train for Elite.

While competing for Team U.S.A. would be an enticing option, Brown is also drawn to her heritage and would love to pursue a dual citizenship from her father’s home country of Haiti. Although the island country does not have a gymnastics team or a training program in the U.S., she views this as an opportunity to create something new before the 2024 Paris Olympics.
