Scott Hann: 2 decades of coaching Max Whitlock

Scott Hann reflects on the many years and 4 Olympics coaching the greatest gymnast in British history.

After a remarkable and successful relationship came to an end this summer in Paris, Hann reflects on nearly 20 years working with Whitlock, his own gymnastics journey and his passion for developing the next generation of coaches in the sport. 

Max was 12 years old when we started working together at South Essex Gymnastics Club. He was a happy-go-lucky kid but someone with such good basics in gymnastics as well.

I remember taking him to his first major competition in 2006, the UK School Games as a reserve, but the 2010 Commonwealth Games in India was the moment where it all changed.  …

good Backward Giants

Growing gymnasts should have excellent, fast rotating Giants as quality sometimes deteriorates later when they grow taller and put them between the rails.

training Yurchenko on LOW heights

Drills like this encourage gymnasts to contact the table with the feet as low as possible.

That results in a good “block”.

I like training most of the time on tables lower than actual competition height.
