Maggie & Kyla – College Coaches

An excellent interview.

Maggie:

I really didn’t know what to expect and how I would feel. But I think it’s such a great experience and I feel like I’m still a part of the team.

I’m really enjoying the experience and I feel like I have a different perspective than the coaches, because I just did gymnastics last year and so I feel like I can give different corrections and things like that. I just love still being a part of this sport in some way. …

Kyla:

I want to take this year and gain as much experience as I can to see if I potentially want to coach in the future, so I think just observing how the other coaches are interacting with the girls is something that I’ve tried to focus on a lot. …

Thanks Greg.

BYU had a great season

I recall when Guard Young took the Head Coaching position, wondering whether it would work.

He was switching from coaching Men’s Gymnastics with Mark Williams to the WAG team at BYU.

It worked.

My brother did 2 degrees at Brigham Young. That’s a University that demands discipline.

I shouldn’t be surprised. His father Wayne Young was the top American at the 1976 Olympics. AND a very successful coach.

Guard trained as a gymnast with Mark Williams from age-13, eventually qualifying for the 2004 Olympics. Silver medalist, by the way.

I’m already looking forward to next season.

Men’s NCAA struggle for survival

Will Graves interviewed Justin Spring, Mike Burns, Shane Wiskus, and many others putting together an article before the end of the College season.

Iowa dropped Men’s Gymnastics.

Two months later, Minnesota dropped the men’s team.

The losses will leave just five men’s gymnastics programs in the Big Ten and just 11 at the Division I level overall, not including the three service academies.

And it leaves the USA Gymnastics men’s program in the precarious position of trying to reclaim a spot among the world’s elite while dealing with a diminishing talent base.

There are 11,000 boys or men enrolled in USA Gymnastics, down from over 13,000 in 2007. With only 6.3 scholarships available per school at Division I …

Football and men’s basketball pay a massive chunk of the bills. Athletic directors are increasingly concerned about what the shifting economics mean to Olympic sports. Nearly 80% of the 558 U.S. athletes at the Rio Games in 2016 came out of an American college program. …
