Of all social media providers in Liverpool, GymCastic had the biggest team. And worked the longest hours.
They also organized a LIVE show which entertained me and hundreds more LIVE and online.
I listen to a lot of podcasts. But if you don’t, I suggest you try this episode of GymCastic. The LAST day of the World Championships Finals.
I’ll be attending the GymCastic LIVE show at Worlds Liverpool 8:00pm local (GMT+1/1pm Pacific/4pm Eastern) on November 5th, 2022.
Tickets went on sale today.
If you won’t be in Liverpool, you can attend virtually for $25.
No doubt we’ll see additional surprise guests make an appearance.
Yul posted his 1st podcast on Gymnasticsville.
He details his very busy year since the Olympics. Explained his decision to add difficulty on certain apparatus in certain meets.
And strategy to peak for Worlds 2022.
Very interesting for coaches. For gymnasts, Yul highly recommends they consider competing Bundesliga in Europe.
Listen here.
The jobs are challenging. But for some reason I’m optimistic this weird U.S. women’s gymnastics leadership team: Alicia, strategic lead, and Chellsie, technical lead, and Dan Baker, developmental lead — is going to be a success.
My first reaction was that neither Chellsie nor Alicia are going to take any crap — from anyone. Both can speak truth to power.
You can listen to both interviewed on GymCastic.

One of the legendary NCAA coaches all-time is both entertaining and educational. I enjoyed hearing her many strategies for building Georgia into one of the top teams.
Highly recommended.

Listen online to start, as the podcast is not yet listed in every podcast directory.
Nick interviews Gordon MacLelland of Working with Parents in Sport.
Dealing successfully with parents is a much neglected coaching skill.
They discuss how to onboard NEW parents starting with your pre-competitive programs.
Gordon recommends offering parents 4 minute Zoom sessions on a regular basis to avoid miscommunication.
Fans are Fanatics.
We once had to rely on “mainstream media” to cover Gymnastics.
A few TV channels. International Gymnast magazine.
Sports Illustrated … every 4 years.
The situation for fans (and coaches) is much better today.
YOU and anyone online can post your own opinions the sport at no cost. And you might find an audience.
I recall when non-gymnast Spencer Barnes launched The Balance Beam Situation.
Instantly it was my #1 source of information on NCAA Gymnastics.
On the down side, every #hater, #troll and #bully can get online, as well.
