Merry Gymnasty Christmas
Merry Christmas from Milton Springers Gymnastics Club. 🙂
why I won the Olympics
UPDATED with Part 3
1. Attention to detail.
2. Planning.
3. Professionalism.
4. Listen to your body. Trust your intuition.
5. Journaling/Reflection
6. Clear and Specific Goals7. Open Communication
8. High Standard
9. Give yourself a physical/mental break…but timing is key
10. Build strengths. Maintain weaknesses.
11. Safety first.
12. Pressure Situations
13. I learned how to compete and how to deal with competition day.
Knowing how to turn it on when you have one shot in competition is a whole different experience than performing well in training. There are ‘athletes’ and then there are ‘competitors’. I was a competitor. I kind of liken it to being a warrior and competition was the battlefield.
I was different on competition day – my adrenaline would be pumping and my senses would be alive. Normally I am quite outgoing, but I turned into a very quiet person leading up to a big meet. I needed to be by myself in my own little world so I wouldn’t get distracted. I had to learn how to control all of the EXTRA stuff that came on competition day. As much as we want to pretend it’s just like training, your body and mind know it’s not.
14. Consistency led to confidence.
15. Social Responsibility
16. Innovation and creativity
17. Desire and Obsession
18. Belief

Why does FIG approve “single point of failure” apparatus? If one link in one chain fails, the entire apparatus falls.
In other high risk activities — mountain climbing, for example — redundancy in safety attachments is the norm.
To rappel you should set primary and secondary anchors.

Nabieva retires
Sad news this holiday season, Russian gymnast Tatiana Nabieva has decided to call it quits on the sport of gymnastics.
According to Russian Gymnastics Facebook, Tatiana announced her impending retirement via her Instagram account. This is what she had to say:
“Thanks to my coaches for this. They took me out of children garden, they did my homework with me, they brought me up and cheered me up when I felt bad. They didn’t let me fell to the bottom and took me out of there. Big thanks to my coaches Kiryashovim A.V and V.I. You’re my mother and father! I love you! “

I hope she stays involved in the sport, one way or another.
