One of my mentors in coach education was Tom Kinsman, technical coordinator for the Canadian Gymnastics Federation starting 1973. And later working for Coaching Association of Canada.
He developed the Canadian Coaching Certification Program alongside his partner-in-crime, Keith Russell.
As a clinician, I’ve always tried to live up to the standards set by Tom and Keith. They are my role models to this day.
Tom died Sept 11, 2021 from complications from Alzheimers. He’s remembered fondly and vividly by all who knew him.
Read his obituary.

Security Concepts Group was terminated less than four months after its CEO reported potential misconduct at a USA Gymnastics event to the U.S. Center for SafeSport
Security Concepts Group was hired by USAG to provide security at major events such as the Olympic Trials and U.S. Championships as well as national team training camps.
But when the CEO reported to SafeSport incidents he saw where Rhythmic coaches were slapping or patting underage female gymnasts on the buttocks, the company eventually lost the contract.
Perhaps losing the job was unrelated to his SafeSport report. But it certainly looks bad for USAG. It should be investigated.
