Tom Forster steps down

Good coach. I truly believe he tried to help the USAG Elite WAG program evolve for the better.

But communication was not great right from the start.

I hope the next National Team Director works with much more transparency. Clear, written expectations. Decisions based on performance and criteria set in advance.

Winter Olympics – pressure on China

As a volunteer for IOC and keen booster of the Olympic movement, I support this decision.

Coach Team Canada

Once again, Gymnastics Canada is advertising for a WAG National Team Head Coach.

In recent years, Ellie Black’s coach — David Kikuchi — has mostly filled that role.

Any candidate applying should have experience coaching one of the top 8 teams in the world.

Nick Ruddock was brought in as a guest coach for the most recent National Team Camp. He posted this photo on Facebook.
