I believe the single most important aspect in all of gymnastics has to do with learning the correct technique for all skills, not matter the gymnast's level. Too many times do you see gymnasts performing skills that they are either not ready for, or that just simply look sloppy. Throughout my time as a gymnast, coach and judge, I have noticed a limited number of resources regarding technique published for coaches. My main goal is for coaches and gymnasts alike to understand the importance of technique, and to realize that without it skills can only go so far.
My first gymnastics class was a mommy and me class at the age of three. I instantly fell in love with the sport and have been involved with gymnastics, whether it be a gymnast,coach, or judge, ever since. I loved flipping and twisting in the air, and my favorite event by far was vault.
