Thanks for sharing!
CRASH OF THE WEEK
Melissa Doucette fails at a full pirouette to Deltchev. Although we are all sympathetic- we do take great joy in others mistakes. Watch as her friend Kate sprays her with water.
Make sure you watch thru to the end where she does make it!

Cartwheel drills
A cartwheel is certainly not the most difficult skill a child is ever going to learn on floor but every once and a while we get stuck for ideas. Here are two of my favorite stations to teach beginners a cartwheel. Both of these drills have been around for ever so I can not really give credit.

Welcome
Today is the official unveiling of Gym Momentum. This project has been a long time coming!
As coaches, I believe, that we all enjoy hanging out after competitions and training camps – talking gymnastics, sharing drills and ideas and telling great stories. That is the feeling that I want people to have when they visit this website.
Gym Momentum is
- A place to pick up a drill
- A place to share a drill
- A place to share a video of a new skill
- A place to tell a funny story
- A place to share a review/ report on a competition or training camp
and as much as we hate to admit it-
- A place to share a video of a good crash!
I plan on posting things daily Monday- Friday. I already have some great content to share from some great coaches around the country.
I hope you’ll check it out over the next few weeks and consider becoming a contributor as well. Contribute
My dream is for Gym Momentum to become a place where you can laugh, share and learn.

Gym Momentum is almost ready to be unveiled!
Thanks for checking out my newest project, GYM MOMENTUM. I am very excited about what this can become. My goal is for this site to become a place for coaches and even class teachers to get a drill or progression AND share a drill. Every clinic I have ever done I have picked up a new drill or idea. This is a way for you to share your drills with other gymnastics professionals all over the world!
Gymnastics is a dynamic sport, we have to constantly evolve by learning and then sharing that knowledge with the gymnasts. I hope that GYM MOMENTUM can help you stay focused and be creative and help you blast through those road blocks when they come up.
Let’s face it- every once and a while- we all need to vent and blow off steam Because we work with kids- we all have some very funny stories as well. Sometimes we all need to share a laugh. Here is your opportunity.
This site will have new things posted almost daily.
Monday — Blog
Tuesday — Video drill or Training Tip
Wednesday — Featured Guest Blog or article
Thursday/ Friday — Sample lesson plan or progression.
There will also be links to other great sites as well as news, funny videos, and photos.
