Skill Progressions, Mental Blocks, and Building Healthy and High Performing Gymnasts with Cale Robinson

03/09/21 • 76 min

I want to use the podcast as a way to give people involved in gymnastics a positive example to follow, with people who are doing a great job and attacking these grey areas and harder conversations.

This week I am grateful and honoured to be joined by former NNCA athlete and now Ascend Gymnastics Coach Cale Robinson.

We discuss the IMPORTANCE of basics.

And HOW you get parents and gymnasts to buy into your beliefs.

Beyond a handstand the one skill you YOU NEED TO DO perfectly.

WHY knowing how to handle adversity will aid your path for perfection.

HOW to teach the athlete to fall in love with the sport and be SUCCESSFUL on their own.

ALSO...

A must hear talk on FEAR.
