Stiffness is achieved when the athlete is tighter than the surface they are contacting. Anything less and they’ll leak energy. The youngest athletes find this really difficult, so instead of compromising technique, use surfaces where they can be stiffer (trampolines, air floors, long tramp etc)

It’s always interesting seeing new ideas appear ...

It was a real honour to support the USA Gymnastics Region 8 Congress this past weekend in Duluth, Atlanta.
I had the privilege of delivering four sessions covering physical preparation, skill acquisition, acrobatic development and a wide range of coaching models and frameworks that I've developed.
This was a great experience with a fantastic community and events team and I can't wait to return to the US in a few weeks to deliver a further four sessions at Region 6/7 Congress in Pennsylvania [and then National Congress in Arizona shortly after.]
