Who is More Important? The coach or athelte?

Another great article by Greg Roe in gregroetrampoline.

 

"Hey Everyone,

Just took a break from studying for midterms to discuss a topic that seems to always get brought up in sports. Who is more important? The athlete or the coach? Seems like a straight forward “DUUUUUHHHHH” kind of answer – The athlete- , however sometimes I find that coaches forget that. I should say that all the opinions I express are my own and I am not trying to disrespect anyone or tell anyone to change their coaching styles or saying mine is better etc. I just have been thinking about it a lot lately and decided to share some of my views.

There are a lot of different coaching styles out there from the aggressive traditional European style. Not saying all Europeans are that way but that is the stereotype. There is the passive coach that allows the athlete to do what he or she wants most of the time and just helps out when the athlete asks for it. Some coaches expect the athlete to learn mostly on their own and will just monitor the progression. These styles and anything in between are used on athletes every day of training. So what one works best?"

George Nissen the Inventor of the Modern Trampoline

George Nissen, who is recognized as the inventor of the modern trampoline, died on April 8, 2010 at 96 years old from complications from pneumonia. He was born on February 1, 1914, in Blairstown, Iowa. He helped trampoline become a worldwide interest through his exhibitions and travels dreaming one day it would become an Olympic sport. While watching trapeze artists at a circus rebound on a safety net Nissen was inspired. He was a member of his high school’s tumbling team and also learned how to dive at the local YMCA. George thought that adapting the safety net concept could be really helpful to his training.

Trampoline Pundit new article - The Big Decision

The trampoline pundit new article it´s about Savannah Vinsant, that made history last summer placing 6th at the Olympic Games in Trampoline, the first American to ever make an Olympic final. At 19, she was also the youngest competitor. She trains in Lafayette, LA with Dmitri Poliaroush and Tara Guidry at Trampoline and Tumbling Express.

 

"I remember my first day of trampoline practice like it was yesterday. I climbed on top of the four-foot high apparatus and was terrified. I kept my eyes on my coach Mr. Dmitri, who was at the far end of the end-deck mat telling me to push. Even though I was nervous and uncertain about the trampoline, I still felt so excited to be on there. As soon as I got off, I couldn’t wait to get back up and do it again!

 

The year 2000, while living in Lafayette, Louisiana, I began competing in trampoline. From my first national championships it became a dream of mine to compete in the Olympic Games someday."

Trampolinist Laura Gallagher appeal for leg warmers

Star trampolinist Laura Gallagher of Cheddar High Flyers is backing a charity challenge asking knitters for leg warmers. The knitted garments are great for trampoliners like the world and European medallist as they don't build up static and obviously keep legs warm.

 

The knit pattern is on www.supertramp.co.uk

 

All leg warmers returned to Laura's sponsor, Super Tramp, will be sold and the money given to the CF Trust. Valid until: Thursday, February 28 2013

 

The CF Trust says young cystic fibrosis sufferers like trampolining as part of their daily physiotherapy. The deadline for leg warmers is July 30.

UEG Trampoline in Slovenia and Croatia

UEG and the Slovenian Gymnastics Federation co-organised a well-attended workshop to promote Trampoline Gymnastics in the national territory. For this long term project, approved by the Executive Committee, the UEG Trampoline Technical Committee has prepared an intensive weekend of 20 hours of theoretical and practical sessions.

The participating coaches mainly came from other gymnastics disciplines and from Sports Sciences schools and universities. Up to 31 individuals joined the lectures developed by Martin Laws (GBR), Emma Suomalainen (FIN) and Miguel Vicente (ESP) during the weekend. Although most of the participants came from Slovenia, three coaches who represented Croatia also travelled to Ljubljana in order to get the applied knowledge to develop trampoline programmes also in their country.

How to Compete Better: Battle Anxiety

Read this excelent article about learning how to control your anxiety.

"Lately I have worked a lot of my technique and have found amazing improvements to my training. Now I have another problem, I am not a great competitor. So I have gone out and done some research to determine some methods in order to perform better under pressure.

 

Many athletes find it hard to focus their attention to the task at hand and find that they get “wrapped” up in the moment and negative thoughts overwhelm the individual. Anxiety comes from the feeling of nervousness that affects a person when they are threatened.

Olympic gold for Newman

BILLERICAY trampolinist Joshua Newman admitted he had to pinch himself after returning home from the Australian Youth Olympic Festival clutching gold.

 

The 14-year-old had to wait until the penultimate day of the Festival to get his adventure at Sydney's Olympic Park off the ground but it was a shaky start.

 

Newman looked on course for an individual medal only to fall off the trampoline in the final, meaning he finished off the podium in tenth.

 

But just hours later the Billericay School pupil was back in action, this time with compatriot Harry Newbold-Cozens in the synchronised event.

Gymnastics in the first European Games

Gymnastics will be part of the sports participating at the first European Games which will be held in Baku/AZE in 2015.

 

Based on the positive feedbacks of its member federations and after a lively discussion at the last meeting of its Executive Committee, the European Union of Gymnastics voted in favour of the integration of Gymnastics in the first edition of the European Games provided that all UEG conditions are accepted and that our Championships are included respecting the current technical formats.

 

At the end of a long campaign aiming to include the event in the international calendar, Baku was chosen the 8^th of December 2012 to host the inaugural European Games in 2015. This decision to hold the Games was taken at the 41^st European Olympic Committees (EOC) General Assembly, which was attended by 49 National Olympic Committees.

 

"I'm absolutely thrilled that so many years of slogging have now come to fruition," EOC President Patrick Hickey told concerning the games once the proposal to hold the event was approved with 38 votes in favour, eight against and two abstentions.

 

It brings Europe into line with other continents which already have continental competitions, such as the Asian Games and Pan American Games.

Australian Youth Olympic Festival - Final Results

As the Australian Youth Olympic Festival (AYOF) finishes in Sydney, the junior athletes could not have got a better experience on the road to Rio 2016.

Australian Olympic Committee President and International Olympic Committee Executive Board Member John Coates has praised the 2013 Australian Youth Olympic Festival (AYOF) contested in Sydney.

The AYOF, which originated as a legacy of Sydney 2000, was contested by 1700 athletes across 30 nations.

 

“I am extremely proud of the way the Australian athletes have been so welcoming of our guests,”Coates said.

 

“I am also very pleased with the spread of medals across the different countries. Athletes from the smaller nations will benefit greatly from the high standard of competition.”

 

Coates cited the “remarkable”seven-medal-haul by Combined Oceania in the weightlifting as an example of the AYOF’s multifaceted appeal.

 

“The competition has been intense but there is also a very good feeling amongst the athletes.”

Trampoline judges convene in Frankfurt

FIG Trampoline Gymnastics International Judges’ Course
Frankfurt (GER) 2013

FIG says in the official website that "Trampoline held its course, the last of the Intercontinental Judges’ Courses for FIG competitive disciplines targeting the 2013 – 2016 Olympic Cycle, in Frankfurt (GER) from January 15 – 20, 2013. Under the direction of Technical Committee President Horst Kunze (GER), and hosted by the German Gymnastics Federation (DTB) at the new premises of the DTB Gymacademy, the course exclusively targeted judges officiating at FIG international competitions, World Cups, World Championships, the Olympic Games as well as the World Games.

 

A total of 62 participants from 24 different federations representing all continents participated in this course. It is the only opportunity for judges to certify in the highest brevet category of four, Category 1. The course focused on the new 2013 – 2016 Code of Points that plays a determining part in shaping the development of the discipline over the upcoming four-year period. Major rule changes include the introduction of a second qualifying round at Trampoline World Championships and the evaluation of scores by the median mark of each single element.

This Intercontinental Course was the final event to be led by the 2009 - 2012 FIG Trampoline Technical Committee, marking the concluding function of the XIIth cycle of TC members before the Transfer of Powers ceremony in February. Course participants bid farewell to outgoing TC member Vladimir Zeman (CZE) and welcomed newly elected member Dmitri Poliarush (BLR), former representative for Trampoline at the FIG Athletes’ Commission".

AYOF - China bounces to trampoline glory

China has lived up to its powerhouse reputation by winning gold in both the women and men’s individual trampoline competitions at the Sydney Olympic Park Sports Centre on Saturday.

 

Yujie Jia began China’s medal grab by bouncing to success in the women’s event, scoring 151.360 points. Falling just behind was her teammate Jingjing Wen with 148.720, despite finishing with a strong final routine of 53.840. New Zealand’s Alexa Kennedy (141.515) rounded out the podium.

 

In the men’s event, Changxin Liu’s second routine pushed him through to gold with a score of 58.065, which was the highest individual routine score of the competition. Yet it was his final performance that sealed the deal, stealing gold off New Zealand’s Dylan Schmidt in the very last routine of the day. China’s Quan Zhou (152.205) joined them on the dais.

 

Schmidt, who recently won the 2012 Pacific Rim Championships, still managed to complete the highest scoring difficulty routine in his second and third performances, with 15.00 in both.

 

The 16-year-old admitted that he was disappointed with silver, after performing three consistently solid routines, finishing overall with 158.715.

AYOF - Great Britain and New Zealand jump for joy

Great Britain’s male gymnasts had a golden evening in the synchronised trampoline.

 

Unlike the format of the individual trampoline event, Harry Newbold-Cozens and Joshua Newman only had one opportunity to perform their winning routine, finishing with an impressive overall score of 45.400.

 

Their beautifully co-ordinated jumps and neatly handled landing resulted in a gold medal performance, beating the Australia Blue duo Aidan Collins and Dominic Clarke (44.100) and the Australia Green pair Joshua Ibrahim and Lachlan Banham (41.900) who recovered after falling out of unison mid-way through their routine.

 

Team GB proved to have strong support in the crowd, with the boys admitting the atmosphere of the Australian Youth Olympic Festival definitely helped them perform as well as they did.

 

“We had very good form today, and we can only get better,” Newbold-Cozens said.

 

The 14-year-olds believe their harmonisation is one of their greatest strengths despite Newman being on the shorter side of his partner admitting that he “hopes to grow a bit”.
