How to Have Your Best Competitive Gymnastics Season Part 4

Today on the podcast we are wrapping up our epic four-part series on optimizing the competitive year.

We started with the foundational base needed, then went onto the Preseason and discussed how to get athletes ready, followed by the demands and strategies needed in the In-Season last week, and now we’re going to wrap things up with what you should be doing in the Off-Season.

At the end of the year, we have a bit of downtime, an offseason to work on new skills, getting stronger, faster and getting kids emotionally and mentally ready to handle some of the things coming up in the following year.

I discuss how to plan for each of these, to get the most out of each training session, and set athletes up for a successful year ahead.
