Gymnastics Coaching System

 Written Goals
 Hallmarks of a good systematic approach include long and short-range written goals, a long-range written training plan, written daily goals and lesson plans, close coaching.

Continuous Improvement
 The fact that we recommend a systematic approach does not mean that we believe that everything is set in stone.  Systems can always be improved and new ideas and new technologies regularly appear.  The difference is that these need to be integrated into the training system to allow continued consistent progress.

See the Long-Term View
 One of the easiest ways to train consistently is to maintain a long-term view of the goals of your program and not react to the various short-term distractions like upcoming invitational meets with little long-term strategic importance. 

Peak for the Improtant Competitions
 For each gymnast there will most likely be only one or two important meets in each year.  Which meets depends on what level they are currently competing at.  For level 10's for example, Nationals is the only really important meet (States and Regionals are really just qualifying meets, however good success at them may look on your gymnastics resume).  Every other meet during the year is simply training preparation and/or another experience in learning how to compete by competing.

Develop Your System
 So for coaching and competition success, develop your training system and keep with it.
