There is always more to learn about a sport as complicated as gymnastics.  Most coaches learn something everyday from the athletes they teach, if they are open to such things. 

Those Who Do, Don’t Write (except for us)
There are other ways to learn about the sport.  One of the difficulties, however, about researching the sport is that the very ones who are at the vanguard of coaching are much too busy with actual coaching to write and publish what they are doing.  For the very latest in research, one must resort to other than traditional methods.

Thousands of Resources
 There are literally thousands of books, studies, papers, articles and dissertations about the sport of gymnastics.  We have compiled a list of and read over 1500.  These are available through normal academic channels at any major University.

Old Gymnast Magazines
 There are a treasure trove of back-dated articles from Madamesoille Gymnast, International Gymnast, Technique Magazine and USA Gymnast magazine.  Even if there have been new trends in skills and equipment, there are numerous idea inspiring articles available.
