Helping Parents & Coaches Navigate Competitive Gymnastics Together

Today on the podcast is my good friend and crowd favorite Eva Shute Director of Gymnastics Operations who provides awesome information to help parents wrap their heads around competitive gymnastics.

We share ideas and things we have done in our gym that have been extremely successful to help build better parent communication relationships and when someone's really having a tough time or there may be a nightmare parent or coach, we explain what have we done practically to successfully fix these things.

I really believe that this parent episode is super important to get better long-term outcomes for everyone's happiness the coaches, the parents, and most importantly the gymnasts.

We DISCUSS; how to navigate the culture and the craziness that is competitive gymnastics.

My daughter is 5 years old why does she need to compete?

The time commitment, what can parents expect?

Why moving up gymnastics levels is not like moving up a grade in school.

Three do's and don'ts of meet etiquette.

The difference between optional and compulsory levels.

And…

How puberty affects gymnasts in their optional years of training and competing and what parents can do to help support.

The Gymnastics Parents Episode: Handling Conflicts, Realistic Expectations, and Setting Boundaries

Parent coach relationships are super challenging.

A highly requested episode from the Shift community when I asked what people are struggling with. I got together a great panel of people in this realm: Chelcie who was a Devision 2 Gymnast and her mum Dianna from the Routine Podcast and Eva Shute who runs four gyms which over the last eight years we have been rebuilding the culture together.

We discuss the FALSE time line in gymnastics.

How many decisions have you made without asking ENOUGH questions?

The difference between a HELICOPTER PARENT and the rightly so involved parent.

The CONCEPT of unrealistic goals and sharing goals so that everyone is on the same page

ALSO…

Realising that it’s about what the ATHLETE wants.
