Today is episode 150 of The Shift Show! A big thank you to all the listeners for your continued support. Who better to have on our 150 episode than my good friend, Nick Ruddock a high-performance consultant who has worked with over 22 nations around the world from club level all the way up to the Olympic level. In the gymnastics community right now there is a lot of people who are frustrated with the technical aspect of gymnastics and they feel as though the athletes they work with aren't making progress, that things aren't really working. Nick has been grateful enough to come on and share what he has learned from his experience working with high-performing clubs. Which he has broken down into 8 essential tips that any level coach across the world can use to get better technical performance of your gymnasts, making sure that you’re getting the most out of each practice and making progress.

We DISCUSS; How to increase the intensity of training and the work ethic of the athletes and coaches.

The importance of not rushing to fulfill gymnasts' long-term potential.

Why you should prioritize the simple things.

Those that learn the most, do the most in gymnastics.

Nick’s brand new must-have Gymnastics App!

Nick has just launched a ridiculously amazing, new Gymnastics Growth App with everything you could possibly need in one place, including an exercise library with floor drills, bar drills, and line drills.

This week on the podcast we discuss a very important topic, with my buddy Nick Ruddock, and mental health counselor Rebecca Grady, who was recently on the podcast. We touch an ‘elephant on the room topic’ that I think so many people in gymnastics are realizing is a huge problem and needs addressing. Which is; coach to coach relationships, staff gossip, and drama, which can really bring the vibe down in a gym. We talk about where these things stem from, whether they're related to coaching ego, personal conflicts, or if your gym just isn’t the best fit for your own morals. We review all the things that we've experienced, what we've gone through and offer people constructive solutions on what to do because we know this is a huge problem a lot of gyms face.

We DISCUSS; Nick and Becca’s experiences with not-so-great coaching teams and coaching dynamics, and what they thought were the root causes for them were.

WHY empathy, communication, and the ability to deal with problems, not in front of the athletes or parents and not on social media is so important. 

Nick SHARES HIS IDEAS on philosophy differences and how to compromise when someone thinks differently with how you should coach skills and drills, but also how you should run a gym. 

Having the RIGHT mindset, you don’t know what you don’t know.

A MENTAL HEALTH PERSPECTIVE on how to have harder conversations? They sound great but the idea is terrifying for so many coaches.

STRESS RESEARCH; how social connections or bonds can either be the biggest source of stress for some or it can be the biggest buffer of stress to be protective and build resilience.

WHY being part of a team isn’t trying to make people like each other, it’s about making people respect each other. 

ALSO…

WHY when you’re trying to find a gym to fit into, it is not a case of how good you are, it's about how compatible you are.
