Have you ever noticed the "say-do gap" in your gym environment? Ever wondered how bridging this gap could create a culture of trust and high performance? Our latest episode dives into the heart of gym culture, highlighting the importance of personal accountability, consistent communication, and operational guidelines. We stress the need for a transparent dialogue among all parties - coaches, parents, medical staff, and gymnasts - to ensure a safer environment where everyone is empowered to reach their goals.

Struggling with disagreements in the gym? Concrete rules and cultural guidelines can be your lifeline. We shed light on the significance of having operational handbooks and attendance policies that serve as an anchor during disputes. But it's not just about rules. A gym's culture, the shared values that act as a compass during challenging times, is just as vital. What's more, we share the golden 'rule of seven' that ensures safe skill competitions and the importance of systematic follow-through for building trust.

And that's not all! We're thrilled to announce the launch of our new resource book and workbook The Gymnastics Culture Cure! Packed with exercises and templates, these resources are your roadmap to a thriving gym culture. We're also offering an exclusive Q&A and lecture as a bonus, and a special discounted price during launch week. Let's work together to create a healthier, happier, and high-performing gym culture. Join us on this journey!
