Jen Pinches and I Discuss Gymnastics Changes That Must Happen for Meaningful Progress in Our Sport

Following the release of our very popular short film a Call For Change, sparked honestly one of my favourite conversations I've ever had on a podcast. With my good friends from Power Monkey Fitness, a company that I've kind of been working for the last five years. Dave Duranty a 2008 Olympian for Team USA for gymnastics, and Chad Vaughn two time Olympian for Team USA for weightlifting. And GB Olympian Jennifer Pinches, who you guys may have heard an episode on earlier this year with Claire Halford. 

We discuss WHAT is going on in the gymnastics world that we need to change?

WHAT are the critical issues that people are facing from the from the coaching point of view, the parent point of view, and also the administration point of view?

The reasons WHY gymnastics in particular, is more susceptible to abuse? 

WHAT a positive coach does differently.

WHEN is showing tough love important for the development of the athlete? 

HOW are the parents handling these issues of abuse? What are they going through?

We SHARE solutions and the next step we believe need to happen.

ALSO…

Is it POSSIBLE for female gymnast to peak at age 24 instead of age 16?
