Contents of this Gymnastics Drills and Conditioning
Book
These drills and
conditioning exercises will help speed the learning process and better prepare
the gymnast physically and mentally for skills, series, and routines. When
these drills are performed frequently and consistently the gymnast becomes
accustomed to performing the correct shapes and the correct sequence of muscle
contractions necessary for certain gymnastics skills. Even the best coach in
the world, Bela Karolyi, believes in using drills to teach and refine skills.
He reminded the coaches to continue implementing drills on a daily basis
during coaches meetings at his Camp. (Karen
Goeller, the author, was among those coaches and was his first female camp
director.)
Every gymnast must master
the skills addressed in this drills and conditioning book.
The topics include Running, Vaulting, Dance, Uneven Bars, and Press Handstand.
In the bars section there are drills for the glide kip, cast handstand, and
clear hip circles while in the dance section there are drills and conditioning
for split leaps and the hip flexor muscles to help with the straddle jump and
glides on uneven bars.
The best
way to
ensure your gymnast's safety is to
condition their body and mind
to perform each movement involved in the skill and then condition them to
perform the entire skill without interruption. These drills and conditioning
exercises help the coach and gymnast through the transition into new and
exciting skills. They were used to produce several successful gymnasts,
including NY State Champions, Empire State Games Competitors, National TOPS
Team Athletes, College Gymnasts, and National Champions among other successful
athletes.
Karen
Goeller is the
author of more gymnastics
books than anyone in the
USA,
ever.
She has helped educate thousands of coaches, athletes, and fitness
professionals worldwide through her gymnastics and fitness books, gymnastics
articles, by coaching gymnastics in person, and by helping fitness
clients. This author has spent thousands of hours and 30 years coaching,
making it her life. She has seen and worked with the best, including Bela and
Martha Karolyi. It is the shared opinion of many highly respected and
experienced coaches that
using drills and conditioning in training are
much safer and more efficient
than other training programs. She considers it a privilege to have worked at
Karolyi's Camp, for seven summers, USGTC, and International Gymnastics Camp
for a decade of Holiday Clinics.
Although
these drills and conditioning exercises have proven challenging to gymnasts of
all levels, they are most useful to developing gymnasts. These drills are also
very useful to those gymnasts of higher levels with gaps in their training.
Many higher level gymnasts have specific needs, such as the need to retrain
basic skills or increase specific skill strength and flexibility.
Offer
your gymnasts a
well rounded and proven training system
with the drills and conditioning exercises in this book. And be sure to use
the drills and conditioning exercises in an appropriate way for the best
results. For example, use cast handstand drills while on bars and dance drills
while warming up balance beam or on floor exercise.
