Tumbling and Mental Blocks

Many athletes are now experiencing problems with their tumbling.  It is not an uncommon problem  due to the high number of athletes tumbling around the country. Because of those numbers,  it has become a well published  issue.  We use a variety of techniques, much like the following listings, and have had success with many of them.  below are links that may help you and your athlete understand they are not alone, and how to approach the problem.  At GTCO we use a variety of training techniques, floorings, drills and instuctors to help the athlete through the issue.  Thank you to Kirsten who provided these links, which are having good results for her daughter.  Good luck to those of you working on this issue.  Remember…patience and optimism will go a long way to you recapturing your skills, plus you are not alone.  http://boards.varsity.com/index.php?topic=95.0 http://boards.varsity.com/index.php/topic,2393.0.html http://en.allexperts.com/q/Gymnastics-2245/2008/1/Mental-block-roundoff-backhandspring.htm http://www.gymnasticsmedia.com/Blogs/SplitLeap/tabid/306/EntryId/95/Mental-block.aspx http://www.britannica.com/bps/additionalcontent/18/36365444/Getting-over-it http://www.gymnastike.org/videos/coverage/view_video/234095-mental-edge-mondays/98681-mental-block-breakthroughs

News: Tumbling

Its tumble time!

It's tumble time!

Allan, AmiBeth, Lindsay, Steve, Jake, and Jenny are excited about another session of tumbling and the fun of teaching you and your child bring to us.   Our classes are designed for the beginner to the Advanced with special” clinic” dates to zero in on a specific skill.  Whether it is a cartwheel or a double full, the thrill of achieving your goal is our priority.   Tumbling at GTCO is a great compliment to any other activity you may do.  The balance strength and co-ordination achieved through the class is easily transferred to other athletic endeavors.  Cheer, Dance, Diving, Soccer and a host of other sports can be positively impacted from a tumbling class at GTCO.  We are currently looking for “extreme sports” enthusiasts to share our tumbling knowledge with, if you know one…..send them our way.  We also welcome cheer squads to come together, with or without a GTCO instructor. You can contact us at 937-746-2213, email GTCOINC@aol.com or stop by the front desk and leave a note for Allan for more info.
