Most gymnastics books focus on competitive elite athletes. Almost none address the specific needs of junior recreational and development gymnasts, their coaches, and the parents trying to support them safely. Gymnastics to Succeed fills that gap - 30 chapters and 7 appendixes covering every aspect of junior gymnastics, from first rolls and handstands through to competition preparation, mental skills, injury prevention, and building a lifelong love of the sport.
- Foundations of Gymnastics - how gymnastics develops the whole athlete, the four WAG apparatus, starting out, safety and supervision
- Fundamental Skills - floor skills (rolls, handstands, walkovers, round-offs, back handsprings), balance beam, uneven bars, vault - step-by-step progressions
- Physical Development - flexibility safely, strength and conditioning for gymnasts, body composition, growth and development, injury prevention
- Mental Skills and Competition - mental preparation, fear management, competition day routines, dealing with judging and results, performing under pressure
- Coaching and Parenting - what great gymnastics coaching looks like, the role of parents, club selection, safeguarding, RED-S and health red flags
- Pathways and Development - British Gymnastics grades and pathways, skill progression ladders, long-term athletic development, life after gymnastics
Includes Appendix F: British Gymnastics Grade Requirements and Coaching Reference - recreational and development grade frameworks, apparatus skill ladders, spotting guide, and key deductions reference. Plus Appendix G: Home Practice Safety Guide, Skills Tracker and Competition Diary - what can and cannot safely be practised at home, a WAG skill progress tracker, and competition diary templates.
30 chapters. Every gymnastics question answered. The only guide written for the junior gymnast, the coach, and the parent.
