Do it again !

     
    Sport,school,job,life,they all interconnect and have something in common: the engine to put everything in motion,the Training.We all know,and learn,and study,and teach others about it,we follow ideas,philosophies,studies and models.
    The Training give us the power to get better in everything,it can be very simple or incredible complex and has one ordinary concept at the base: the Repetition-in sport I will call it "do it again".An old Latin dicton says "Repetitio mater studiorum est"-The repetition is the mother of learning!
    What always sets apart the individuals and also the teams is the quality of training.The coach will say do it again... but what comes right after this words will make the difference.
    I always find a way to give the athlete some feedback:a good word,a correction,a drill to do,a warning sign,or just a look! And in respect for training I expect my gymnasts to pay attention.When they do,my job is easy and we get there in no time,when they don't and start going in circle I have to push and get them back.
   Every coach has a formula for success in training,something like "try,do,repeat,adjust,do it again,stop,start over".I have my own secret formula and only share with my athletes !!!
   The respect we build in the relationship coach-athlete is crucial in training and has a great impact on the long run-high level,national competitions,injury prevention,endurance training.I do my training along with my gymnasts and learn every day a little from everyone,and make adjustments to my methods,so when it comes to "do it again",we are all going to do better.
