Summer-Safe-Shape!

  Our gym is fantastic,our gymnasts are awesome and our staff sensational!!! We cannot  ask for more ! We are blessed with the best in Texas !!!

  So far we have a very busy and productive summer,we got weights and tumbling,grips and giants,over the pit vault and tsucks(the new vault).Please remember that safety is our priority and it comes with a lot of responsibility from our athletes.The more complex and complicated skills we attempt and learn,the more we ALL focus on the surroundings-landing mats,blocks,chuck,vault height,under the beam mats etc!We are proud to say that we did not have major injuries in our gym.

  Please be aware,listen to instructions and take initiative when coaches ask you to!!!

  Summer is for many the "I will take a break"period! And guess what,we agree with that,only if you remember we are no ordinary people,we are professionals(athletes).

  If you are one,don't let the time pass,be in a handstand before lunch,do your splits after each meal,swim some laps before you splash around,run for 10 min before you blame the heat!!!

  And please rest and sleep enough,we like you smiling when you come to gym!

  Have a safe and interesting rest of the summer!

  

What a Season !!!

  If you want to be the best,there is no time to rest,come and join Texas Best !!!
  We were all soooo proud of our gymnasts,for another prolific season,with bigger,stronger and unified teams.
  I will no longer talk about levels,in our gym I only recognize one level: The Hard Working Level.Every single gymnast got in this Season and made our name shine again.It was a blast to spend the time together,to learn and help and respect each other,to show who we are and what we do! Lots of 1ST places,many champions,bunch of medals and trophies and a great deal of intense and serious practice! Two Team State Champion titles!
  We are ready for summer and a fantastic new state-of-the-art gym is ready for us.We've been waiting a while,now the new adventure is about to begin.Our competitive group will welcome soon more members,we hand picked them looking forward to a bigger and stronger gymnastics family.We are always going to grow,our little Hot Shots babies are ready to join in,we have great kids coming from other places to be with us,we are busy and well organized and we expect our members to respect and promote our name.
  It is an honor for the coaches to work with this fantastic group of athletes but is a great privilege for each gymnast to be part of the team!
  Great job parents,athletes,coaches!

Elevator or not?

It's a reflex,as soon as you step into the mall,to look for the elevator or escalator.You don't see the stairs right close to you,circle around a while to find your way,get in line and wait to get up,realize your kids(friends)are missing!!! If you ask the coach,he'll say go up with the going down escalator!Challenge yourself!
 The convenient way to get somewhere is not always the shortest,smartest and easiest solution.In training and practice,convenient equals failure,and if you practice long term,you waist the most valuable thing: TIME.It isn't reversible,you need to handle and use with care and get the most out of it! Team up with yourself,coach,trainer,mate,and keep the practice simple: intense,challenging and fun.Time will fly by,but you will be a better athlete,ready to do it again.

Are you in a Great Shape ?

   More or less,all of us have a good attitude about being in shape.What is important to realize,admit,is that every person will "subscribe"to a standard and will work around it,setting up and reaching goals,making adjustments and looking for feedback,getting educated and informed!
  Lets set up a High Standard for our work out and for ourselves,it will give us respect,trust and confidence for what we do and more important,for who we are.You will always be in the best shape if you always "Do",never Wait,Postpone,Delay.
  I recommend the "supervisor",honest,straight forward,energizing.Coach,personal trainer,teammate,friend,you need someone to trust.The higher the level of your workout,the stronger the credentials of your supervisor! Find the right one and you will shape up in no time!!!

Walking,jogging,running,biking?

  By definition,the athlete is in a perpetual competition,with himself or others,trying to overpass and overcome limits and obstacles! There are many of those obstacles and always in the right spot for each individual,regardless the level or capacity.
  The "walking through biking" sequence represent you,the athlete,taking the right steps in becoming a complete,well trained and prepared for the next competition individual.
  Most important,"early wake ups",the earlier the better!Some do,on their own,some have the parents involved,others the coaches,few have role models.All together have the greatest advantage if they get guidance early in their carrier,if they get educated about the principles and the common sense that makes Sport Activities so fun and diverse.
  The challenge is the key to discover,recognize and guide the athlete,to make him believe,to get him to be one of the best in the field,to show him how to step down when it's time,to force him to raise the bar when needed,to cherish the moments with others!
  Lets all start walking,and if some are biking already,look for the hills and high peaks !
