🔍 Setting the Record Straight on Gymnastics Safety The recent injury at the USA Gymnastics Core Hydration Classic is a painful reminder of the ongoing issues in gymnastics safety. It's not just an isolated incident – injuries like these are far too common and often go unaddressed, classified as "normal occurrences." But here's the truth: these injuries are preventable, and the technology to enhance safety exists. Our Weller Floor technology has been proven to reduce the risk of injury and improve performance. Despite this, many federations, including Fédération Internationale de Gymnastique (FIG), and suppliers continue to overlook these advancements. It's time for transparency and accountability. The gymnastics community deserves to know that the current standards are not enough. Athletes shouldn't have to accept unnecessary risks when better solutions are available. We've informed organizations like USA Gymnastics and major suppliers ABÉO SPIETH America Janssen Fritsen American Athletic, Inc about these deficiencies, yet without proper oversight and commitment to change, these preventable injuries will continue. Let's demand higher safety standards and push for the adoption of proven technologies that protect our athletes. Together, we can create a safer future for gymnastics. 🏅 #GymnasticsSafety #Transparency #Innovation #WellerFloor #USAG #ProtectOurAthletes #FutureOfSports

Recreational and Competitive Gymnastics, in general, demand a multifaceted approach that encompasses physical, technical, and psychological elements. The significance of proficient basics in gymnastics mirrors the intricate nature of mastering this sport. Neglecting key foundations for rushed progression can hinder athlete development and lead to stagnation. Investing in basics and foundations is not merely a step, but a fundamental necessity at every level. Just as any high level skill requires physical preparation, detailed body shaping, technique breakdown, a methodical approach, and a growth mindset, gymnastics as a whole calls for a similar level of dedication and attention to detail. By nurturing patience and emphasizing the importance of every detail, we can pave the way for organic athlete development and sustained progress. Let’s cultivate a culture that prioritizes strong fundamentals and holistic athlete development in gymnastics. Every aspect matters. #gymnastics #australia #queensland #athletedevelopment #fundamentals #coachingsuccess
