Going backwards to move forwards!

It's a new season! That means new teams, new athletes, new goals and a new chance to get on the right track! With this new year comes an opportunity to evaluate your teams and make the changes that just never seem possible during the competition season.

Maybe it's time to finally focus on sharpening up your athlete's motions. For some teams it might be time to focus on hitting stunts AND performing...without exception. Synchronizing tumbling and adopting a unified approach is another way to increase your scores and leave a lasting impression. Or, maybe its time to tighten up your stunting technique? Is everyone doing the "little things" all together?

Too often, coaches look at the big picture - without considering the small stuff. Those small details set apart champions from competitors and in many cases are the difference between winning and/or hitting your routine to lack lustre results or efforts.

Now that a few months have past from Worlds, and Nationals maybe its time to watch last year's routine again - but from a different perspective. Where did your team succeed and where could they use some improvement? Take the off season to set the tone for competition season by turning your weaknesses into strengths! Your team will thank you for it!
