The USA had a strong showing at the 2010 World Trampoline and Tumbling Championships, qualifying eight athletes into five finals. Austin White of Newport Coast, Calif., won a silver medal for men’s double mini-trampoline. The competition took place in Metz, France, Nov. 12-14. Austin White, 22, of World Elite Gymnastics, earned a 35.000 for his first routine, which had an error on his landing, but came back with a very strong second pass to post a 38.000 for a 73.000. Portugal’s Andre Lico just edged out White by 0.400 for the gold. The bronze went to Russia’s Evgeny Chernoivanov at 72.700. The USA’s Alex Renkert of Indianapolis, Ind./Interactive Academy, came in fourth with a 72.100.

“(Winning a medal) was incredible,” said White. “It’s been a goal of mine for almost five years now.

I am super excited and proud to bring home a medal for the USA.” Yuliya Hall of Pocatello, Idaho, and Karly Judkins of Tulsa, Okla., finished fourth and seventh place, respectively, in the women’s tumbling final.

USA Gymnastics’ Talent Opportunity Program (TOPs) is in its 19th season and is still going strong. Fifty-four athletes participated in the three-day National TOPs Team Camp at the Women’s National Team Training Center, held at the Karolyi Ranch in Huntsville, Texas, Dec. 1-5. An additional 58 athletes participated in the TOPs B Camp, Dec. 5-9. For the first time in the program’s history, 8-year-old gymnasts participated in the training camps with tremendous success. The athletes were instructed in all four Olympic events and dance by the National Team Developmental Coaching staff. Lectures were also given by the staff to the coaches on training techniques. During the months of June and July, 2,800 gymnasts ages 7-11 were evaluated on physical abilities at the state level. From there the top 7 year olds were named

to the Diamond Level team. The best 280 8-11 year old athletes were invited to participate in the National TOPs Testing in October, where they were evaluated on the same physical abilities tests and basic gymnastics skills. From National TOPs Testing, 54 athletes were named to the TOPs National Team and invited to participate in the National TOPs Training Camp in December. Former TOPs athletes include Carly Patterson, Chellsie Memmel, Courtney Kupets, Tasha Schwikert, Alicia Sacramone and Samantha Peszek, just to name a few. Gary Warren, the USA Gymnastics Elite Program Director who oversees the TOPs program, said, “The training camps were, without a doubt, the most productive camps in our 19 years of existence and the inclusion of the 8-year-old athletes was a tremendous success.”

Future Stars National Championships

The 14th Future Stars National Championships was held at the United States Olympic Training Center, Nov. 5, and featured the USA’s best 10-, 11- 12-, and 13-year-olds in the United States who perform

special Future Stars competitive routines. Based on the results at the championships, USA Gymnastics identified the Future Stars Developmental Team, which includes the top 18 gymnasts in both the 10- and 11-year-old divisions, 14 gymnasts in the 12-year-old division, and the top six gymnasts in the 13-year-old division. The top nine athletes in the 10- and 11-year-old divisions, the top seven athletes in the 12-year-old division, and top three athletes in the 13-year-old division will be invited to a special Future Stars camp to be held at the USOTC in the summer of 2011. The Future Stars National Championships are held in conjunction with the National Coaches Workshop, the premier educational event for the men’s program. In addition

to the competition, Future Stars athletes and their parents participated in workshop activities that feature lectures, technical presentations, and hands-on coaching sessions. Presenters include Junior National Coaching Staff members, National Team coaches, sports science personnel, USOC staff and special guests. The Future Stars program is designed to identify talented athletes and to get them started on the right developmental path to national and international success. The program uses a special competitive routine format to evaluate the skill, strength and flexibility development of the athlete. The top all-arounders in each of four age divisions, 10-, 11-, 12-, and 13-year-old, were recognized. Dillan King of Arete Gymnastics, Davis Grooms of Champion Gymnastics Academy, Favian Valdez of Orlando Metro, Cory McFann of Hocking Valley Gymnastics, and Grant Breckenridge of Buffalo Grove each had the highest all-around totals in their respective divisions.

Since 2001, gymnastics clubs across the country have raised more than $1.3 million for Children’s Miracle Network. This year, gym clubs and their members raised nearly $116,000 as part of their celebrations for National Gymnastics Day through open

house events and the Tyson Fitness Challenge, a joint initiative of USA Gymnastics and Tyson Foods that helps kids become more physically active through fun activities. The monies raised are distributed to each gym club’s local Children’s Miracle Network hospital, which helps children around the country who are fighting illness. For the fourth consecutive year, the top fundraising club is Gymnastics World, Inc. of Broadview Heights, Ohio, which raised $26,925 for Children’s Miracle Network this year. The club’s efforts again were led by Abby Villenauve, the individual fund-raising winner for the last two years who brought in $9,630 of this year’s total. The top three clubs and individual participants receive prizes from AAI, Tyson and USA Gymnastics.

Gymnastics community’s total donations to Children’s Miracle Network exceed $1.3M Network exceed $1.3M Network exceed $1.3M

Abby Villenauve

Northern Elite

The top three individuals shared with us how they raised funds for such a great cause. Here’s what they had to say.

#1 Abby Villenauve, 13, of Broadview Heights, Ohio, and Gymnastics World, raised $9,630. Abby was also the top fundraiser in 2009, raising $7,250 for Children’s Miracle Network.

USA Gymnastics: Last year you were a top fundraiser. What motivates you each year to continue to “raise the bar” with fundraising?Abby: Each year I have achieved a little more than my goal. So, each year we decide how much to raise the goal for the next year. I know that every penny I raise will go to Rainbow Babies and I like helping kids less fortunate.

USA Gymnastics: Who did you ask to help raise money? Abby: My mom, sister Sammy and I did a raffle for a gift card at our grocery store, which raised almost $500. I sent emails to my friends, family and people my dad works with. We kept updating the website and our Facebook page with new information to keep everyone informed of how we were doing.

USA Gymnastics: If you could summarize, in one sentence, the best part about this event, what would you tell other athletes?Abby: The best part of the event was when “Anonymous” donated exactly the amount we needed to help us reach the $10,000 goal. We didn’t reach our “goal” until after the deadline, but it was great we did it.

USA Gymnastics: What would you tell other athletes who may want to get involved? Abby: You have to believe that a little donation can make a big difference.

#2 Mary Kate Cacchione, 14, of Flanders, N.J., and Northern Elite, raised $7,445. Mary Kate was also a top fundraiser in 2009, raising $6,050 for Children’s Miracle Network.

USA Gymnastics: Last year you were also a top fundraiser. What motivates you to continue to “raise the bar” with fundraising?Mary Kate: I started raising money for Children’s Miracle Network after visiting the Children’s Specialized Hospital more than three years ago. Now I feel like CMN is a part of me. Each year I set out to do the best I can for the kids in need, and it seems like my friends and family do the best they can for me.

USA Gymnastics: Who did you ask to help raise money? Mary Kate: I asked everyone I knew in person, through email, and phone calls. My friend, Alana, made a video to promote our benefit show, “Miracles,” and we sent it out via Facebook and posted it on our gym’s website.

USA Gymnastics: If you could summarize, in one sentence, the best part about this event, what would you tell other athletes?Mary Kate: The best part for me has to be “Miracles,” our benefit show to raise money; our whole gym is a part of this amazing experience. We are totally connected as a team for something so much bigger than us. It makes us who we are, Northern Elite, an amazing community!

#3 Emma Timblin, 12, of Oxford, N.J., and Northern Elite, raised $4,428. Emma was also a top fundraiser in 2009, raising $4,840 for Children’s Miracle Network.

USA Gymnastics: Last year you were a top fundraiser. What motivates you each year to continue to “raise the bar” with fundraising? Emma: Several years ago my sister needed brain surgery and it was a really scary time for my family. It made me think about what it is like to have something terrible happen to you, your family members or friends. Since then, my sister has made a full recovery, but there are many other families that aren’t as lucky and really need the support. I think this is an excellent cause for children and families of all ages to help others.

USA Gymnastics: Who did you ask to help raise money? Emma: I asked neighbors, family members and friends, both by email and in person going door-to-door, explaining about my past fundraising efforts and what Children’s Miracle Network offers.

USA Gymnastics: If you could summarize, in one sentence, the best part about this event, what would you tell other athletes? Emma: It’s hard to summarize because this is such a great experience. You feel like you have become a better person inside and out. You have the opportunity to give something from your heart to children and families, which makes you feel like you’ve done a great thing. This is something I will never forget.

Four Key Habits a Gymnast Needs to avoid Injuries

Photo

by Jo

hn Cheng

1) Nutritional Preparation You can’t drive to the gym if your car is out of gas, and you cannot perform at your best without putting fuel in your body. Make sure you eat three balanced meals per day. Adding pre-and post-workout snacks will provide the extra fuel needed for optimal performance and help your body recover from intense training. Consult a registered dietitian for performance-based nutritional information.

2) Mental Preparation When discussing injury prevention with coaches, I often hear them say that injuries happen more from a lack of concentration than from an inability to perform a skill. It is imperative that you as a gymnast work on mental focus. Upon arriving at the gym, you need to remove all the distractions of the day and focus on your training. When focus is lost, mistakes are made and injuries can happen.

3) Physical Preparation One of my favorite quotes is by John Wooden, “Don’t mistake activity for achievement.” That is what many gymnasts do with their physical preparation. Warm-up and conditioning become a social activity, but your body doesn’t achieve much. Athletes need to focus on their specific physical imbalances. Where are you weak or inflexible? What exercises are you good at and which ones do you struggle with? It is normal to work at the things you are good at and avoid the ones that are difficult. This promotes further imbalances and can lead to injury. When working on your warm-up and conditioning, you should emphasize the quality of movement, not the quantity. Poor form in your preparation will lead to poor form in your skills.

4) Communication Open communication between gymnast, parent and coach is a habit that needs to be improved. Many injuries could be avoided if you would tell your parent/coach that you are hurting or are having difficulty concentrating on a skill. I am not saying you should complain every time something is sore or difficult, but you should not be afraid to communicate issues that may increase your chance of injury.

Working on these habits can seem mundane and sometimes difficult, but mastering them can make a huge difference in your performance. Remember another famous, anonymous quote: “The pain of discipline is never as great as the pain of regret.”

As the gymnast’s season begins, the demands on his/her body increases. Coaches spend extensive time teaching skills and implementing conditioning programs to prevent injuries. But aches and pains and even injuries still

can occur. Many times, these aches/pains and even injuries can be decreased or avoided if each gymnast developed four basic habits to prepare himself/herself for the rigors of the season. These four habits are not new and I am sure they are discussed frequently in most gyms. When an athlete takes a personal responsibility to implement these four habits, the effectiveness increases substantially!
