Masterclass Recordings
For gymnastics coaches from all corners of the world to access top notch gymnastics content online
Nick here!
You may have noticed that over the last few months, I've co-delivered 4 Masterclass clinics across 4 topics, all designed to up-skill the gymnastics community by giving coaches the chance to expand their knowledge learning from industry experts.
It's fair to say they've been a massive hit, and they are contributing to my mission of providing top notch educational opportunities to the gymnastics community, irrespective of experience, qualification, age etc.
But there is still one issue.
Location.
Whilst the Masterclasses are typically held in an accessible part of the UK for ease of access, I appreciate that a vast number of coaches within my community are overseas, or they may have prior commitments such as competitions or training camps, preventing them from attending these events on the day.
It's essential to me that my content is accessible all over the world, to coaches in all corners of the gymnastics community, and for that reason, you'll be pleased to know that each one of the Masterclass clinics has been recorded and is being edited ready for you to consume from the comfort of your home (or gym!)
"Absolutely great day, very useful and thought provoking as to how we can apply this knowledge to our gym and our practice"

With one final Masterclass taking place December 15th (Bars!), I'm packaging together these 5 Masterclass recordings to make an impressive 'Masterclass Bundle' which will provide hours worth of lifetime access content to help accelerate your coaching and gymnasts abilities.
Below you'll find out more information about these recordings, including what you can expect to learn ...

Who are the Masterclasses aimed at?
With 'growth mindset' being the only eligibility requirement to attend these Masterclasses, it's fair to say we had a wide range of experience in the room for all these events. The content was delivered specifically to the WAG community, for coaches wishing to develop athletes on a high performance pathway. The content is ideal for emerging/intermediate coaches who are looking to increase their technical knowledge.
"From someone who was completely new to the concept of choreography and how to implement this to a floor routine, I felt I fully understood the process by the end of the day."
