A Pure Gymnast’s Perspective on Owning Your Movement
Podcast by Misbah Haque, The Airborne Mind Show
Travis Ewart, Invictus Gymnastics Coach, joins us today for a pretty entertaining conversation. He is a USA Gymnastics Coaching professional who has worked with 4-year-olds all the way to top Games athletes. The perspective you’re about to hear is so unique because it’s coming from a pure gymnast.
It was a blast getting to understand his thought process around things like making body shapes, connection of speed, the debate around hollow body position, and so much more. If you want to prepare your body to handle high volume gymnastics and understand some programming principles for doing so, this episode is for you.
