One Of The Best Coaching Books

Rookie Coaches Gymnastics Guide

This is a great guide for those just starting out! I found this book to be a very practical tool in preparation for my first coaching experience. There are excelent examples for class structuring and coaching techniques. It has probably the best illistrations of tumbling skills I've seen yet. The chapters are easy to read, flow smothly, and are independant enough from one another for skimming to the task at hand.
