The "Rookie Coaches Gymnastics Guide" provides a combination of coaching advice and gymnastics information for the novice gymnastics coach. This concise book presents the basic principles of coaching and shows coaches how to teach gymnastics skills to girls and boys. Developed by the American Coaching Effectiveness Program (America's premier coaching education program) in co-operation with the United States Gymnastics Federation, the Rookie Coaches Gymnastics Guide is devoted to giving developing youth coaches the general coaching and specific sport information they need to be successful. This book teaches coaches the major responsibilities of a coach, the tools for effective coaching, the communication skills necessary for coaching young gymnasts, planning and teaching skills, the basics for injury prevention and care, and liability concerns. In addition, the book gives coaches essential gymnastics information, including an overview of the sport; descriptions for 55 body positions, skills, and terms; self-tests and checklists for gauging knowledge; extensive illustrations of basic skills; the part-whole method of teaching gymnastics skills; sample lesson plans; and warm-up stretches. The book also presents six lessons that feature a floor plan for apparatus, time allotments for each skill, illustrations of proper techniques, and safety and teaching tips. Lessons cover topics such as balance, moving backward, strength development, co-ordination, flexibility, and muscular endurance. By combining the fundamentals of coaching and gymnastics in one resource, the Rookie Coaches Gymnastics Guide provides all the basic information novice gymnastics coaches and instructors need to make their coaching experience safe, successful, and enjoyable.
