Robert V. Colarossi President of

USA Gymnastics

The competition season for the elite athletes is in full swing. Perhaps you've caught the Visa American Cup Series on NBC Sports. The Visa American Cup Series

for men's and women's gymnastics is comprised of three events including the RCA Gymnastics Challenge which took place Jan. 14 in Las Vegas, Nev., the Aussie Haircare Gynmastics Invitational which took place Jan. 29 in St. Petersburg, Fla., and of course the final event, the Visa

American Cup, which takes place in Orlando, Feb. 26. From the first two events, athletes qualified to compete in the Visa American Cup and the finals will determine the 2000 Visa American Cup Champion.

NBC Sports did a great job of showcasing the first two events. The RCA Gymnastics Challenge was a success with Morgan White and Jay Thornton being the top two gynmasts from the U.S. and also with the return of 1996 Olympic Medalist Amy Chow to the competition floor. Tasha Schwikert, Steve McCain and Brett McClure all gained valuable international experience.

Th e Aussie Haircare Gymnastics Invitational showcased Elise Ray, who won the all-around title, as well as two-time Olympian John Roethlisberger who took third all-around and was the top U.S. male gynmast. 1996 Olympian John Macready and Schwikert both did a good job representing the USA at this international event.

The Rhythmic--Challenge, Trampoline and Tumbling Winter Classic, the Men's Winter Cup and the Women's Olympic Preparation Camp are all highlighted in this issue. The USA athletes continue to work hard and show progress in their training leading up to the Olympic Games scheduled for September 16-0ctober 1 in Sydney, Australia.

The Junior Olympic competitive season is now in full swing as well. I

Jeff LaFleur Irom LaFleur's Gymnastics in Tampa accepts on award Irom USA Gymnastics President Bob (olarassi lor his dub selling the most tickets to the Aussie Haircare Gymnastics Invitational. Thank you to LaFleur's Gymnastics and all the dubs who participated in the ticket sales contest.

hope things are going well in competitions all across the country. This is a good time to go back and review what your goals were for this year. Now is the time to focus on those goals, and to fully commit yourself to achieving them. Whether you are a first year competitor or plaJuLing to compete in the national championships, your attitude and work ethic in the gym will determine your level of success.

And lastly, in an effort to continue to provide adequate resources we have published an updated list of the National Health Care and Sport Science Referral Network. This network is comprised of health care practitioners with proven experience working with athletes. These professionals have met the crileria in their field set by the National Sport Science and health Care Board of ConsultaJ1ts and have expressed an interest in parh1ering with local gynmastics programs to provide health care services for athletes.

I know you will enjoy this issue of USA Gymnastics and good luck with all of the upcoming competitions. Wakh for coverage of the Visa American Cup in the next issue!

In the last segment of this series, wrote about how Mental Choreography can help you deal with fear in the gym. This article will help you work with negative thoughts that come into your head when you least expect them! Think about learning a new skill. What happens when you have loose body position? The skill is inconsistent, right? It is performed poorly and extremely hard to learn. It is the same with your mind. When your mind is "loose" negative thoughts "sneak" in causing fear and balking. Mental Choreography is one way to tighten up your mind, keeping it focused on what needs to happen instead of what you are afraid MIGHT happen. This article will teach you another exercise to overcome fear it's called the "Two-Minute Tum-Around."

WHAT YOU THINK IS WHAT YOU 00.

We all know that thoughts create feelings and actions, right? Positive thinking creates positive actions, and negative thinking creates negative actions.

The Two-Minute Turn-ArOlmd

helps you practice changing negative thinking as if you-

w ere changing a

channel on TV. This takes

practice, so it is very

important you are patient with

yourself. Being able to change negative thinking to positive is like a muscle. It needs to be worked and conditioned to gain strength.

Doing a push-up one time does not make you strong. It is the same with mental exercises, they need to be practiced so your "mental muscles" become strong too.

IDENTIFYING YOUR BEAST AND BEAST THOUGHTS

"Alison, What are Beast thoughts" you ask? (Good question)

The Beast is the voice inside your head that beats you up. It tells you "J have to pelfonn exceptionally to be OK." "You'll never be as good as you were last season." "You're fat ." " J am nothing unless J live up to what others expect of me." The Beast is merciless and most of the time leaves you discouraged and depressed. It is not helpful to you. This is the main difference between the Beast and other parts of you that help with motivation and evaluating performance. The Beast just beats you up while other

BEATING THE FEAR

BEASI

parts of you help with motivation. A thought like, "J know J can do better" is motivating, while "Everyone was watching and you blew it like usual" is self-defeating. That is your Beast and Beast thoughts. As I mentioned above, the Beast is fueled by unrealistic expectations put upon you by yourself or others. It can also echo things you are afraid someone might say, making your greatest fears come true! Some Beastly messages are impOSSible like, " J need to be perfect all the time." It' s im~ant to . be aware of messages you tell yourself that come from the Beast. These messages are barely ever the truth. The Beast keeps you down and stands in between you and your goals. It is important to realize that everyone has a Beast. Your parents have negative Beast thoughts, even your coaches have Beasts and Beast thoughts! Beating your Beast thoughts and thinking positive is a life-long process. And Beast thoughts aren't simply in gymnastics. Many people have math Beasts, public speaking Beasts, and Beasts that come out when you are mad at a friend. So, it's important to remember the two-minute tum-around as a skill you can use your entire life!

WHO CAN BEAT UP MY BEAST AND BEAST THOUGHTS?

The part of you that beats up your Beast is something I call your Vision. Your Vision is the ideal picture of the gymnast you want to be. She has all the qualities you admire in

By Alison Arnold, Ph.D., C.P.C Member of the USA Gymnastics Health Care

and Sport Science ReFerral Network

Ever have those days where you just feel like crud?

Where every thought is negative and you feel like crawlin-g- uncie-r a smelly gym mat and hiding?

other gymnasts and people you respect in your life. She is every positive thought you can thing of. She is your ideal performance state. Imagine yourself feeling totally confident, aggressive, graceful, relaxed, and fearless. Imagine you are in "the zone," whatever that is like for you. This is your Vision. When you are firmly grounded in your Vision, nothing can throw you off. Not even negative Beast thoughts. Your Vision is all-powerful. She can tell off the Beast, ignore the Beast, laugh at the Beast, and beat up the Beast. Even when the Beast is roaring its loudest, your Vision can help you say "Go ahead, I've heard this before. This is an old tape ... and it's boring," or "J know this isn't tnle ... J know what the truth is." Your Vision is Your Truth. She cannot be pushed down and can beat any Beast thought.

Positive thinking creates positive actions, and negative thinking creates negative actions.

A notional team group made up of Bren McClure, Morgan Hamm, Todd Thornton, Michael Evans, Adam Pummer ond Stephen Gaudeije traveled to Ukraine, Dec. 5-15, 1999, to train with the Ukrainian National Team and compete at the Korbochinsky-Mitustin Chompionships. This was a difficult, but very successful trip for the U.S. team. It was difficult mainly due to the amount and type of travel required and the competition situotion. The team arrived and trained in Kiev at the Ukraine Olympic Complex for the ~rst four days. Then there was an 18~ hour train ride from Kiev to Lugansk for the compeMion. The meet itself featured three sessions over two days. The ~rst session was an oil-around session consisting of ages 15 and under. The second session was a team competition for athletes age 16 and over and featured a four man team with three scores counting. The third session was held on the second day of competition

and featured individual event finals. The porticipoting countries were Russia, Poland, Ukraine and the United States. Because of the meet formot, Ukraine used virtuolly their entire national team spliijing them into three seporate teams. Russia and Poland sent strong teams made up of senior team members. The competition equipment and maning proved to be 0 challenge for all the teams. The competition itself was well run and anended with on enthusiastic crowd. Even U.S. teom competitors were 18 yeors our team very well in the competition finishing second as a team behind Russia. Breij McClure won the all-around and Morgan Hamm finished in a threewoy tie for third (although the official results place him in fifth due to individual event scores). Breij also managed to win Aoor and high bar, place second on vault and third at pommel horse in the individual event finals. Morgan finished in third place at Aoor. Other u.s. placements in Individual Event Finals were:

POMMEL HORSE Morgan Hamm 6th, Michael Evans 7th STILL RINGS Breij McClure 6th PARALLEL BARS Breij McClure 5th, Todd Thornton 6th,

Morgan Hamm 7th

56.575 56.425 56.200 52.800 50.950

Our younger age group athletes, Adam and Steven, also did well with Adam finishing in fifth place in the all-around and Steven finishing in 10th. No individual event scores were kept for the younger age group as they were also eligible for event finals. The coaches, Vitaly Marinitch and Joe Stallone did a great job of managing the team and keeping the guys focused given the difficult situations this competition presented. Also, Rigo Carbahal (the trainer for our 1996 men's Olympic Team) accompanied the team and was a valuoble asset keeping everyone healthy and in good physical condition throughout the trip. This competition turned out to be everything that it was supposed to be-o very high level meet, under difficult conditions, meant to challenge ond educate our athletes. The gymnasts came well prepared, responded very well to every situation, took everything in stride and impressed everyone at the competition with their level of competence.

Twenty-seven National Team members, current and former, participated in four days of intense and serious training. Bela and Martha directed the camp and placed their entire complex (which has to be seen to be believed) at the disposal of USA Gymnastics. The facility and the attitudes of the participants were ideal. Gymnasts, coaches, national staff, and administrators were completely immersed in gymnastics for four full days.

The camp began with meetings of the National Staff, Bela and Martha, and USA Gymnastics the evening before the athletes arrived. From the first meeting it was clear that everyone was not only on the same page, but quoting each other's line and verse. Bela proved again that he is the master of motivation, commitment, and world-level aspirations. Bela has enough extra energy to light a small New England town. Martha demonstrated her unflinching focus on the tasks at hand, keeping everyone's attention on the big tasks. Her attention to detail forced everyone's thinking to converge as she made sure that we did not get lost in trivial detail and miss getting the big things right. Although it was astonishing how much discussion took place, I was

., amazed at the constructive nature of the discussion and the shelving of personal egos. Anyone who was

is forced by economics and simple efficiency. The athletes invited to the next Olympic Preparation Camp, in late February, would be those who showed the most promise from the first camp. Athletes who were not invited to the second camp will have an opportunity to be reevaluated at a future date, not determined as of the first training camp. So, not making it past the first camp did not imply a death blow to Olympic team aspirations. However, the serious commitment of participation was made abundantly clear.

THE FIRST DAY Gymnasts and coaches arrived by bus

and van from the Houston International Airport. Training began with an orientation at 4:30 p.m. Bela opened the camp with a clear message to all involved of what we were facing, what had to be done, and how we were going to do it. Bela

YDNEY involved in past training camps would have been "rubbing their eyes" and wondering what had happened to the old ways.

Among the goals of this first camp was to determine the status of each of the athletes, reemphasize the commitment to physical preparation by practice and testing, and evaluate the athletes to bring the total number down to approximately 14. The reduction of the size of the group

reemphasized the poor phys ical preparation of the gymnasts in general and reiterated his commitment to bringing the gymnasts' physical condition up to a par with world class gymnasts. He also presented a bird's-eye view of the plan leading up to the Olympic Games and how the gymnasts will position themselves to make the team.

Then the fun began. Bela ran the gymnasts through a "warm up" that was aggressive and intensive. Many red faces followed. It was clear that the gymnasts

had learned from their experience in Tulsa the month before, that they would have to increase their general stamina. Although the work was clearly hard, it was a pleasure to see the gymnasts determined to keep up with the demands. Bela is a master at bringing gymnasts to the realization that they can do better. Following the warm up, a general stretching and conditioning period was used to allow the gymnasts to prepare for the event rotations to follow. The event rotations were overseen by tile National Staff: Vladimir Novikov-vault, Arthur Akopian-bars, Vladimir Artemov-tumbling, Tammy Biggs-beam, recently retired 1991 World Champion Kim Zmeskal assisted on beam, Geza Pozsar-floor and dance. Muriel Grossfeld, Martha and Bela "floated" by moving from event to event and athlete to athlete depending on the needs of the moment.

The athletes spent only a few minutes on each rotation on the first evening. The athletes got a complete orientation, a feel of the apparatus, and the opportunity to begin to focus their minds on the tasks of the next several days.

THE SECOND DAY Monday morning came with a similar

warm up for stamina and the athletes were then divided into groups for testing. At the Tulsa meeting, the athletes experienced physical abilities tests that would be used in the first Olympic Preparation Camp. Although the results of the Tulsa tests were only used to determine progress, not ranking, the introduction helped the athletes appreciate the need for physical preparation and the "teeth" in the plan to ensure that tile athletes would have to become more fit.

Most of the athletes had clearly taken it upon themselves to increase their physical fitness. The enllanced performances in January when compared to the Tulsa testing were encouraging. Although the athletes still have a ways to go, the results of four short weeks of training had clearly shown that the athletes and coaches had taken direction and pursued improvement. Following the physical abilities tests, the results were compiled and the athletes' ranks were determined. The National Staff also ranked the athletes on each of the events and dance. Finally, an overall composite ranking was developed from which the final rankings of the athletes was determined. Following the testing, the athletes began training

with a gymnastics-typical rotation system of moving groups of athletes from event to event. This type of training followed for the remainder of the camp.

THIRD AND FOURTH DAYS

The proceedings after the testing were truly remarkable. Atl1letes and coaches worked very intensely. The National Staff's job was not to take the place of the personal coach, but to serve as an advisor and resource for the personal coach and athlete. I have seldom seen such an open, honest, and unpretentious sharing of ideas from all coaches with all athletes, not just their own. Of course, the National Staff encouraged, informed, and demonstrated at every opportunity. And, while the personal coaches were obviously attentive to their particular athlete, they also cheered, encouraged, and helped other athletes. I think the good vibrations from this camp must have reached every corner of the country. I remember consciously pondering how great these kids could be if they could train like this all the way to the Games. Astonishing ...

WHAT WE LEARNED Being a card-carrying skeptic, let me

begin by saying that I have never been as encouraged after a training camp as I am right now (in the airport waiting for my flight) . We learned that the gymnasts can indeed become more fit and thus be more effective in training and avoid injury. We learned that we can work together, and not just a little but a lot. I saw Elise Ray do TWO Tkatchevs in a row. 1 saw Vanessa Atler look like dynamite in spite of recovering from an injury. I saw Katie Hardman do an exquisitely beautiful straddle jump-split jump combination. I saw Jeanette Antolin do a layout Jaeger FROM INVERTS. Annabeth Eberle almost left tile gym on her vault. Kristen Maloney is doing some beautiful dance work and absolutely chomping-at-the-bit to be 100% again. Amy Chow could possibly be the real "Energizer BunnY,' she looks fabulous and continues to astound. Space precludes me from discussing all the gymnasts. We learned that the gymnasts can maintain an intense focus for four days, an unflinching dedication to their performance, and a willingness to accept leadership.

The gymnasts are definitely headed in the right direction!

THE TWO-MINUTE TURN-AROUND TO BEAT THE BEAST

Now we will practice the two minute turn-around to beat the Beast. First get a piece of paper. Fold the paper in half with two colunms. Label one column "Beast thoughts" and the other column "Vision thoughts." Under the Beast column write every negative thought that comes into your head when you are feeling afraid and negative. Don't leave anything out. These thoughts might be negative statements you tell yourself ("you 'll never get this, you may as well give up," or " J can't do it"), or feelings ("J feel a

I brick wall and just can't break through it"). After you write down all your Beast statements, write your comebacks to the Beast lmder the Vision column. Be sure you have more Vision statements then Beast statements. Your Vision needs to be strong and powerful. Some examples of strong Vision statements are, "] can do it, don't listen to him. " "J can turn this bad day around. " "Breathe, visualize my routine." "J know J can do it. . .I've heard this Beast 1,000 times . . .I'm going to ignore it. "

Now that you have written your Beast and Vision thoughts, we will practice the Two-Minute Turn-Around. To practice the TwoMinute Turn-Around, we will use the code S, B, V, Go!!, to change your Beast Thoughts into Vision Thoughts. SB\!, Go!! is a very powerful tool. Here's what it stands for:

5 stands for STOP! As you notice any Beast thought the first thing you do is say to yourself STOP!!

B stands for BREATHE. Remember, breathing gets you into the present, not stuck in past or future fear thoughts. After you say "Stop!" inside your head, the next thing you do is take a deep breath.

Y stands for Vision. After you breathe, change your Beast thoughts to either Vision thoughts or neutral, motivating, thoughts.

GO!!! Will help you energize yourself and get motivated so you can Beat Your Beast!

OK .. .IT'S TIME TO PRACTICE. DON'T LET FRUSTRATION RUIN YOUR DAY. PRACTICE THE TWO-MINUTE TURN-AROUND.

Close your eyes and think of your Beast thoughts .. .let the Beast beat you up. Do this for a few minutes. Imagine yourself having a bad day. See yourself balking, feeling frustrated, crying, or whatever typically happens on your worst day. Let your Beast thoughts get the best of you. Then, imagine yourself getting off of the event, going to get a drink (or stepping to the side of the event) and tell yourself "Stop!" and take a deep breath.

On the exhale, flood yourself with Vision thoughts and change your thinking. That means, begin flooding yourself with your Vision thoughts. Imagine your Vision is a powerful river drowning the Beast thoughts. Flood with your Vision two times, taking a deep breath each time. Feel the difference? Changing your thoughts creates confidence I Practice this twice either at home, in the car, or before bed. This will train your mind so when you are in the gym you can flood out that mean 01' Beast anytime!! Remember, changing negative thinking to positive thinking is a life-ling practice. It doesn't change over night. Keep working on your mental strength as you do any new task. Practicing the Two-Minute TurnAround helps you become mentally tough both in the gym and in your life!

Designed and manufactured

with assistance from National Team Coaches, the Just

Right by Gibson is the newest idea in Ladies Uneven Bar Grips. The Just Right is cut slightly

narrower for great contact with the bar and reduces side to side rolling of the grip for athletes with smaller hands The single buckle design assures a firm, tight fit at the wrist, and eliminates the constant adjustment necessary with velcro strap grips.
