gymSAFE Movement Screen:
Our gymSAFE Movement Screen offers gymnasts a unique opportunity to gain insight into their own bodies. This thorough, yet simple test empowers gymnasts to take control of their training by identifying strengths, weaknesses, and imbalances. Armed with this knowledge, they can work on their weaknesses and advocate for themselves, both in the gym and with medical professionals. This autonomy not only enhances performance but also fosters a proactive approach to injury prevention.
This year’s event was planned by the Athlete Leadership Council (ALC)—a group of current and retired competitive gymnasts from across the nation—addresses the critical aspects of injury prevention that they believe are pivotal for a successful gymnastics career. Under the direction of founders Coach Jessica Wickizer and Dr. Alyssa Herrera-Set, gymSAFE looks to empower gymnasts, coaches and parents with essential knowledge and resources to proactively prevent injuries and ensure a healthier, safer gymnastics journey.
Educational Workshops:
Our Athlete Leadership Council has collaborated with health professionals to bring your gymnasts a Physical Foundations Workshop, Nutritional Foundations Workshop and a Mental Foundations Workshop. Get ready to learn and have FUN!
