The first week of April, Carrie Lennox, Tumbl Trak's new Educational/Marketing Coordinator, flew to Michigan for a week. She got to know the rest of the Tumbl Trak staff as she helped demonstrate some ways to set up Fitness Wheels and the 5-in-1 Bar System for Kid Fitness activities during one of our on-site staff training days.
On Wednesday of that week, the Photo Shoot for new products took place and included both still photos and video recording. About eight gymnasts from Mid Michigan Gymnastics, George Young's gym in Freeland, MI, were a great help in showing drills with the new pieces, as well as some fun activities for Kid Fitness applications. Congratulations to George and his gymnast, Kirsten Gendron, for qualifying for Level 10 JO Nationals! It is well deserved!
On Friday, James, Carrie and I drove south to visit Glenn Hayden at Cutting Edge Gymnastics. Glenn's "Field Trip on Wheels" program has reached out to over 20,000 kids in the Clinton Township area of Michigan where they have enjoyed his activities since school started last fall.
That weekend, Ambassador Rick McCharles traveled to Al Fong's Coaches' Clinic in Blue Springs, MO. He then went on to visit Chow's Gymnastics and Dance in DesMoines, IA. Be sure to read more about Rick's visit in the Inside Traks section of the monthly newsletter.
Also in April, James and Chris, our videographer, visited Memmel's gym in New Berlin, WI to interview Andy, Jeannel, Chellsie, and Mara about their positive coaching approach from both the coach and gymnast perspective. This same video project, the Power of Positive Coaching, took the duo to Oakville Gymnastic Center in Oakville, Canada, near Toronto. Rick McCharles met them there and for two days they enjoyed meeting and video recording gymnasts at the Canadian National Training Center. [See the Inside Traks article for more information about this visit.]
On April 18, Diana and I flew back to WA, met Leonard Issacs at SeaTac airport, then drove on to Port Townsend. Leonard was a guest coach for a couple of days at NASA in Gig Harbor. While John was in the U.K. with a couple of his gymnasts, Leonard and John's wife, Linda, kept the team kids busy.
Diana and I flew to Hawaii for a bicycle-video tour the last week of April. Hawaii is the 50th state I have visited-and this time it wasn't for business!

At the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, Doug Davis competed floor exercise where Fred Roethlisberger was his coach. Before finishing college, he was the assistant coach for the women's team. After graduating, he coached high school girls' teams and also a college team for several years.
Doug then went to work for Bob Bradley with Milwaukee Academy of Gymnastics. After marrying he and his wife, Diana, moved to Michigan where he joined Midland Gymnastics Training Center coaching artistic gymnastics and power tumbling.
Doug also owned and operated his own gym in Ithaca, MI for three years. After the Ithaca gym caught fire and burned down, he began the company V.T.L., Inc. now known as Tumbl Trak.
