In my home, one of my most prized possessions is this US Olympic Team Flag.  It travels with me on all of my Tumbl Trak adventures, and accompanies my girls to their meets and camps in the hopes we will meet an Olympian who might honor us by adding their name to our treasure.  

Every day, from the flag hanging in our living room, Jordyn, Bart, Elise, Shannon, Bridget, Kim, and 35 others remind us of the strength, grace and perseverance of extraordinary human beings...and the desire to pursue gymnastics dreams.

Starting the new year with a fresh look at the calendar brings new opportunities!  If you are a gymnastics coach with an interest in providing programs for children with special needs, or if you are a therapist with an interest in incorporating more movement and sensory integration techniques into your practice, or if you are a teacher who works with children with special needs…. This training is for you and you AND you!

At the end of every practice, my daughters huddle up with their team and start their clap happy, roaring team cheer.  Then, a stampede of athletes head to their lockers to retrieve shoes, coats and backpacks.  But the part of the “end of practice routine” that I love the most is the sweet gesture that each athlete leaves the gym giving earnest thanks to their coaches...“Thank you, Coach Kelle.  Thank you, Coach Sierra”.  And, that each time, the coaches respond with kindness and gratitude as well.

With the internet at our fingertips we have access to endless amounts of research, which can certainly be an incredible thing! However, if you are anything like me, the vast amount of online knowledge can also feel overwhelming.  Talk about information overload!  

Since 2002, Tim and Tamara Smola have opened the doors to Central City Dance and Fitness Center. Priding itself on being “A Leap Above the Rest,” it has grown quickly to serving more than 1,250 dance students! One of the greatest additions to the studio was ACRO, which the couple introduced three years ago in 2014.
