Praise for "Gymnastics: Boys Level 1 Coaches Certification Manual" "I have been waiting for a boy's manual like this for some time. It's a great tool for the up and coming new gymnastics coach as well as the experienced coach. Good skills, good illustrations and I am excited that my staff now have an excellent reference book for the boys recreational program with great teaching progressions." Wayne Kerr - USA National and International Coach "Resumes give the club owners and managers backgrounds of their potential applicants. Many resumes don't give enough information about their gymnastics background and qualifications in the sport. Those who are GYMCERT Certified give the applicant a better advantage for the job. I always look to see each applicant's level of education and if they are GYMCERT Certified." Al Fong USA National Coach, Great American Gymnastics Express "Instructor turnover at the recreational level of gymnastics has been an ongoing problem for most gymnastics school programs and hard to deal with, especially the training of our new recruits. The GYMCERT manuals and web based training program will save me a lot of time in presenting the basics of this sport. Certification of my instructors is also a great marketing tool for my program." Tim Rand USA National Coach, American Twisters "It's about time there is an Educational Training Program for the grass roots of gymnastics. GYMCERT is the answer and a 10.00! Thank you, Gymcert writers." Mike Jacki Former USA Gymnastics President "Way to go, GYMCERT! It is as easy as 1-2-3. One, the text in the manual gives solid training materials for the novice coach and the manual describes each skill. Two, each skill is fully illustrated in the manual with excellent technique!" Vladimir Artemov 1988 Olympic Champion, Former Russian and USA National Team Coach "Teaching Gymnastics is my passion, so along with GYMCERT's Boy's Instructors manual I am able to offer the best safety minded skills program form my entire boys' classes!
