    5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Description and Detail
    Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2012
    Verified Purchase
    My daughter is now a L7 USAG gymnast and I can no longer keep up with the terms of the latest moves she is learning. This book has them and describes them well enough for me to understand her when she gets a move and is thrilled or is struggling with a move. The diagrams help as she can point to them and show me where she is having an issue and even better, she can show me how she is able to overcome those roadblocks. My only complaint is that it does not have enought moves described/detailed.

    5.0 out of 5 stars An objective and technical guide for every coach
    Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2012
    Verified Purchase
    It is a thin book (because of the small print) packed with facts and guiding knowledge. Comprehensive, from the Judging Codes of Points to individual skills; and practically technical, based only on objective analysis of the process (focused on the goals, without bias on one type of coaching). It is also appreciated that it evenly covers both men and women gymnastics.

    I would have loved it if the book explained more how to do the exercises, and spoke more of how one should place hands, feet and whole body for doing all the moves in gymnastics.
