Overall benefits of Gymnastics

Posted on Sat, Feb 27, 2016 @ 18:02 PM
Gymnastics is a great sport to attend for anyone and everyone.
 

This modern day and age.

The world is advancing remarkably fast, perhaps too fast for us to pay attention to the consequences of it's pace or it's power of distraction. Not too long ago, we used landlines to make calls only to family and friends. Now we have mobile touch screen phones, well known as smart phones, that provide us a mass amount of knowledge and phone calls aren't used as often as text messages. It may be distracting as the internet is filled with a substantial amount of entertainment and we can not forget that we in America still have the issue that still rises, which is obesity in the youth.

IMG_0321.jpg

 The age of gymnastics is unknown, could be as old as thousands of years as a sport or practice from Greece but don't take it as fact instead an educational guess. Long enough to know that it is well reputable sport in the Olympics and an impressive sport at that. Challenging the body to be able to push it's limits in strength and flexibility. However that is not to neglect the mind as well, as it takes a good amount of focus and dedication to execute actions fluently and accurately. The longer anyone does the practice, they learn a discipline that can be applied to anything and especially school! Learning to feel great about one self's success and support their peers in class, learning social skills and a strong healthy foundation in their life. You can follow this link to read the basics of the foundation one obtains from gymnastics. http://www.champaigngym.com/benefits-gymnastics

Like any sport, training and well just plain going out for a walk is great for anyone. Gymnastics is different to some sports as upper, core and lower body are constantly engaged. Balance is improved and as the writer of this blog, being able to walk on your hands is impressive alone. Overall it's a great counter to obesity and every student who attends Los Angeles School of Gymnastics always has fun. In addition, the skills gained from gymnastics can be used in any other sport. This article goes well in depth to some sports, in addition to what skills are learned from constant habit of learning gymnastics. https://usagym.org/pages/home/publications/technique/1999/3/whygymnastics.pdf

You have gotten just the gist of the benefits of Gymnastics and in the upcoming blog, there will be more information that goes in depth as to why everyone should do gymnastics. Thank you for reading LASG Blog, feel free to ask any questions or share your positive experience with gymnastics!

10 Tips For The New Year!

Posted on Thu, Dec 31, 2015 @ 09:12 AM

Since we're heading into a new year, we thought it'll be good to provide some general tips to make 2016 properous!  

 

keep-calm-make-a-plan.jpg

1.  Make a plan and stick to it. 

Too often we go through life spontaneous.  Although this may have you living in a bliss, it won't allow you to accomplish much.  Make sure you make a "Game Plan" this year.  Also, once your plan is written down make sure you execute!  Many people plan and lack execution.  Without execution, there is no SUCCESS!  

a-passion-your-life-passion-in-life.jpg

2.  Find what you're passionate about, then pursue it.

Find every reason to seek your purpose.  You're here for a reason, find that reason.  Why live your life doing things you DON'T enjoy?

 

 

ITP_Failure_1024x1024.jpg

3.  Embrace FAILURE.

I didn't say ACCEPT failure, but it's perfectly fine to embrace it.  Failure is the process of growth.  It's impossible to grow without failure.  Stay positive and know that the failure humbles you and prepares you to appreciate the success!

 

ee53d0568a05114acd79050322cb33c0.jpg

4.  Surround yourself with positivity.

If it's not positive or encouraging, you may have to get rid of it whether it's a person, place, or thing.  

new.gif5.  Try something new.

Why are you having the same sandwhich at the same restuarant at the same time every Tuesday?  Don't limit yourself with comfort.  Life's short, but then again it's not.  Live life to the fullest by experiences new things!  

 

optimism.jpg

6. Practice "OPTIMISM" everyday.

It's so easy to see the hole in the donut.  (Hmm donuts sound good right now)  A healthy life is rewarded to those who are able to see the entire donut that surrounds the hole.  

 

procrastinate.jpg

7.  Don't procrastinate.  

Let's just get it down NOW.  We both know LATER... wont happen.  

 

house-moved.jpg

8.  Continue to build on your solid foundations.

We all have foundations in life for morals, ethics, skills, etc.  If it's good, continue to build on the house.  If it's bad, knock it down and start over.  

 

smile.jpg

9.  Smile more.

Did you know forcing yourself to smile can boost your mood?

Did you know smiling can boost your immune system?

Did you know smiles are contagious? 

Did you know... well you get the point.

10.  Try GYMNASTICS!  

Want to try a sport that teaches you discipline, determination, focus, respect, toughness, balance, nutritional values, dedication, and teamwork?  Look no further!

USA Gymnastics Honors LA School of Gymnastics with Coach and Athlete of Year

Posted on Fri, May 22, 2015 @ 19:05 PM

May 22nd, 2015

LA School of Gymnastics is proud to annouce that the Head Rhthymic Gymnastics Coach Olga Putsillo and LASG's own Olympic-bound athlete Isabelle Connor completed a Gold Medal sweep at the 2015 Rhythymic Regional Gymnastics Championship in Sylmar, CA last week. Competing in the Level 9 Junior category, Connor swept first place all-around with a score of 49.6500, the highest score in 12 states across the country. USA Gymnastics honored Connor with the 2015 Athlete of the Year award in conjunction with her Coach Olga Putsillo, who also received the 2015 Coach of the Year honor from USA Gymnastics, the national governing body for gymnastics in the United States.

Coach Putsillo spoke proudly of Connor's performance, stating "I was impressed. She didn't make any mistakes. She was confident". Coach Putsillo herself was "very happy" by being honored as Coach of the Year by USA Gymnastics, and attributed both her and Isabelle's success to Isabelle's passion and dedication to her future in national level Rythmic Gymnastics. After such an amazing performance, Coach Putsillo is looking forward to Isabelle qualifying to the next level of competition at Level 10 Rhythmic Gymnastics. 

Isabelle Connor and Coach Putsillo will continue to the 2015 Rhythmic Gymnastics National Qualifier on June 5th in Lake Placid, New York at the United States Olympic Training Center to secure a spot on the United States National Team. Send your supportive wishes on the Offical LASG Facebook, Twitter, and Blog to support Isabelle and her coach. Way to go, ladies!

Do you know where Leotards come from? LASG does...

Posted on Mon, Apr 28, 2014 @ 18:04 PM
Have you ever wondered the purpose behind the different types of form, fitting clothing called Leotards, you see gymnasts and dancers wear?
The leotards used in gymnastics are not only fashion statements but mainly used because they allow freedom of movement for the gymnasts and dancers.
This delicate but durable clothing, named after a French acrobat named Jules Leotard, became a popular choice among colleagues after a 1859.  It was a flying trapeze performance that showed off Leotard’s physic and style.
Jules Leotard called the garment a “maillot” which is the French word for jersey, but the word “leotard” become famous in 1886 which was well after Jules Leotard's death.
You can find leotards worn on gymnasts, dancers and athletes all over the world today.  Fashionably nice to look at, as well as, sophisicated for perfomance.
Los Angeles School of Gymnastics loves the ever changing colors and styles of leotards, this is this year's, what's your favorite leotard?

LASG's Gabriel Sheriff, All Star Team Member

Posted on Mon, Apr 07, 2014 @ 17:04 PM

Congratulations Gabriel Sheriff, a level 6 gymnast, for becoming a member of the All Star Team! He is one of 9 who will be representing Southern California in the Regional Championships. Chosen for his performance at the SCMGA State Championships held at SOKA University March 21-23, 2014.

Gabriel on Still Bars

 

I asked Gabriel how he reacted after being told he had been chosen to be an All Star Team Member, and his face lit up! "I was really excited! I didn't think I would because I had fallen 3 times on the high bar. But when Manvel told me, I was elated and really happy."

His favorite gymnastics events are the Floor Exercises. He likes the open space to do backhand springs and to express himself through various flips, twists, and tumbles. He has been told he has powerful legs, which translates his seemingly effortless performances.

Gabriel has been practicing gymnastics since he was just 2 years old! He took 10 years off to focus on his studies and musical passion, but he felt like something was missing in his life. At 17 years old, Gabriel decided to join gymnastics once again. He chose to attend the Los Angeles School of Gymnastics after doing a lot of research on boys programs and found his home at LASG. He has been with LASG since August of 2013, and he has already made an exceptional impact on our student body and himself.

IMG_0197

Gabriel is a great inspiration for gymnasts everywhere! He started young and chose to steer away from the gymnastics lifestyle, but found himself most satisfied with his life while being involved in the gymnastics community. He found that returning to gymnastics had filled the empty void in his life and gave him something to occupy his time and divert him away from sitting on the couch and watching TV after school.

Gabriel Sheriff is planning to pursue a career in dentistry while continuing gymnastics. He would also like to explore musical theater. Gabriel is a multi-talented individual, not only is he a skilled gymnast, but he also plays the cello, sings, acts and dances. He loves to entertain!

Gymnastics is not only the foundation of all sports, but also the foundation of a confident future.

March 2014 Elite Squad Training Camp

Posted on Tue, Mar 25, 2014 @ 17:03 PM

Coach Elena Bokova and Rhythmic Gymnast Isabella spent the weekend in Houston, Texas at the March 2014 Elite Squad Training Camp. Isabela qualified per her competition results from 2014 Colorado Invitational in February. The camp was intended to bring together emerging athletes and their coaches to benefit from an event with other gymnasts and coaches for collective feedback, collective teamwork, and stimulation. Take a look at some of Elena ad Isabella's experience at the March 2014 Elite Squad Training Camp!

It must have been chilly in Texas this weekend as our LASG gymnasts are bundled up outside of their camp facility. Elena has been coaching rhythmic gymnastics for over 10 years. She currently also teaches Off-Ice Skating and manages the front office. Thanks for all your hard work, Elena!

   Rhythmic Gymnasts stretch on the stretching bar       during training camp. It is evident that these gymnasts are taking full advantage of the Elite Squad Training Camp through their posture and focused facial expressions. The gymnasts worked hard on improving their techniques, strength and flexibility skills through conditioning. After training, Isabella and her fellow Rhythmic Gymnasts get a break on the floor and put their focus on their studies.

Thank you USA Gymnastics for this wonderful opportunity! Coach Elena and Isabella had a blast!
