  • ive been there

  • DE DONDE ERES

  • @arturogymnastic12 México

  • @gymgirl84mex PERO DE QUE ESTADO

  • @gymgirl84mex  yo tambien

  • the lady is a great coach!!! who is she?

  • wow eres bastante buena y nececitamos de esas gimnastas en mexico cuantos anos tienes? xq se ve q eres joven y una gran promesa

  • muchas gracias!!!!! por desgracia no soy tan joven como parezco jeje tengo ya 25 años. Hago lo que puedo para sobresalir y sacar adelante la gimnasia mexicana.

    Desgraciadamente vivimos en un país en el que sólo unos cuantos deciden quién representa a México.

    Pero sigo dando lo mejor de mí!!!!

    Muchas gracias por el comentario!!!! Me levantó el ánimo!!!!! GRACIAS!

  • Oh! eres mexicana!!! qué gusto!!! quería preguntarte si fuiste al campamento de Karolyi y cual es tu experiencia? Me gustaría mucho ir pero no se si de verdad una semana me sirva de mucho... gracias!!!

  • pues de hecho yo no he ido al q organiza Bela, pero unas compañeras sí fueron y pues sólo sirve como para experimentar movimientos nuevos (porque los entrenadores practican cómo cuidar a las niñas). Sin embargo no es intensivo.

  • In fact, just to give lay people an inside view on great coaching, notice in this video (from 1:18- ) that the coach watches the girl practice her front tuck, tells her to do it again, gives her a correction, and even pushes her to go for it when the girl slightly hesitates. The second front tuck, coach sees that the girl is 'on' and jumps right in and yells 'there it is, GO!', then spots her thru a combination. Takes a HIGHLY experienced coach to know how to spot, when to push, etc.

  • This is so true. And when she yells things repeatedly like "ARMS!" she's actually giving a very important reminder. If you don't lift your arms and chests immediately after skills you risk landing short and hurting yourself. And knowing when to push is so important. When a gymnast misses a skill, it's so crucial they get back up and do it again to break the fear that can begin to grow.

  • That woman is actually an excellent teacher and spotter; gymnastics isn't for the faint of heart or sissy's. So much of training is mental and psychological preparation; these girls are training routines that could be fatal if performed incorrectly. Coaches teach in this militant style to prepare the gymnasts for the rigors of GYMNASTICS!

  • I second that! Amen!

  • THAT WOMAN!!!! uuugggh!

  • ok at most gyms i compete at, there r dese big lites. im afraid dat when i do anything going backwards, i ll look at the lites and freek out. any tips?

  • I really haven't think about it lol

    But you should be really focus on what your doing (the skills) instead of the lights. Believe, when you have on your "big lights" and "have to catch that Gienger", I think your mind is going to be more worried about the Gienger than the lights lol

    Seriously, try to put away all the "bad" thoughts away when you do gymnastics.

    When I do gymnastics, there's only me and the apparatus. Try to think that. Remember a great gymnast can compete anywhere! U can do it!

  • Well thnx, but they blind me.

  • lol I know what u mean. There's a gym at where I compete, and there are no lights on bars!!!! Could u imagine????? It's terrible!!! And on sunsets, the sun gets into your eyes! I have to close my eyes! Or only one eye! hahaha same thing on beam! I have to close only one eye 'cause I have to see the beam lol

    Try closing 1 eye or close just a little bit both eyes.

  • Thank you1 Thats gonna help. I don't really have 2 worry about it yet since I'm only Level 5, but there is only one beam at my gym I can do Back walkovers on, and its in the cornere where there are no ligts. Thank you very much

  • At 7:35, why r they landing on their backs?

  • They were scared to do the full turn LOL

  • into a shushunove thingy?

  • yeah! kinda stupid, right? lol

    One of them actually landed crooked on the side and she was scared from that moment on!!!!

  • well, im afraid 2 c my shadow on any skill, but im only level 5

  • i hav a really bad aerial cartwheel, but do u think its possible 4 me 2 learn a front aerial? i try it in2 pit some times. my coach won't teach me. she says first my round-off 2 backhandsprings needs 2 b perfect first

  • Of course you can!!!! You have to give some time....

    But I think your coach is right: you gotta first learn and master the basics, so later you can focus on harder skills and it's going to be easier to learn them!!! Be patient (I know sometimes is very hard because u want 2 learn new stuff)

  • srry 2 keep asking u all these questions. lthe big lites ones were also from me.  :-)

  • doe Bella himself still teach some of the students? or come by to visit?

  • Well, this camp it's not THE Karolyi's summer camp. But, he goes to the gym just to look that everything is in order and so we can take pictures with him.

    Martha 1 time went to see our beam training. I was terrified lol

  • he has another camp? is that where he trains Olympic athletes? and this is just for anyone to use? How does he know Olympic potential?

    Lol sorry for asking so much questions i've just been really interested in gymnastics training.

  • np, no, this camp is organized by a coach that lives in Mexico but used to work at Karolyi's.

    It's like.... he invites mexican teams.

  • Ok, np

  • o ok i am sorry that would have heped a lot :)

  • i dont but you do not hae to be so rude.i was just saying that most gymnast are wanting to go to the olympics .

  • Ok. Sorry, but next time try to have much more touch with people.

    'Cause like me, there will be many that misunderstand you.

    You should have put a smiley or something right after your comment

  • Thank you for posting this! It shows how much hard work it is just to do basic routines. I can't imagine the intensity you have to have to compete at the Olympics. I will stick to playing the guitar and just watching gymnastics to get inspired. (Guitar is WAY easier, believe me.)

  • lol I know! MAybe when I retire, I'll stick to playing guitar hero and rock band lol it's way easier!!!!

    Thank you for value our work ;)

  • And Guitar Hero and Rock Band are a lot easier than the real guitar. Try really playing - it's a lot of fun and a good stress reducer. Yes I value your work. I love the sport and your video of the training here.

  • omh lucky you have been there??

  • What level are you? Where do you train?

  • I'm a level 10. I train in Mexico City.

  • Your coach on beam is psycho

  • hahaha I know!!! But she is great!!!

  • Hah your "pyscho" beam/dance coach reminds me of myself when coaching. Scary, but cool!

  • are girls in the back saying nastia nastia nastia? haha

  • jajaja nah, that camp was last year

  • hahaha I was in all the groups

  • what group were u in..double fulls or what?

  • I love the beam coaches accent!!!!lol i love that camp

  • i went to karolyis camp last week, and i miss the beam coaches' accent!!

  • In August I'm going to the camp again!!!!

  • oh lol haha never mind then

  • two of the girls i coach went there for e camp...

    they r 8 9 they came back with layout step outs n the beam

  • Did they go on this exactly camp or which one? because this ones was only mexican teams.

  • oye me puedes explicar algo sobre ese campamento? en realidad me interesaria mucho ir. es solo de equipos mexicanos? agradeceria mucho tu respuesta :)

  • Lo que pasa es que este campamento en especial lo organiza un entrenador americano que está en el DF. Sólo van máximo 50 niñas. Regularmente sólo son niñas de México (Torreón, DF, EDOMEX...) pero si te interesa dime. Todavía hay cupo, empieza el 30 de julio 2008 hasta el 12 de agosto.

  • oye, yo estoy interesada, hay algun limite de edad o nivel??

  • i thought it would be more hardcore

  • nah, that was a really easy day lol

    Didn't film the whole camp...

  • who is your coach? or the lady who is coaching you?

  • The lady's name who is coaching me is Gina

  • Really Nice are you going to the 2008 Mexican Nationals as an Elite (class 1)?

  • Yeah, I'm going as "clase 1".

  • Good Luck!

  • do you like karolyi camp because im goin there by myself on a plane this summer?

  • Well, the camp that I went to was different than the ones that Karolyi organizes... Their camp is to experiment new skills, and play, and so... this camp is just gymnastics: no time to play, or campfire...

    It all depends on what you're looking forward in the camp. But Karolyi's camp is really fun! you'll have a great time!!!

  • Hola, me puedes decir qué campamento es este que fuiste, yo también quiero ir al de Karolyi, pero no se si sea bueno

  • how old are you???

  • I'm very old... 23 lol

  • You should have alot more comments than you do.. the things you do are GREAT!

  • are you a elite??

  • almost... hope to become one in less than a year...

  • great skills girl!! keep going!!
