Thanks Coach !

[Karl Kallio]

I would like to say a huge thank you to Coach Sommer and the GB Community.

Since January we have been incorporating elements from Gymnastic Bodies into our training sessions and this weekend we saw the results: 1st place in every event we entered (except for one 2nd place) at the National Technical Synchronized Swimming Championships. This might not be a big deal because it's a small country with a low international ranking, but ita lot better than we have done in previous years and perhaps my favorite part was the athletes wanted to know how soon we could get back to training Usually a competition wipes them out but this time they withstood the physical demands much better.

In reality we have just begun to aquire proficiency with L-sit, hollow hold, handstands and hanging leg raises as well as running but it has made a big difference. I can't wait to see what happens when they are ready for more advanced progressions.

So thank you very much to Coach Sommer and all of the people who post so much great information on this forum.
