Artistry by Ashley
“Contradictory to its’ name, Women’s “artistic” gymnastics has become less and less artistic as the sports’ rules demanded more and more acrobatic skill requirements from its athletes. As coaches focused on pushing the limit with with acrobatic skills to raise the difficulty value of a routine, we must also remember to create a routine which is artistically captivating and beautiful. For any gymnast to really SHINE she MUST capture the heart of the judges and audience with her fluidity of movement and expression during choreography, especially at levels when the difficulty is not yet calculated!
“As a lover of artistic creativity, my goal is to help coaches and gymnasts maintain and enhance the “beauty” of gymnastics as the skill level rises to create an overall “WOW” factor! It is essential that a little bit of extra time is set aside during practice to teach gymnasts how to perform rather than just what to perform. In competition at any level, it is always ultimately the “how” that beats the “what”.”
