Jessica O'Beirne, host of the mega popular Gymcastic podcast, has opinions on adult gymnastics, and they are well earned. Before starting the first and biggest gymnastics podcast in the world, Jessica competed as a JO gymnast and later as an adult gymnast for over a decade. She joins Better Late to talk about her gymnastics journey and how she created opportunities for herself to stay involved as an adult. She shares tips for approaching gym owners about starting adult gymnastics classes and how to get their buy-in for the long term. Jessica also talks about what it's like for many gymnasts to transition from the USAG culture to adult gymnastics, getting over your ego, relearning skills again and again, and why adult gymnasts should be careful about trusting their muscle memory. PLUS! How to make conditioning fun and Jessica's vision for the ideal adult gymnastics program.
