Swimming on Monday. Football on Tuesday. Music on Wednesday. Gymnastics at the weekend. Sound familiar? For many families, extracurricular activities have become an almost automatic part of childhood. We want our children to try new things, build confidence, make friends and discover what they love. But somewhere along the way, have we started to believe that every empty space in their diary needs filling? In this episode of Parental Control, Ellie Thompson welcomes education expert Katharine Radice back to the podcast. With more than 20 years' classroom experience and in-depth knowledge of education and adolescent development, Katharine advises schools nationally and internationally and is the author of The Parent's Guide to Exam Stress. Together, they ask a deceptively simple question: how many clubs should our children actually be doing? From the benefits of extracurricular activities and the warning signs of an overscheduled child to knowing when to let kids quit, Katharine explores whether every child really needs a packed diary and how much of the pressure is actually coming from us as parents. And what about doing absolutely nothing? They also discuss the importance of boredom, free play and giving children the space to simply be children. Because perhaps the question isn't how much more we can fit into their week, but whether we're in danger of scheduling the childhood out of them.

In this episode of the Perform Happy Podcast, I sit down with elite gymnast Lisa Lazar Richer to talk about neurodivergence, mental blocks, visual processing, ADHD, and the importance of understanding how each athlete experiences gymnastics differently. Lisa shares her journey as an elite gymnast and opens up about struggles she had with inconsistent steps, beam dismounts, vaults, and bar mounts that she could not explain at the time.Years later, while learning about her son's visual processing disorder, Lisa had a major light bulb moment. A vision therapist recognized patterns in her own gymnastics experience and explained that vision therapy may have helped her. Lisa shares how those challenges contributed to injuries and missed opportunities, including missing national team years and Olympic trials.We also talk about why assuming an athlete is simply not trying can miss what is really happening. Lisa explains how ADHD actually worked in her favor in the structured environment of the gym, while her visual processing differences created challenges she did not understand at the time.Lisa and I also discuss psychological safety, communication, and why coaching and support cannot be one size fits all. We talk about how parents and coaches can work together, listen to the athlete, and focus on finding solutions instead of pointing fingers.In this episode you will hear:Why mental blocks are not always about motivationHow visual processing can affect gymnastics skillsWhy athletes may need different types of supportHow ADHD can interact with gymnastics trainingWhy coaches and parents should avoid assuming an athlete is not tryingHow communication and collaboration can help athletes feel supportedThis conversation is a powerful reminder that sometimes the reason an athlete is struggling is not what we think it is.

In this episode of the Perform Happy Podcast, I sit down with NCAA gymnast Lacie Saltzmann to talk about building confidence, overcoming mental blocks, handling fear, and finding joy in gymnastics even when things don't go according to plan.Lacie opens up about being a hesitant gymnast who struggled with confidence and mental blocks when she was younger. She shares how learning how skills worked helped her build trust in herself, and how visualization became an important part of her preparation.We also talk about a difficult moment at UNC when Lacie was overwhelmed by what-ifs, fell on a dismount, and had to find a way to trust herself again. Instead of allowing that experience to define her, she used visualization, positive self-talk, and the support of her coaches and teammates to move forward.Lacie shares why setbacks can become opportunities for growth, why finding small wins matters, and why young athletes should learn to enjoy the journey instead of putting all their happiness on the outcome. She also talks about prioritizing sleep, recovery, and time away from gymnastics as part of becoming a stronger athlete and person.In this episode you will hearWhy confidence is built over timeHow visualization can help with fear and mental blocksWhy setbacks don't have to define your gymnastics journeyHow parents, coaches, and teammates can support athletesWhy recovery is part of trainingHow to find joy in the hard daysThis conversation is a powerful reminder that confidence doesn't mean never being scared. It means learning that you are capable, trusting the work you've put in, and continuing to move forward when things get hard.Learn exactly what to say and do to guide your athlete through a mental block with my new book "Parenting Through Mental Blocks" Order your copy today: https://a.co/d/g990BurFollow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/complete_performance/Join my FaceBook page: https://www.facebook.com/completeperformancecoaching/Check out my website: https://completeperformancecoaching.com/Write to me!

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, happy Monday!! So.. we (Alex & Jules) found ourselves in some heat over our video games after kids take from Friday, so we had to get a guy's POV.. and you guys? He may have even HOTTER takes. Turns out Harrison was a GAMER gamer back in the day (18-hour Grand Theft Auto Sundays.. we have questions), but as a dad he has rules: there are more productive ways to decompress, never let it eat family time, and play when everyone's asleep. Then Jules asks the question that will surely put us back in the comments: are video games just Cocomelon for adults?! But before ALL that: it's officially HYROX race week for the dads (we're heading to DC later this week!) We settle the great seasonal debate: when does summer ACTUALLY end? Alex says Labor Day, Harrison says September 21st because "the sun does not lie." Plus Saturn Return (why your life flips upside down between 26 and 29.. planets, maybe!) and Tinx's 3-articles-a-day challenge. We're in. On the home front: Tate had her first gymnastics class
Tony Beck was named the seventh head coach in the history of Penn State men's gymnastics on May 15, 2026. He replaced Randy Jepson, the man who recruited him, coached him, and mentored him for the better part of two decades. This is his first long-form interview since taking the job. Mubarak coached Tony his junior and senior years of high school in eastern Pennsylvania, before Tony ever put on a Penn State singlet. That history runs through the whole conversation. In this episode: The night he got the call, and what it meant when Randy Jepson showed up that same night Why Ohio State was the dream school before Penn State was Building the first boys program at Centre Elite Gymnastics with five kids in a gym so small the parallel bars had to be offset Coaching Stephen Nedoroscik and Josh Karnes, and the two very different kinds of toughness they represent The analytics platform he coded himself to track his team's hit percentages and routine scores Following Gene Whetstone, Carl Schier, and Randy Jepson at a program with 12 national team titles What he tells young gymnasts who are not the most talented athlete in the gym This is part one of a two part series.

Andrew Chupp's Britney Spears mashup went viral, even catching the attention of longtime Britney Spears choreographer Brian Friedman. But the routine also drew hundreds of angry comments from strangers furious about a man competing in women's gymnastics events. Host John Corella brings on Andrew, an adult gymnast, photographer, and coach with more than a decade of coaching experience who now specializes in optional-level gymnastics, for a conversation on Dance Dad recorded ahead of his trip to the 2026 Gay Games in Valencia. Andrew explains how he answers the people who say beam is not his to use, and what changed the night he had a dream that sent him back into training after years away from the sport. He also shares the comments he hears whenever he posts himself on beam and the tools that help him keep online backlash in perspective, plus the injury that had him nervous about being ready for Spain and the Gay Games. John and Andrew talk about what happens when male gymnasts challenge old ideas about masculinity and femininity, why more gyms are making room for adult gymnastics, and how organizations like AAU, NAIGC, and NGA are creating ways for adults to compete, and what it means for LGBTQ+ athletes in sports to compete without hiding who they are. Andrew has become one of the more visible faces of adult gymnastics and of men competing in women's gymnastics events, and he does not soften the parts of the conversation that make people uncomfortable. Press play for a conversation about beam, boldness, and what it actually costs to stay in a sport that was not built with you in mind.

Two Commonwealth Games silver medals. Three World Championships. A skill in the FIG Code of Points with her name on it. And then Mary-Anne "Mez" Monckton walked away from gymnastics entirely. This week on Back to Basics by GymnasticsVille, Mez joins the show to talk about the full arc: getting talent-ID'd by the Australian Institute of Sport at age 7, moving to Melbourne alone at 15, silver at Glasgow 2014, the ACL tear training for the Rio test event, retirement in 2017, and the night at a Calgary gym in 2023 when a coach's words made her cry on the floor and brought her back to the sport. Today Mez runs CAPTivate Adult Gymnastics in her hometown of Newcastle, Australia. In one year she has grown it from 20 athletes to more than 85, trained 10 coaches, and built a program proving it's never too late to fall back in love with gymnastics.

For 40 years, Bill and Sharon Grogan have helped Paragould athletes learn more than gymnastics. They've taught them grit. In this episode, Bill and Sharon share how their own experiences with gymnastics and cheerleading eventually led them to coach nearly 100 kids at the Paragould Community Center. Seeing a clear need in the community, they took a leap of faith and opened Champions Gymnastics in 1986. They reflect on the loyal people who helped them build the business, Bill's experience working with Olympic medalist Earl Bell, and the many athletes who became like family along the way. It's a story of entrepreneurship, perseverance, community, and four decades of lasting impact in Paragould. In the end, not only have they built a successful program, but they've developed a growing family.
Get ready for a jam-packed episode of The Chad & Cheese Podcast as hosts Joel Cheesman, Chad Sowash, and Emi B serve up their trademark mix of industry news, corporate earnings, and unfiltered banter. The episode kicks off with personal updates and shout-outs, covering everything from Chad's slippery "Charlie Brown" beach wipeout in Portugal to a Harvard report on workplace outcomes, the rise of late-night interviews for night owls. As the episode shifts into corporate strategy, the hosts put the latest financial filings and major market moves under the microscope. You will hear them break down the Q2 earnings, cost-cutting strategies, and future outlooks for ZipRecruiter, Recruit Holdings, and Indeed. The team then brings back their signature "Buy or Sell" segment to grade recent consolidation in the space, evaluating MetaView's acquisition of Reval (and its autonomous coworker "fillmore"), CareerMinds picking up Jobrapido, and the big transition of a long-time leader at LinkUp. Finally, the episode tackles the serious side of hiring tech with a look at global regulatory compliance and vendor transparency involving Maki People, Mochi AI Assessments and Recruitics, before winding down with a nostalgic debate over the unexpected relaunch of MySpace. To find out who gets a "Buy," who gets a "Sell," and exactly why the hosts are skeptical of the latest AI trends, you will have to tune in to the full episode.
Many CrossFit Coaches and Owners struggle to program and coach high-skill gymnastics that actually help their athletes unlock new skills.

World Champion Sean Townsend joins GymnasticsVille Host Mubarak Simmons to preview the 2026 U.S. Gymnastics Championships. Townsend won a World title on parallel bars in 2001, the first American man on a Worlds podium in 22 years, and trained alongside Mubarak at Houston Gymnastics Academy under coach Kevin Mazeika. Today he's the head coach there, with two of his own athletes competing in Phoenix this week. With Asher Hong, Brody Malone, and Donnell Whittenburg all out of the field, Townsend breaks down why he thinks Malone is playing the long game, names his five-man pick for the World team in Rotterdam, and explains why he believes the 2032 Olympic team could be the best in U.S. history. He also shares the untold story of competing at the 2001 World Championships in the weeks after 9/11, when his team was told they weren't going, then found out two weeks later that they were. This is the second of two GymnasticsVille previews ahead of Phoenix. Listen to the first, with Highland Park ISD Gymnastics Coach Justin James, wherever you get your podcasts.

On July the 4th 2026, surrounded by family members, loved ones and close friends I married the most beautiful person in the World. It was truly the best day of our lives and we both felt incredibly lucky to have shared the experience with soo many wonderful human beings. Ozzy is now two and a half years old and growing at a pace that me and his Mum find rather bewildering. The past twelve months have been full of both challenges and positive milestones in all aspects of my self employed work. I've shared my Olympic story with thousands of children again this academic year, coached many young gymnasts at both ends of the performance pyramid and have had many exciting opportunities to work with elite athletes. Gymnastics continues to evolve but as we reach the half way point in the LA 2028 Olympic cycle the financial framework within the sport is something I'm watching extremely closely. A wedding signifies the start of a brand new chapter and I feel optimistic about the possibility of building a long lasting legacy that will give back to the sport of artistic gymnastics for many years to come. And this is my story.
Welcome back to Goalie Science — Episode 148. Derek is ready for hockey season. Jamie is running on an iced espresso and white monster combo and fixing up a house he probably shouldn't have bought. Both are ready to get into it.
The countdown to LA28 has officially begun, and there's no better way to kick it off than looking back at the gymnast who made history in Seoul. Three-time gold medalist Daniela Silivas joins Dance Dad with John Corella to explain how ballet training shaped her gymnastics long before LA28 was even a headline. Daniela grew up training in communist-era Romania, where her first year of gymnastics consisted entirely of ballet, flexibility, and strength training, seven days a week. She breaks down how gymnasts use dance training to build the control that shows up later on beam and floor, the same foundation today's LA28 hopefuls are building, whether they realize it or not. She also revisits her floor performances at the 1987 World Championships, where she earned three perfect 10s across the competition, and the story behind the skill now known as the Silivaș mount on balance beam. That routine helped carry her to Seoul, where she medaled on every event and became one of the most decorated gymnasts in Olympic history. As the world turns its attention to LA28, Daniela's story is a reminder of what it takes to get there. Listen to the full episode to hear how a ballet training that began when she was five years old in Romania turned into three Olympic gold medals, and why the fundamentals still matter more than the flash.

The History of Italian Gymnastics traces the remarkable rise of one of the world's most successful gymnastics nations—from Italy's early Olympic champions and circus acrobatics roots to the Vanessa Ferrari revolution and today's powerhouse led by Alice D'Amato and Manila Esposito. We explore the forgotten pioneers, iconic eponymous skills, the dominance of Jury Chechi on rings, the 2019 breakthrough World medal, the unforgettable Paris Olympics, and whether Italy has what it takes to defeat Team USA during the Los Angeles quad. Along the way we revisit Vanessa Ferrari's controversial Olympic floor finals, the MTV series that made Italian gymnasts celebrities, and the innovations that changed the Code of Points forever.

Stand-up comedian and writer Josh Johnson returns to Money Rehab nearly two years after his first time on the show. Since then, he has become a hosting correspondent on The Daily Show, reached millions of followers on socials and continued to post a new stand up set to YouTube (he's done this for 156 consecutive weeks). He talks about how he's avoided lifestyle creep as his career has flourished, the best money advice he's received, and why being broke is like drowning in a swimming pool. Then, Nicole gets Josh's take on some of the strangest recent money headlines, including a woman who reportedly saved $15,000 on groceries by going on dates, Victoria's Secret stock jumping 48% after changing its ticker to “VSXY,” and why taxes are apparently making Gen Z cry.

Shawn Johnson East joins Bobby to look back on her life as an Olympic gymnast and the pressure that came with competing at the highest level from such a young age. She shares what it was like doing Dancing with the Stars at 17, why Olympic trials felt even harder than the actual Olympics, and how the constant need to win affected her mentally. Shawn also opens up about why she retired young, learning to separate her identity from gymnastics, and what life has looked like after stepping away from the sport that defined so much of her childhood.
