Welcome to a new series, Gymnastics Competition Season Tips!
This series will focus on providing tips and tricks to keep you on your A game this gymnastics competition season! In this post, we will focus on the importance of visualization and how it can improve your performance at gymnastics competitions.
Gymnastics visualization is when you imagine yourself doing your skills and routines in your head. There are many reasons that gymnasts have used this technique for many years:
Mind-muscle connection is very real! You want to be able to picture yourself doing perfect routines in your head so that your body can work to match it.
It allows more routine repetitions without physically having to do the numbers. This is very helpful when your training is limited due to an injury.
Tips to Prevent and Treat Gymnastics Rips on Hands
If you're a gymnast, you know what "gymnastics hands" are! Gymnasts have callouses on their hands from the uneven bars. The more that you practice gymnastics, the more your hands are susceptible to ripping. Ripping is when a piece of callus rips open. Some rips are very small while others could be the size of the palm. Some bleed and some don't, but most are uncomfortable and sometimes painful. You can also get rips on your wrist if your wristbands or grips start rubbing your skin. Rips are usually due to hands that are either too soft or too calloused. A gymnast’s hands need that perfect balance of being tough without being rough to avoid rips. However, there is no magic solution to completely avoid rips, they are just a part of gymnastics! We do have a few tips to help you avoid them as much as possible and for treating gymnastics rips when you do get them.
