  • Training on The Gymnastics Pathway from Junior To World Stage w/ Tejal Patel
    2025/06/16
    In this episode of the Game of Gymnastics podcast, host Winston is joined by Tejal Patel, the Pathway Support Lead at British Gymnastics, who holds a PhD in training load, injury, growth, and maturation in gymnastics. Tejal shares insights into her role, emphasizing the importance of developing gymnasts not just as athletes but as well-rounded individuals. The conversation delves into the performance pathway in gymnastics, the significance of a holistic approach to athlete development, and the challenges faced by young gymnasts, particularly during transitions from junior to senior levels. Tejal discusses the importance of education, communication, and support systems in helping gymnasts navigate their journeys, while also addressing the pressures they face. Listeners will gain valuable perspectives on the intersection of sports science and personal growth in the world of gymnastics. KEY TAKEAWAYS Holistic Development : The pathway support at British Gymnastics emphasizes the importance of developing gymnasts not just as athletes but as well-rounded individuals. This includes focusing on mental health, personal growth, and life skills alongside athletic training. Understanding Growth and Maturation : Knowledge of growth spurts and maturation is crucial in gymnastics, as it helps predict periods of increased injury risk. Educating gymnasts and coaches about these phases can aid in managing expectations and preventing injuries. Empowerment Through Education : The pathway support provides gymnasts with tools and knowledge to take accountability for their training and recovery. This includes practical sessions on nutrition, recovery practices, and self-management skills. Communication and Feedback : Open lines of communication between gymnasts, coaches, and support staff are essential. Regular feedback helps tailor the support provided and ensures that the needs of the athletes are being met effectively. Individual Journeys : Each gymnast's path is unique, and success is defined by personal improvement rather than comparison to others. The focus should be on setting individual goals and recognizing that progress may not always be linear. BEST MOMENTS "It's just so important that you've got different elements in your life, like gymnastics is a part of your identity." - Tejal Patel "We can actually sort of predict roughly when you're going to go through your growth spurt, and it's really important because during this time you're at an increased risk of injury." - Tejal Patel "It's about developing. You don't have to be perfect, you don't have to be the best. Play the long game." - Tejal Patel "I think the sport maybe attracts a lot of perfectionists, and that's not a bad thing. But that comes with extra pressure." - Tejal Patel "Sometimes a bad day can just happen. Some days are just not right." - Winston Pal MY SOCIAL LINKS https://www.instagram.com/wpowell05/ https://www.instagram.com/wpowell05/ Host Bio: As a member of the Senior Great Britain Squad, Winston Powell brings firsthand experience to every episode.

  • How To Get Good At Gymnastics and OTHER Questions Answered - Q&A With Winston
    2025/06/09
    In this episode of the Game of Gymnastics Podcast, host Winston engages in a lively Q&A session, answering a variety of questions submitted by listeners via Instagram. He shares insights into his personal experiences with injuries in gymnastics, discussing the frequency and recovery times associated with various injuries. Winston also reveals his favorite skills, the fun aspects of gymnastics, and the impact of joint strain over time. He reflects on his journey in the sport, from starting gymnastics at a young age to his current goals, including upcoming competitions and aspirations for the Commonwealth Games. The episode delves into philosophical questions about the nature of gymnastics, the balance between flexibility and strength, and the importance of mistakes in the pursuit of perfection. Listeners are encouraged to engage further by leaving comments and suggestions for future episodes. KEY TAKEAWAYS Injury Frequency and Recovery : Injuries are common in gymnastics, and recovery times can vary significantly depending on the severity of the injury. While some injuries may only require a few weeks of recovery, others can take months or even years, highlighting the importance of proper care and consultation with professionals. Passion for the Sport : Enjoyment and passion for gymnastics are crucial. While there may be stressful days, the overall experience should be fun and fulfilling, as gymnastics is pursued primarily for love of the sport rather than financial gain. Importance of Flexibility vs. Strength : In gymnastics, both flexibility and strength are important, but their significance can vary by discipline. For men's gymnastics, strength may be prioritized, while flexibility is more critical in women's gymnastics due to the nature of their routines. Training and Competition Goals : Setting clear goals for competitions is essential. The focus for the upcoming year includes participating in British teams, the London Open, and potentially qualifying for international competitions, emphasizing the importance of consistent training and performance. National Training Camps : National training camps are intensive, multi-day events that include both training sessions and educational components, such as psychology and nutrition. Participation in these camps is often determined by performance in domestic competitions, which serve as a pathway to national team selection. BEST MOMENTS "I've had both shoulders, back, basically the entirety of my arm... there's quite a lot of injuries." "If you're not finding it fun, why are you actually doing it in the first place?" "Mistakes are the way you move forwards. Mistakes are the thing that drives progress." "If form is everything, where does freedom go? It's an interesting question because it makes sense." "In terms of the domestic competitions, I want to be one enough in the British teams and London Open to qualify for the World Cup in Paris."
