Better performance with a new approach for teaching the Junior Olympic women's compulsory routines Gymnastic coaches struggle with finding ways to help their athletes compete at the highest levels and perform their best at the key moments in competition. Too often, performance in the meet does not match expectations. The gymnasts, who have worked so hard, 'Pop the Clutch', -- they don't replicate their exceptional practice routines. Anell Roberts, a gymnastic coach with 23 years of experience, has an answer to 'popping the clutch' syndrome. It's called TAGteach. TAGteach works by providing instantaneous, objective feedback to gymnasts in a way that greatly increases concentration and reduces fear. Kids learn much quicker. They learn much more confidently. They perform with less anxiety. The result? Astoundingly better, more consistent performances.
