Description:

Travis Ewart, Invictus Gymnastics Coach, joins us today for a pretty entertaining conversation. He is a USA Gymnastics Coaching professional who has worked with 4 year olds all the way to top Games Athletes. The perspective you're about to hear is so unique because it's coming from a pure gymnast.

It was a blast getting to understand his thought process around things like making body shapes, connection of speed, the debate around Hollow Body position, and so much more.
