Road to Rio | More About Me | Training SMART 

Im a lvl 7 mag gymnast, I love the sport. But I am the only one in my team who stayed in the sport, I won't give up just because everyone else is.

So amazing watching you work so hard and gain skills! Also yaaasssss to COD 😂🙌🏻 I really hope you make the Olympic team! Good luck in your upcoming comps 😁

This is really a very good format for a VBlog that is a balance between personal information about yourself and real information about your training and your sport. More Please!

Completely agree with your comment on hours. Refreshing to see an athlete with the knowledge of how his training works best for him. Too many coaches in too many sports at all levels try and push more hours of training or more metres done - in essence training for the sake of training, instead of training smart. It's not how much you train, but what you do in that training that makes you improve.

Just re watching videos and loving your analogies and currently transferring your analogies of train smart whilst training for British Ballroom championship :)

I am a coach for gymnastics and all this advice has been top notch for when I get my coaching badge and when I am fully qualified. Also, thank you for all these Road to Rio videos because it helps me with my assignments in college and gives me the knowledge for when I coaching.

Fantastic vlog! Love seeing your journey to Rio

Great video! Jasper has just returned from training and all we hear about it is that it was "great"! You tell us much more about what you all get up to!

First ;). SO POwerful

thank you so much!! I don't do gymnastics as my main sport, I do the German Wheel (probably you don't know it) but your videos really help me to keep on training, because I am the only one on my team training this much and on this level and you're videos really help me, thank you♡ keep up the good work in training and with your videos!! I hope you go to the Olympics!!

Thank you, thank you for this info buddy all youtubes need to do it more often, its a big piece of the puzzle

It's funny how you are so used to pointing your feet that 5:32-8:17 while you sit you point your feet!

Love the videos. Questions: -How much do you get paid? And is it those 15 guys on the national squad that you mentioned that are getting supported by the government? -What are your long term plans (5, 10 years from now)? -How do you decide which skills to work to add to your routines? Do you have an ideal ultimate set of skills you want on each event?

It helps, Nile. It helps a lot. :-)

GO NILE!

keep up the hard work brother

Great video!

As my career I would really like to do something related to sport but I'm not quite sure what yet (not athlete or coach). It would be really helpful if you could say who is involved in your success as an athlete like physio, nutritionist etc. Thank you in advance:)

Great video man! Can't wait for more. I just recently joined Ninja Gymnastics Hawaii and am doing pretty good. After day 1 I was hooked. So after completing this I am thinking of trying regular gymnastics. I am trying to cut down a lot. Any tips for big guys?

Thank you soo much for sharing your tips and thoughts!! Your analysis of your training is soo interesting and inspiring :-) . And by the way I'm finding your style very elegant and a lot more pleasant to watch than others (does this make any sense in the gymnast world?? )

that book could help me with my next comp💪😁

I'm training at Lilleshall tomorrow

I wish you will smash olimpics man :D

What would you consider some baseline levels of strength someone should aim for before learning real gymnastics movements? Example: 20 strict pull-ups, 2 minute wall handstand hold, 20 dips, 40kg weighted plank for 1 min, side plank with 20kg, back extension/arch up with 10kg for 20 reps, etc...?

im in this vid

Have you got any strength exercises for Maltese? I'm about halfway there, but wondered if you had an really good exercises that I can do to help me reach the full Maltese? :)

Love seeing you work so hard. I hope you you will make it!! Are there days where you are not/less motivated and if so, how do you stay posotive?

I've got a question. What are you trying to do different to other people to try and make the Olympic team? If that makes sense? Also I'm loving his series and your videos and seeing what you do in a day and what you eat and how many hours etc

hey man got any tips for heally turn on pbars? my shoulders are landing in front of my shoulders and my hand isnt getting down fast enough keep it up

What's your advice to young teens who want to take up on gymnastics?

Hi Nile. What book were you reading where you got that golf analogy from? Thanks, David

Hey Nile, keep up the good work. What's the name of the book you mention regarding golf?

Teach how do a Double Back Flip, don't exist a tutorial in youtube. How get height, How to get prepared for it, etc..

In the future id love to go to the olympics,its a goal of mine, like you ive been doing gym since i was 4 but ive only just started competions (at age 14),have you got any advice on how to get in a team for olympics or get noticed ,and thanks you for these videos there so inspirational 💪x

Hey Nile! Do you ever have those days where your body just can't do any of the skills? And if so how do you train around this? Cheers

hey whats up.could you do a frontlever and planch tutorial video please

What specific weight exercises do you do to improve your gymnastics?

I have trained there x

How does the scoring work in gymnastics? How do you get points?

What's ur favourite part of gymnastics? X

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't 7 of you guys go to worlds? Only 5 can go to Rio. Are you nervous about not being on that squad?

How hard is it to get to the top if I started gymnastics at 12.

You never really talk about you coach that much, how much of an influence do they have on your gymnastics?

how old were you when you were in level 4??

What to gymnasts do after they retire? I'm guessing you're not going to be doing this until you're 60.

Who is in the olympic team then at the moment?
