“Training will improve, clients will advance faster, and you will appear more experienced and professional and garner more respect, if you simply recommit to the basics.” They will also advance in every measurable way past those not blessed to have a teacher so grounded and committed to basics.” They will quickly come to recognize the potency of fundamentals. They will not be bored they will be awed. “If you insist on basics, really insist on them, your clients will immediately recognize that you are a master trainer. This rush to advancement increases the chance of injury, delays advancement and progress, and blunts the client’s rate of return on his efforts. Teaching a snatch where there is not yet an overhead squat, teaching an overhead squat where there is not yet an air squat, is a colossal mistake. But make no mistake: it is a sucker’s move. The urge to quickly move away from the basics and toward advanced movements arises out of the natural desire to entertain your client and impress him with your skills and knowledge. It is natural to want to teach people advanced and fancy movements. Rarely do trainers really nitpick the mechanics of fundamental movements.” Rarely now do we see prescribed the short, intense couplets or triplets that epitomize CrossFit programming. We see this increasingly in both programming and supervising execution. “What will inevitably doom a physical training program and dilute a coach’s efficacy is a lack of commitment to fundamentals. The novice’s curse afflicts learner and teacher alike. If you’ve ever had the opportunity to be taught by the very best in any field you’ve likely been surprised at how simple, how fundamental, how basic the instruction was. “The novice’s curse is manifested as excessive adornment, silly creativity, weak fundamentals and, ultimately, a marked lack of virtuosity and delayed mastery. This compulsion is the novice’s curse-the rush to originality and risk.” “There is a compelling tendency among novices developing any skill or art, whether learning to play the violin, write poetry, or compete in gymnastics, to quickly move past the fundamentals and on to more elaborate, more sophisticated movements, skills, or techniques. But more importantly, more to my point, virtuosity is more than the requirement for that last tenth of a point it is always the mark of true mastery (and of genius and beauty).” It is, however, readily recognized by audience as well as coach and athlete. Virtuosity is defined in gymnastics as “performing the common uncommonly well.” Unlike risk and originality, virtuosity is elusive, supremely elusive.
“Virtuosity, though, is a different beast altogether. Understandably, novice gymnasts love to demonstrate risk and originality, for both are dramatic, fun, and awe inspiring- especially among the athletes themselves, although audiences are less likely to be aware when either is demonstrated.”
“Risk is simply executing a movement that is likely to be missed or botched originality is a movement or combination of movements unique to the athlete-a move or sequence not seen before. To get the last three tenths of a point, you must demonstrate “risk, originality, and virtuosity” as well as make no mistakes in execution of the routine.” “In gymnastics, completing a routine without error will not get you a perfect score, the 10.0-only a 9.7.
