years we (I meaT! man y of the officials of the Sport) spent a great deal of time having meetings and organi zing and drawing up charts etc., etc. , etc. , but how much time was in the gym with our young gymnasts, how many practical work outs a nd clinics were org a nized , how much time was spent REALLY TEACHING GYMNASTICS as against organizing it. If you will remember there was a day , when we could beat Mexico, Cuba, etc., and could really challenge the U.S.A. CAN WE NOW where are the Seniors and for that matter where are the Juniors. May I appeal to the leaders in the Sport to get out of the meeting rooms and into the gymnasiums , we do have a great deal of coaches and judges time spent around tables. Our boys and girls are keen and talented but they desperately need good coachin~. In case you don 't think I practice what preach ask anyone in Toronto if I have not spent the last three years with the little ones , helped by another old timer Eugene Oryshyn I would like to tell many of our judges you have a responsibility to coach and spend time in the gym. Age group gymnastics is the key and we all know it, can we cut the meetings around the tables and get around the apparatus and teach swings , kips , etc. , if not we will soon have no gymnasts to organize.

Two Quotes The first one is from the B.C. newsletter and was sent in by Jill Winberg , Age 9 Winning is Fun Sure But winning is not the point
Wanting to win is the point Not giving up is the point Never being satisfied with what you have done is the point Never letting anyone down is the point Play to win Sure But lose like a champion Because it's not winning that counts What counts is tying The second quote is from Colin Wackett Pres. , Etobicoke Jaycees Gym Club from the Ontario Newsletter. " Surely the only concern and interest should be directed to improve the effectiveness and performance of the gymnast, whether a beginner or an advanced competitor. This Sport will not advance without the correct attitude towards the gymnast- they must become our main motivation.
