Particularly this group. I remember a time when one girl s boyfriend was beating her up and hanging around. I kicked him out and told her to dump him. If that situation happened with this group I think they'd personally kick him. These girls are dedicated and determined. <br>Mental focus is a big part of Randy s approach.  Everyone looks at how many hours are spent in the weight room and training field, but no one talks about training their minds. When someone says this person can t compete, you have to ask how he or she has trained. If there isn t some mental training going on, there s a problem. I think that kids are not really prepared these days.<br> When developing a strong mental attitude you have to be constant. You need to hammer them about the mental aspect so much that when they get to a meet they re so sick of hearing it they ll do anything just to shut you up!<br> The mindset I work toward is nothing matters except performing well. You perform; afterwards we talk about the problem. If a shoe flies off in the middle of a run, it doesn t matter. You need to eliminate all the worry over any of the things we cannot control at the moment. You need one goal, and that is to compete well. Everything else can be taken care of after. <br>Randy works hardest on his freshmen and sophomores.  The oder ones usually get it. They do whatroblems described in that book really don t take place with any greater frequency than they do in other sports. And if you look at college gymnastics, you re not going to see a bunch of emaciated little girls they re athletic, healthy-looking young women. Further, Ayars believes that all athletes can benefit from participating in the sport at some level.  It doesn t matter what sport somebody plays, gymnastic training will help them be a better all-around athlete. <br>The Sandhills Academy of Gymnastics offers a variety of gymnastic programs, holding classes for those as young as 16 months all the way up to competitive junior Olympic teams. They also have popular recreational and tumbling classes. Ayars says that gymnastics usually costs more than most other sports, which he attributes to a lack of support from taxpayers who are more willing to subsidize main-stream sports such as baseball.<br>Ayars is vocal on the subject of how public support affects gymnastics in this country:  Men s gymnastics has been hurting at the international level because it s really developed at the collegiate level, and over the past 10 to 12 years the college men s gymnastics program has really been gutted. At the last Olympics our teams didn t do too well, but since then our international women s teams have been doing much better. <
