"One of the things that I took back to the team was making sure that you're not overtraining your athletes, and developing a rotation to ensure we're developing enough physical fitness training without using a rope." - Carly Simpson
Carly Simpson and Chris Brown are world champion jumpers and hosts of The Rope Wrap podcast. We completely get into the weeds with competitive jump rope culture in this episode, and it's awesome! If you're not a competitive jump rope coach or jumper, you'll still dig it, but know that we bring up a bunch of references here.
We get into so many detailed subjects about competitive teams and international organizations, including creating pathways for new jumpers to get involved with the sport, the history of international competition rules and their influence on how athletes participate in the sport, how to structure competitive team training to avoid athlete burnout, and how to progress the sport.
We also chat about some lighter things too like favorite performances, choreographing all of the routines in the Disney movie "Jump In!," learning the push up pull through for the first time, training for world championships, and more.
