Ex Olympic Gymnast Craig Heap Supports our programme’s
“Who we become is the greatest reward for achieving our dreams, not what we get”.
Craig started gymnastics aged 9 at his local sports centre, after his parents took him to classes in order to put his hyperactivity to use. He accepts that being a gymnast in an all boys high school was a challenge but believes this helped shape him into the successful person he is today.
“Fundamental Coaching is driven by enthusiastic coaches who have the passion to develop people through sport. I focussed my energy on Gymnastics and did well, who knows I could have been a great runner, footballer or other - most importantly I had the Fundamental Skills of Movement and the bases for Long Term Athletic Development (LTAD) which I believe children should develop from a young age no matter what sport they choose”.
“Fundamental Skills of movement are essential to the development of young children and Fundamental coaching is dedicated to developing these skills in young children through their unique coaching philosophy and methods. Fundamental Coaching will give any child the best start in life”.
