[@gracepickering7281]

As a long-term gym fan, Tom allowing a visit like this to be filmed and us seeing the process and his comments is INSANE. Marta would never, lol. I think his transparency with both the athletes and the community is healthy for the sport

[@HazelLouisee]

It looks like someone other than Jonas was filming as well. I wonder What that was for.

[@user-lt1vl4te1o]

@@HazelLouisee There is a documentary being filmed

[@KandeShack]

I think Tom almost has to be transparent because the past history of secrecy that caused so much heartache.

[@alexandramoore9260]

Agreed!

[@graciesgymnastics4947]

Yessssss

[@SongbirdCollageArts]

Does anyone else notice that pretty much everything, including criticism, that comes out of Tom's mouth is positive?

[@chandlerm8092]

yeah it was cool to see a coach in general for any sport that was encouraging but also helpful at the same time

[@katfire4]

It shows that he's a good coach. You have to critique so the athletes can improve and positivity is the best way to encourage and push them.

[@SongbirdCollageArts]

@@katfire4 Yes! Such a 180 from Marta.

[@erinhuang1563]

That’s what makes him different than Marta I guess

[@atypicaltiffany]

Yes, we all noticed 🙂 and it’s so good to see positive reinforcement in coaching. ☺️

[@KandeShack]

I bet she was exhausted physically and mentally!! Boy the difference between Tom and Bella & Marta is night and day!! Tom seems kind and encouraging. He wants the best for each gymnast. I would hate to be him at the Olympic Trials. He’s got such a tough job! Great practice MyKayla!

I am loving the fact that Tom is good with being filmed and everything. He seems so positive!!! And I am loving that everyone can post about gymnastics with no worries and showing their routines! During the Martha era I never saw that.

[@jojox9791]

Lol. Tom did make the comment he wished Suni Lee would stop posting her bar routines 🤣

[@aarulf]

@@jojox9791 at least he allows it though and doesn't get mad. It's such a huge improvement in my opinion compared to Martha

Well they are different and their methods are different. Thanks to Bella and Martha , us girls gymnastics is were it is now. Now is time for change and is good.

[@aarulf]

@@chitownlokito but look at what it costs. Yelling and making the girls be scared to eat shouldn't be a thing. Like they are still successful without them

[@dunktheball]

I am not the most knowledgeable about gymnastics skills, but I remember a long time ago someone (not an elite like you two) talking about how hard they were for her and she was all excited when she was able to do them. lol. I remember her mentioning giants, also, but I can't remember what she said about those... Any time I see you comment, it reminds me that I forgot you're in college now. Somehow I keep thinking it's been no time since you were a jr elite. lol.

[@castropolous8784]

This was the best training video ever! I love hearing all of the coaches and Tom being there was extra awesome to see! Also great editing Jonas! Straight to the point not a bunch of extra fluff, it was awesome 🤩

Anyone else find it so satisfying how when she tumbles onto the mat after her handspring she goes into her tucks and fulls, etc. she hits the same spot every time 🤣💕

Your videos are so good because they show how insanely difficult, time consuming and painful it is to put together a routine at this level of competition.

why keep the wolf turn and risk the .1-.3 deduction when you could technically play is safe with an L-turn to double turn, or maybe double to inward to L? kinda similar to the L to inward on BB
