Road to Rio | More About Me | Training SMART

[@kristianpaul7840]

Completely agree with your comment on hours. Refreshing to see an athlete with the knowledge of how his training works best for him. Too many coaches in too many sports at all levels try and push more hours of training or more metres done - in essence training for the sake of training, instead of training smart. It's not how much you train, but what you do in that training that makes you improve.

[@greenred8270]

Im a lvl 7 mag gymnast, I love the sport. But I am the only one in my team who stayed in the sport, I won't give up just because everyone else is.

[@chloetoft7359]

I am a coach for gymnastics and all this advice has been top notch for when I get my coaching badge and when I am fully qualified. Also, thank you for all these Road to Rio videos because it helps me with my assignments in college and gives me the knowledge for when I coaching.

[@Rach4458]

Just re watching videos and loving your analogies and currently transferring your analogies of train smart whilst training for British Ballroom championship :)

[@gpackwood1]

This is really a very good format for a VBlog that is a balance between personal information about yourself and real information about your training and your sport. More Please!

[@Corey19974]

Fantastic vlog! Love seeing your journey to Rio

[@lsmithgo2]

Great video! Jasper has just returned from training and all we hear about it is that it was "great"! You tell us much more about what you all get up to!

[@OddsceneEmma]

So amazing watching you work so hard and gain skills! Also yaaasssss to COD 😂🙌🏻 I really hope you make the Olympic team! Good luck in your upcoming comps 😁

[@NileWilsonGymnast]

+Emmzable Haha thank you

[@alinakeller5642]

thank you so much!! I don't do gymnastics as my main sport, I do the German Wheel (probably you don't know it) but your videos really help me to keep on training, because I am the only one on my team training this much and on this level and you're videos really help me, thank you♡ keep up the good work in training and with your videos!! I hope you go to the Olympics!!

[@CEPTime2Entertain]

Thank you, thank you for this info buddy all youtubes need to do it more often, its a big piece of the puzzle

[@natesharpe]

Love the videos. Questions: -How much do you get paid? And is it those 15 guys on the national squad that you mentioned that are getting supported by the government? -What are your long term plans (5, 10 years from now)? -How do you decide which skills to work to add to your routines? Do you have an ideal ultimate set of skills you want on each event?

[@pepito134]

First ;). SO POwerful

[@pavshocker]

keep up the hard work brother

[@elizabethw.9042]

GO NILE!

[@kgreen175]

What would you consider some baseline levels of strength someone should aim for before learning real gymnastics movements? Example: 20 strict pull-ups, 2 minute wall handstand hold, 20 dips, 40kg weighted plank for 1 min, side plank with 20kg, back extension/arch up with 10kg for 20 reps, etc...?

[@MrGedankensprung]

It helps, Nile. It helps a lot. :-)

[@thomasbuentello3231]

It's funny how you are so used to pointing your feet that 5:32-8:17 while you sit you point your feet!

[@kendrao9647]

Great video!

[@talenchappell8009]

Great video man! Can't wait for more. I just recently joined Ninja Gymnastics Hawaii and am doing pretty good. After day 1 I was hooked. So after completing this I am thinking of trying regular gymnastics. I am trying to cut down a lot. Any tips for big guys?

[@llilev]

Thank you soo much for sharing your tips and thoughts!! Your analysis of your training is soo interesting and inspiring :-) . And by the way I'm finding your style very elegant and a lot more pleasant to watch than others (does this make any sense in the gymnast world?? )

[@adamhussain1553]

that book could help me with my next comp💪😁

[@nimosound3159]

I'm training at Lilleshall tomorrow

[@Kath1929]

As my career I would really like to do something related to sport but I'm not quite sure what yet (not athlete or coach). It would be really helpful if you could say who is involved in your success as an athlete like physio, nutritionist etc. Thank you in advance:)

[@NileWilsonGymnast]

+Katherine Robertson Will do ☺️

[@Kath1929]

thank you! it would be really helpful :)

[@amyria9230]

What's your advice to young teens who want to take up on gymnastics?

[@mattdwornik3566]

Have you got any strength exercises for Maltese? I'm about halfway there, but wondered if you had an really good exercises that I can do to help me reach the full Maltese? :)

[@MissHulk6]

Love seeing you work so hard. I hope you you will make it!! Are there days where you are not/less motivated and if so, how do you stay posotive?

[@NileWilsonGymnast]

+Rose Thank you! Yes I feel like that from time to time! It's important to focus on your end goal! The Goal is always bigger than the obstacle

[@weadventureoutdoors3091]

Hi Nile. What book were you reading where you got that golf analogy from? Thanks, David

[@aaronantonas6167]

[@frinksbeast733]

[@rafaelmonaco2023]

Teach how do a Double Back Flip, don't exist a tutorial in youtube. How get height, How to get prepared for it, etc..

[@jaspersmith-gordon4003]

im in this vid

[@xXFright]

Hey Nile! Do you ever have those days where your body just can't do any of the skills? And if so how do you train around this? Cheers

[@hjbretherton]

I've got a question. What are you trying to do different to other people to try and make the Olympic team? If that makes sense? Also I'm loving his series and your videos and seeing what you do in a day and what you eat and how many hours etc

[@NileWilsonGymnast]

+Harvey Bretherton We are all in a similar situation but I suppose those who perform to the highest level with the most consistency have the biggest chance

[@emilymincher6139]

In the future id love to go to the olympics,its a goal of mine, like you ive been doing gym since i was 4 but ive only just started competions (at age 14),have you got any advice on how to get in a team for olympics or get noticed ,and thanks you for these videos there so inspirational 💪x

[@gymnasticsbecky1671]

I have trained there x

[@WillPovey]

Hey Nile, keep up the good work. What's the name of the book you mention regarding golf?

[@DARupp93]

+Will Povey Yes, what is the name of the book? You have very good insights on training philosophy.

[@NileWilsonGymnast]

+Will Povey Life Leverage - Rob Moore 👍

[@jackwilliamson1540]

What specific weight exercises do you do to improve your gymnastics?

[@NileWilsonGymnast]

+Jack Williamson Videos Coming soon mate

[@thepain7756]

hey whats up.could you do a frontlever and planch tutorial video please

[@NileWilsonGymnast]

+Mykil Hassan I have a top planch tips video on the channel mate

[@Ellie-qy5cj]

How does the scoring work in gymnastics? How do you get points?

[@jaspersmith-gordon4003]

you get points for moves you do, if they are hard they are worth more than easier ones. in the routines you are marked out of ten on how well you do it and then you add on top the total worth of all the moves you did altogether.

[@jessbourne4599]

How hard is it to get to the top if I started gymnastics at 12.

[@gymnasticsbecky1671]

What's ur favourite part of gymnastics? X

[@sonyaluisoni2367]

how old were you when you were in level 4??

[@BryanJohnsonbeatsbyBJswizzle]

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't 7 of you guys go to worlds? Only 5 can go to Rio. Are you nervous about not being on that squad?

[@NileWilsonGymnast]

+Bryan Johnson That's True mate! I'm very excited & up for the challenge!

[@BryanJohnsonbeatsbyBJswizzle]

Nile Wilson That's great bro, best of luck to you. :)

[@95testaccount]

Who is in the olympic team then at the moment?

[@JKarstadt]

+95testaccount Nobody. The team is selected about a month before the games i believe.

[@toopkarcher4941]

What to gymnasts do after they retire? I'm guessing you're not going to be doing this until you're 60.

[@frinksbeast733]

he doesnt have to do it on the highest level all the time - and also he can become gymnastics coach i guess, or start to train crossfitters like David Durante :D.

[@NileWilsonGymnast]

+Toopkarcher You don't see many Gymnasts past the age of 30.. Would love to stay in the sport & fitness industry

[@mook1481]

You never really talk about you coach that much, how much of an influence do they have on your gymnastics?

[@NileWilsonGymnast]

+ilylouis Massive influence! I will talk more about this in my future videos

[@mook1481]

+Nile Wilson thought so, keep up the amazing training you work so hard day in day out i really hope you make the team for rio, you deserve it so much good luck for all the upcoming competitions x
