Manage episode 408878505 series 1446592
In our latest episode of the PerformHappy podcast, we sit down with Shelby McNamara a former American rhythmic gymnast on the USA National Team and the founder of FlexAbilities, a flexibility training program for dancers, figure skaters, and gymnasts. Her flexibility training program combines flexibility, strength, and ballet technique.
Shelby's story is one of resilience and determination, from her late start in rhythmic gymnastics to her innovative approach to training. Her journey into the world of sports began at the age of five, driven by a dream to wear the national team jacket. Despite setbacks and changes in sports, her determination never wavered. Transitioning through gymnastics, diving, and figure skating, Shelby finally found her passion in rhythmic gymnastics. Her journey to elite training in Chicago was marked by long hours and rigorous practices, shaping her understanding of dedication and discipline.
Reflecting on her experiences, Shelby recognized the need for a healthier approach to flexibility training. Drawing from her own journey, she developed FlexAbilities, focusing on proper technique and respect for the body's limits. Her method emphasizes safety and body awareness, moving away from harmful practices prevalent in the past.
