It’s more of that you can see how much height they are getting for flips, to see if they will be able to push it over all the way. Then the trampoline and vault, you can see them ver off to one side, and the bar, her arms were bending and she didn’t have the strength to do the full rotation. Coaches know the kids routines and how much height they need and usually can tell when someone’s going to mess up, also if you’re learning a skill the are next to you while your practice! They just have to be very quick bc injuries in gymnastics can be fatal or at least very serious
@@chewhe2169 well, it's not clear if the kid was going to land on his had in the first place. Ofc we can se a similar position at the end of the clip, but that is because he was caught, and a downward motion was absorbed by the spotter, and the clockwise motion wasn't. If not the spotter, the boy would probably land on the top of his back, resulting in a risk of trauma, but the mat surely absorbs the momentum more evenly than a human. So at the end it's to be discussed whether the spotter reduced the risk or increased it
My spotter was an absolute life saver! I would throw any move he asked me to try because I knew he would save me. God bless him! I lost him my senior year high school 1975 Edison High School Huntington Beach, California. Gordon “Gordie” McCollom. After losing him, I took spotting and loved training others. ❤
That's what I thought! I babysat a toddler ONCE, and the whole five hours was basically "oh lord, he found another speedway to heaven, stop him!" 😅 My mother made me babysit her friend's nephew to change my mind (I don't want kids), and it failed spectacularly. I can't handle that stress!
There's no point in doing this stuff though. I was in gymnastics for 10 years, won lots of trophies/medals and "retired" at the age of 16 because it was lame. I don't talk to any of the friends I made back then. I don't keep in touch with any of my coaches. I don't even have any of the photos or awards anymore because it was that pointless and meaningless. I would have rather my parents focused on spending time with me and my education, but instead they found an after school daycare where I would be until 8pm every weeknight.
@@danielbrown2303 sorry that your experience was so shitty ❤ I definitely understand what you mean about wishing that time had been spent with your family
Coaches work with the same gymnasts day in and day out. They know where their athletes struggle or fail the most. At competitions you're expected to full send your routines. So anything they know is iffy is a section they'll pay close attention to They also see things like not enough height or rotation in a flip. For the vault example they jumped too far to the side of the vault and ended up pushing themselves off the track. Coaches can see where feet and hands land and foresee the trajectory of a flip. You will flip the direction your feet or hands are facing
When your S A. [Strategic Awareness] is at this level you anticipate by intuitively feeling the motions as they occur. You become one with the gymnast!!!!!
SKULL EMOJI Fr though. Also being able to figure out HOW to catch these athletes without causing traumatic injury? You can even see it on the gymnast's faces when they realise "I could have died rn. This is why I trust you beyond anything"
Bruh the last time one of my comments blew up like this, it was for a Final Fantasy Dissidia game clip between Cloud and Tifa. I said something like, "Their make-up sex must be fantastic." I'm fairly confident I was 12-years-old when I wrote that. 🤣
Честь, хвала, респект и уважение таким тренерам, которые рискуя собой и не смотря на свои полученные боль и травмы спасают от травм и смертей своих подопечных!!! 🥰💪🔥🔥🔥 ВЫ НАСТОЯЩИЕ ЧЕЛОВЕЧНЫЕ ЧЕЛОВЕКИ!!!🤗💪🔥❤❤❤
As a former spotter myself, I only ever felt comfortable spotting events and stunts I was strong in myself because I knew how to catch any incorrect forms. The spotter that caught that little boy in the red shirt though.. my heart about stopped 😅
That one is INSANE. I watched it a dozen times, and I can't see any moment myself where I can see it's going wrong until a second or two before his head was going to hit the mat. Of course I don't do gymnastics, but I can at least see on the other ones that they're off center or something. Maybe he's too low to the ground? Idk, but that's some superbly quick thinking and moving on the spotter's part.
@@bluesonicstreak7317 I wouldn't have caught it but watching it he probably noticed the momentum and launch was off a bit. Plus probably knows his student well to see what looks wrong when he does it.
@@destroyerdragon2002i know of a couple things that make it make sense to me lol. so when throwing an ax, the way to make the sharp end hit is the perfect point of release, and the other thing i know is when doing any kind of juggling all that matters is the top of the throw. so my guess is, based on where he was at the jump, and how high he went, that landing was going to be straight on his dome. ive done no gymnastics so i had to connect it to things i did know lol
@@ivoryas1696 aiming is the easy part, actually sticking it is about how hard you throw and PRECISELY when you let it go. you can hit the target dead on and it'll still bounce off because it hit the handle or something goofy. sometimes stepping back like half a step is the magic you need when you dont want to oops the axe over a wall. so first couple throws, get your aim right. once youre sure you can hit what you aim at, then start working on release and position (the half step) to get it to stick. same deal with throwing knives
as a gymnastics coach, we’re watching specific parts of their bodies. i’m a teen and i teach tinies, i’m always watching their hands when they’re on bar to see if they’re going to slip or not and that’s when i grab them
I was spotting a pull over, and she randomly let go while upside down, falling face first. I barely caught her by her ankle, definitely felt like Superman in that moment lol
It’s almost looks harder on camera than in person, cause I know my athletes and how high they go and thier habits, plus just the general technique and what the skill acc shoukd look like so it’s easier to see when things go wrong not in a vacuum. Still always crazy impressive to see it tho
Not to take away spotting is super difficult lol, more just to say that with context of what the athlete is doing and how they typically do it, and what to look out for helps a lot in allowing a coach to have those seemingly instant superhuman catches.
And possibly death, I lost my best friend in a similar incident only he flew the opposite side throwing him off to where a spotter could ever get to. Thank god she was luckier than him, also the coach blames himself for the death only that wasn't the case.
This has brought tears to my eyes this is wonderful. In high school I got hurt in gym and now and then I still hurt from the injury I sustained. These spotters are awesome!
Those spotters may have the best reflexes ever, since they are saving many kids from broken bones or at worst paralysis. Their reflexes are faster than my internet speed!
They have very good reflexes, but they are also experienced and well trained enough to see that something has gone off the rails before everyone else. Like that one guy who ran in from frame left and caught the girl doing the vault? I guarantee he started running towards her before she even left the ground. The most obvious tell would be if she was reaching the line before the spring board on the wrong foot, or was too far back from it. However he could have noticed it even before that from something just being "off" about the run up and he might not be able to tell you what was "off" about it, he just knew it was not right.
Worst case isn’t paralysis it’s death they can literally die. However, it is amazing what coaches and spotters do they can see it going wrong before it even happens.
I truly believe that a major reason behind the fearlessness they have to do these acrobatics is because of the faith and trust they have in their spotters! Without them, there would definitely be a large uptick in major injuries related to gymnastics. Thanks to all the individuals who help with keeping our gymnasts safe!❤
My sister is a gymnast, the spotters are amazing! My sister got 9th and 2nd in the USA Nationals last June, I tell her how proud of her I am, our adoptive mom passed away almost 4 years ago.Our dad doesn't understand much about gymnastics. He had no sister's, but him and his 5 brothers were farmers. So I can't really blame him for not knowing much about the sport. 😂
@@Kalah-ve4ncI watch some of the Olympics. I have no clue what the judges are looking for! So I just judge the entire routine on sticking the landing or dismount! Wow, guess I've learned something over the years, theres a landing and a dismount,,,, no? 😅 I just like to see the strength and athleticism! Good day.
not quite, conductors generally are teaching/assisting the musicians in learning the music and developing the artistic details from the first rehearsal up until the performance. spotters aren’t necessarily teaching or leading gymnasts, the gymnasts coaches are. though coaches will sometimes act as spotters.
@@evilymusicbut conductor doesnt have to be able to play all instruments but they have to understand how to play it and how the sound production works (?)

That last one was just help not a save and I love how these coaches and spotters are so good at their jobs they can just tell when a mishap is about to happen and is right there for the save 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Source- i can’t remember but i saw short of the clip like literally a few hours ago, and the kid flipping was commentating saying she was just worried for him lol.
These mistakes don't just happen, the execution or their position might be wrong from the beginning so one step out of what's expected they already prepare for the worst, it's still very fast and scary!
"Absolutely not. Leave it." It's like death was a little child saying "I want that!" And you have to sit there sternly and stoically dealing with the tantrum ❤😂 Spotters and coaches make or break confidence. Not just gymnasts, other sports too
Wow, good work on the spotters. There was at least 2 gymnasts who were saved from landing directly on their heads/necks. Knowing you have solid spotters has really got to be a huge moral/confidence booster for the athletes. Thanks for keep our athletes safe.
@@tabithanel9652 I just never thought about it I raised 6 girls and all were way too tall for gymnastics. They are into softball and MMA LOL I am glad they do have spotters or it could be very dangerous.
The dedication of these spotters are amazing. I broke my arm coming out of a backflip and no one was there, she was standing and talking to someone else. That was it for me.
@@unknownboy8202ummm no.. SHE didn’t let it happen! 😂 that’s the point of a “spotter”. Had SHE not moved the pad over her absolutely would have hurt his ankle at the very LEAST sprained it! Worst case tore or broke something. 🙄
Mad respect. Idk if people can even begin to understand the skill needed to see the minutiae. Then be able to safely stop all that kinetic energy! Takes muscle, brain, hand eye coordination, speed, accuracy and more! Unsung heroes keeping people safe AF.
With all the experience I had being a tumbler and gymnast (20+ years), you can basically “read” the pass. Almost to the point where as soon as they step down or put their hands down - we know. We’re checking the power put in, we’re looking at the height to see if it will match what the aim of the pass is, and you ALWAYS watch where the head and feet are. If the head is off line then the feet will follow and that’s when we can automatically tell. With fulls of any kind, you have to watch how the rotation starts and if the arms and legs are locked - if they’re not, that’s a huge problem and they will either bail in the pass or they’ll get confused in the air and that’s where we come in and grab them to reorient them. It’s a tough job and you have to be really experienced in order to read it. But, it’s so rewarding when you know you’ve stepped in on something that could’ve been catastrophic and stopped it ❤️🩷
@@Shrnirpledorp for me I only cried because it reminded me of when I wasn’t noticed as a kid so seeing these kids mistakes get noticed just made me tear up 🤷🏻♀️ but I won’t speak on her behalf but I think we all know doctors save more lives
🤸♂️ gymnastics is no joke, and the spotters that look after these brave young athletes are no joke either. 😊 way to be there, from grateful parents and families. And friends. Hooray
When I was 11, I was climbing a storage shelf 3-4 meters high to put something away, and my foot slipped. I was about to fall on my head, but my father was standing there and he caught my leg with one hand. I was inches above the marble floor that could have been my last day. That was the best save ever.
Spotters are the angels of these extreme sports! A few of these were a near miss from paralysis or even death. Especially that girl on the uneven bars! Mad respect to all athletes and their coaches. 👏🙌✊🙏
I had a spotter for years at my gym, his name was Brandon. As a young teenage girl, he never made me feel uncomfortable and I knew I didn’t need to fear attempting “big” tricks because no matter what, he would catch me if something wasn’t right. He was a rockstar, I still remember him almost a decade later : )
once saw a video of a spotter doing their training. it takes so much dedication, time and training to become that good. spotters deserve their flowers for keeping athletes safe. edit: spelling.
I went to a tumbling class with the 3rd guy and he was so excited to show us that video of him saving a girl. I was terrified to throw my full so he showed it to me to reassure me he would save me
How they can see what's about to happen in react that quickly is amazing. Their speed and strength is breathtaking as well. They're a very special and dedicated kind of athlete themselves!!
i will never understand how they are seeing the flaw and getting prepared to catch them…
It’s more of that you can see how much height they are getting for flips, to see if they will be able to push it over all the way. Then the trampoline and vault, you can see them ver off to one side, and the bar, her arms were bending and she didn’t have the strength to do the full rotation.

I imagine it's like predicting a bottle flip.
Practice
It's obvious if you know what you're looking for. Focus on the rotation to height ratio
It’s the out of placement, the lean and how they put in control.
The guy that saved the kid from landing on his head was incredible.
But still, they should come up with safer invironment !!!
@@johcoolpfeffer7831bro what do you mean that's about as safe as it gets without it being a foam pit

Your coach is an amazing spotter,mentor coach, and supporters of all her "kids" she is an amazing human!
do you think those are all the same people?
her?
Wtf you saw a single clip of 5 different spotters??
The first spotter looked irritated that she had to flex her skills that hard 😂👌🏾💪🏾
It’s a guy
No it’s a woman actually, and believe it or not she was actually asking if he was okay cuz she was worried.
Source- i can’t remember but i saw short of the clip like literally a few hours ago, and the kid flipping was commentating saying she was just worried for him lol.
Right? She has like major angry vibe and I’m like what, cause the bitch had to move the mat? Looks like it was her job anyway 😂!
You can see him listening to her before they cut the vid like "uh oh, she's upset," 😅
Они заранее видят угол падения и направление движения прыжка...молодцы! Скольким спортсменам спасли жизни и здоровье😊🎉❤
サポーター達の身を挺して守る素晴らしさに、敬意を表します
I will never know how they knew they needed to catch them, but 100% respect for these guys who saved many from severe injuries
It is very simple! They have also been at their times gymnasts.
These mistakes don't just happen, the execution or their position might be wrong from the beginning so one step out of what's expected they already prepare for the worst, it's still very fast and scary!
I will always take a false save over a failed one.
Good luck getting anywhere in a Gymnastic career then.
@@zp-4373he'll prob get farther than someone with a broken spine
@zp-4373 id rather take longer to rise up than to rise up quickly with the risk of falling down any second
@@zp-4373how are they supposed to get anywhere if they're dead, what
@@zp-4373 i bet this guy eats McDonald's 45.6 times in a day 💀
I miss these days, coaching was hard, but very rewarding.
Хвала этим людям!!! Сколько детей могли травмироваться ... Высший профессионализм 🙏
I love the 'nope' way of grabbing the gymnast. I know it's a reaction, but just grabbing them out of midair is so funny to me.😂
"Absolutely not. Leave it."
It's like death was a little child saying "I want that!" And you have to sit there sternly and stoically dealing with the tantrum ❤😂
Spotters and coaches make or break confidence. Not just gymnasts, other sports too
i remember so many times where i thought i had it and then you’re just being grabbed out of mid air and you’re like “oh hi, so i did not have it then”
"You're not that guy pal"
aand you have been cancelled. try again later
@@bradhaines3142You gotta stop letting your intrusive thoughts win Brad
The 2nd to the last one is really saved her life... good job, coach!
how
oh im dumb
She was headed to land directly on the top of her head, that would have paralysed her. @@affedos
@@WhoDaresWinso7 that wasnt the last one
Thank you for saving the ones, who needed it! ❤️ 🙏 ♥️ 💕 💗 💙 ❤️ 🙏 ♥️ 💕 💗 💙 ❤️ 🙏 😊😊😊🎉🎉🎉
Spotters are probably the most important people on the mat. Not only do they save lives, they also save careers.
Really puts into focus how dangerous gymnastics can be. These athletes and their teams are so impressive.
Wow, good work on the spotters. There was at least 2 gymnasts who were saved from landing directly on their heads/necks. Knowing you have solid spotters has really got to be a huge moral/confidence booster for the athletes. Thanks for keep our athletes safe.
Когда я занимался ,отсутствие такого тренера помешало мне развиваться дальше ,и страх падения побеждал каждый раз
As a retired gymnast. These people are amazing. Thanks for all you do ❤️😊
Not much different from reckless driving
All this time I thought a spotter was someone who helps you get that extra set and pulls the weights off your neck when you put too much on the bar.
@@Corey-ek9mk
No, you're right, that is a spotter, it's just a different type of spotter.
@@tabithanel9652 I just never thought about it I raised 6 girls and all were way too tall for gymnastics. They are into softball and MMA LOL I am glad they do have spotters or it could be very dangerous.
When the spotter saves one in an event, it should be its own medal
The dedication of these spotters are amazing. I broke my arm coming out of a backflip and no one was there, she was standing and talking to someone else. That was it for me.
These spotters are spot on! Saving these young gymnasts from severe injuries. Kudos to them.
I absolutely loved the spotter catch of the little boy in red. Such perfect timing. 👌
Yeah that was too suave
👍👍👍👍👍
Nah... Its called momentum
It could be part of a dance
Russian school of gymnastics, absolutely the best ❤
massive respect to these spotters. this gotta take so much skill and hard work.
Absolutely brilliant trainers, they see everything, in the blink of an eye, for every catch. ❤
The first woman already calculating his mistake 😅. Amazing spotter. She's the boss
2nd and the last one are far better
Her face was hilarious 😂😂😂
@@unknownboy8202doesnt matter he could have broke he ankle on the springs
@@Panda-tr9go but he didn't let it happen right?
@@unknownboy8202ummm no.. SHE didn’t let it happen! 😂 that’s the point of a “spotter”. Had SHE not moved the pad over her absolutely would have hurt his ankle at the very LEAST sprained it! Worst case tore or broke something. 🙄
Last spotter is unbelievable ❤
He didn't stop the flow
Forreal
He slowly helped her learn where she went wrong cause he spotted it no pun intended.
Yo that’s my coach
WOW incredible I never had any idea what it takes to be a good spotter and just how vital their job is Awesome talent and dedication ❤
Mad respect. Idk if people can even begin to understand the skill needed to see the minutiae. Then be able to safely stop all that kinetic energy! Takes muscle, brain, hand eye coordination, speed, accuracy and more! Unsung heroes keeping people safe AF.
With all the experience I had being a tumbler and gymnast (20+ years), you can basically “read” the pass. Almost to the point where as soon as they step down or put their hands down - we know. We’re checking the power put in, we’re looking at the height to see if it will match what the aim of the pass is, and you ALWAYS watch where the head and feet are. If the head is off line then the feet will follow and that’s when we can automatically tell. With fulls of any kind, you have to watch how the rotation starts and if the arms and legs are locked - if they’re not, that’s a huge problem and they will either bail in the pass or they’ll get confused in the air and that’s where we come in and grab them to reorient them. It’s a tough job and you have to be really experienced in order to read it. But, it’s so rewarding when you know you’ve stepped in on something that could’ve been catastrophic and stopped it ❤️🩷
Thank you for that thorough explanation.
@@AnnaMaeBullock
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing....... 'thanks alot'.....…lol!!
This made me cry. Spotters out here saving lives. Appreciate your spotter today! Give them a hug. Say thank you
OMG I WASNT THE ONLY ONE WHO CRIED?!
lmao seriously. a lil tear welled up In my right eye
how are saves with phonk music in the background making you cry
I shouldn’t have to be the one 2 say this but get a f kin grip god imagine when u realise doctors save life’s
@@Shrnirpledorp for me I only cried because it reminded me of when I wasn’t noticed as a kid so seeing these kids mistakes get noticed just made me tear up 🤷🏻♀️ but I won’t speak on her behalf but I think we all know doctors save more lives
I'm just gonna say WOW THIS SHORT CLIP SHOW HOW THEY SAVED THESE GYMNASTICS ATHLETES SO TO YOUR SPOTTERS ARE AMAZING 👏 BLESS THEM AND KEEP SPOTING
I love that they FORESEE the next few milliseconds.... And they react FAST. kudos to the spotters making this sport quite a bit more safe.
I'm just learning how to coach and spot for gymnastics and this video gave me chills. I hope I can be as badass and strong as these spotters!!!
Don't worry, with practice, anything is possible. Keep practicing and you can be even more badass than them!
Have a wonderful day!
Good luck homie!!
Good luck! I wish u the best for ur gurney
It gave me goosebumps for sure
I’ve always admired spotters…their job seems easy at first glance but after videos like these it definitely gives a different perspective
🤸♂️ gymnastics is no joke, and the spotters that look after these brave young athletes are no joke either. 😊 way to be there, from grateful parents and families. And friends. Hooray
Amazing how they care very well their athletes
Big mama in the beginning saved that young man from a serious ankle injury!! Absolute pro.
What are you talking about? She has no coordination and failed with putting that mat the right way.
@@romanjacobs1794 and yet hes still safe. She didnt fail. You seem upset for no reason
@@StardustZee was it where he landed that made this a save?
@@StardustZeeBruh
@@Low...111 i dont really know much about olympics since it doesnt really interest me but from my uneducated perspective it seem he is safe?
It’s amazing to have these type of ppl on your team bc the gymnasts can push their limits and try new things without fear of hurting themselves.
Some of these guys are literally lifesavers. Preventing people from devastating head or neck injuries
Gymnasts require agility and thought throughout their routines. Spotters require similar decisions in a split second. Thanks for being there!
I honestly love watching how they take care and look after the gymnasts. Spotters are true life savers.
When I was 11, I was climbing a storage shelf 3-4 meters high to put something away, and my foot slipped. I was about to fall on my head, but my father was standing there and he caught my leg with one hand. I was inches above the marble floor that could have been my last day. That was the best save ever.
sounds like something outta one piece.
@@aliciawelch3127 but it's real
@@techteam3923 THE ONE PIECE IS REAALLLL!!!!!
Да всем похер
Awesome dad!!
Spotters are the angels of these extreme sports! A few of these were a near miss from paralysis or even death. Especially that girl on the uneven bars! Mad respect to all athletes and their coaches. 👏🙌✊🙏
I had a spotter for years at my gym, his name was Brandon. As a young teenage girl, he never made me feel uncomfortable and I knew I didn’t need to fear attempting “big” tricks because no matter what, he would catch me if something wasn’t right. He was a rockstar, I still remember him almost a decade later : )
once saw a video of a spotter doing their training. it takes so much dedication, time and training to become that good. spotters deserve their flowers for keeping athletes safe.
edit: spelling.
...safe 😂
@@DuderofDudeness 😂 this shit makes no sense the way they wrote it 😂
@@juarezderrick9647 god forbid i forget to add a word jfc
@@-chloe-8728 the most important word 😂
@@juarezderrick9647 i'm glad you're getting so much enjoyment from this. you're a very easy man to entertain.
I went to a tumbling class with the 3rd guy and he was so excited to show us that video of him saving a girl. I was terrified to throw my full so he showed it to me to reassure me he would save me
How they can see what's about to happen in react that quickly is amazing. Their speed and strength is breathtaking as well. They're a very special and dedicated kind of athlete themselves!!
Everyone Deserves a Mentor, like these saviours🙂
Experience is priceless. It helps you see the move before it even happens. Power to the these spotters
These people are professionals.They are there to protect and save. No fear for themselves.Just want to be there to protect.
All these spotters are awesome along with the gymnasts. Again AWESOME !!!
This is absolutely amazing!
The last guy absorbed it and took it for himself🔥🔥🔥
