Gymnastike is pleased to partner with Stickitmedia to share this story of an American family's opportunity to train in China. Nicholas Bock had his story featured on StickitMedia and uploaded the video here on gymnastike.
Bock is a devoted gym dad to two young men who train under Coach Guonian Wu at New Hope Gymnastics in Fountain Valley, CA. Young Evan is a Level 6 and was the 2010 Region I Future Stars champion in the 9-year-old division. Cameron is a Level 9 and a member of the Future Stars National Development Team. This past summer, the Bock family traveled to China with Coach Guonian to receive a personal and hands-on experience at a Chinese gymnastics school.
Nicholas thoroughly describes for us what a typical day is like for young Chinese gymnasts, who have been selected to live, study and train at a famous sports school. His boys trained for ten days alongside these young Olympic hopefuls. As you will see, its not all fun and games, as the young Chinese boys literally ÃÂtrain like their lives depend upon it.ÃÂ In a joint presentation with StickItMedia, the Bocks tell their very interesting story.
Many thanks to the Bock family (Nicholas, wife Jennifer, Cameron and Evan) for sharing their thrilling experience.
