I have spent my life in the sport of gymnastics and had such a strong desire that it took me to places I have never dreamed.  Not only did this great sport allow me to reach my dream of becoming an Olympian, it made me an Olympic Gold Medalist.  The greatest asset it provided was the opportunity to share my experiences with my students and all others in any sport wanting and yearning for positive direction and motivation.

Here, you will find tons of great information on gymnastics, tumbling, exercise, and all sports in general.  In this website, I  provide information for students, parents, and coaches who will surely benefit from the content.  My blogs and video’s are created to assist with development on skills, technique, trends, spotting, safety, counseling, and anything else that can help those who love sports.

I am available for clinics, seminars, and camps.  I often give motivational speeches to both youth and corporate groups.  The information and experiences I share are lateral in almost any industry.  To become successful, there are basic fundamentals to follow in any type of journey.  Whether you are an athlete with strong desires to succeed, a parent who is helping their child to succeed, a person striving to succeed in business – the motivation is the same.

I have made it a priority to educate and help all those interested in becoming successful.  It is not easy to become a champion and there are always many hurdles to overcome.

“Only through passion, desire, and loving what your are doing are you going to have the motivation it takes to put out the effort needed for success”- Scott Johnson

If you are a progam that entails tumbling training, it is emparative that the students learn and develop a strong foundation of fundamental skills to ensure safe and positive progression.  My Beginner Tumbling Training Guide is the perfect tool for such development.  To order your copy, go to:  http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0847D3VQC

About Scott Johnson

Scott Johnson started his gymnastics career at the age of 10 when his family moved to Colorado Springs, CO from Cincinnati, Ohio. He was a “quick study” and became the Colorado State AA Champion by the time he was a high school senior at Colorado’s Wasson High School. Scott had a dream of becoming an Olympian since the early start of his gymnastics experience.  That dream came true in the Summer of 1984.

In the 1984 Summer Olympic Games in Los Angeles, the men’s gymnastics team –  “Boys of Summer” as they had been nicknamed, emerged from nowhere to win the title. The historic win marked the first American gold medal in decades and the first team medal of any kind since the early ’30s. Scott Johnson was a member of this team.

Johnson was a major player for the US National team throughout most of the 1980s. A three-time National champion, Johnson made history at the 1987 Pan Am Games. Not only did he become the AA champion, but in doing so he broke the Pan Am Games all around record. Even more impressive is that he became the first gymnast in Pan Am Games history to win medals on every event.

Johnson competed for the University of Nebraska for a fair share of his elite career. As a Husker, Johnson brought glamour and pride to his school, earning All American 11 times and 4 NCAA National Titles.

Scott Johnson went on to compete for the US as Captain of the 1988 Seoul Olympics, becoming one of a handful of two-time Olympians in American gymnastics. That same year, he was one of ten athletes nominated for the prestigious James E. Sullivan award.

Following the 1988 Olympics, Scott “retired” to Florida and began his gymnastics coaching career.

Scott currently owns and operates Scott Johnson’s Tumble & Gymnastics Academy in Florida while continuing to support American gymnastics as well as promote gymnastics and sports among young people. “Scott teaches how to turn negatives into positives, and he believes this is his greatest asset”.  Through his Blogs and Training Manuals, he has been able to help and guide athletes from around the world to achieve their own hopes and goals for success.
