Practice, practice and more practice
The first thing you need to become an Olympic trampolinist is physical ability. Start by learning the basics with simpler techniques, then learn to execute each move flawlessly, training your body to gain stamina and balance.
Build a varied workout routine
Working out on a trampoline is good, but you’ll need to do more than that if you want to go for the gold. This means expanding your workout routine into other forms of exercise. Incorporate cardio and weight training with a primary (though not limited) focus on your calves, thighs and core.
Start eating like a champion
To build and maintain an athletic body, you must develop a healthy menu, and stick to it every day. It’s essential your intake includes protein and nutrients required to maintain high energy levels, repair and grow muscle, and keep the body functioning as you exercise.
Find a trampoline trainer
Start by searching for a gym that accommodates to, or specialises in, trampoline activity. The facility may be able to help you find a professional trainer. Once you have a trainer on your side, you can begin working toward your first competitions.
Become a competitive trampoline athlete
You must work your way up if you want to prove yourself worthy of competing in the Olympics. Begin by participating in small, local trampoline events, then work your way up to larger tournaments. Not only will this refine your skills, but gain the attention of professionals in the industry who may be able to help you move up the ranks toward the Olympics.
