Very impressive!
Thats super cool man. My friend was also at nationals the same time as you. His name is Jouqain.(don't know if its the right spelling). But really good job and your great now and will be the very best in the future. Good luck
Great video as always! I still can not get my head around your inlocate on rings as a beginning element 😮 Is it more flexibility or strength that is required? Or somewhat the same? Whenever I tried doing it for fun I basically must have looked like a 400lbs person trying to do a pull-up 🥲
Why vault catch instead of tkatchev?
Just a change in feel
I feel like the judging seemed slightly off… I think day 1 vault was better than day 2 but didn’t score as high, and day 1 highbar seemed like it should’ve definitely a 12, or at least a high 11 at the minimum. I’m no judge of course though 😜
Highbar judges at nationals were really tough
This meet you really showed perseverance, obviously it wasn’t easy finishing up after many mistakes that are clearly frustrating, but you pushed through still made it to champs and got 3rd on pommel. Proud of you!
Some highs, some lows. Certainly not your best, But damn it, you are so GOOD, it seems like you lost your focus (as if I could do even 1/10 as well) Show them all the CHAMPION that you are. So good to see you posting again.
Riding the crest of the wave right here. Great to see the events and you weave a compelling story too. Are those two nat team meets this sommer?
Dedication and hard work will take you far! With the time and effort you are putting in, it’ll pay off at champs.
I’m glad you were still able to make championships even with a rough meet, it was a close one 😅. Wishing you luck for that national team, I believe in you!
Amazzzzing! Love watching your videos!
Glad you like them! Thank you!
Not sure how I ended up here. But. Wow. I watched the video when you were in level 4. To level 8. Now I’m here. You rock ! 👍
Thank you! The grind is real!
Good job as always
Thanks, as always :D
I think you need to update your profile picture my friend! You have grown up so much over the past year. Great meet!!
You're probably right. I guess I have Senior Pictures coming up soon :D
Awesome meet, excited for nationals! Any idea where you might want to go for college?
I have a few picked out as my "short list". But this spring and summer are my key times for talking with colleges.
@@EthanCoxGymnasticswhat are the ones on your “short list”?
hmmm, keeping that hush hush for a bit longer
On Rings, fix the head position on the inverted hang, and turn the rings out in your handstand, and do handstands, Handstands, and HANDSTANDS to buildup strength! Since you are gonna be taller you gonna have to work on ya strength! 😁👍👍🇺🇸 Your swing is nice! 😁👍👍🇺🇸
Pig was great! You gonna be a real good pigman, ... just more extension and perfect form! 😁👍👍🇺🇸
Super coolness! You got a new vibe here.
I appreciate that!
Hbar was good! You might wanna keep you head neutral instead of ducking it so hard on alot of the skills! 😁👍👍🇺🇸
Pbars was good! You could do a little more "stalder" drop on the peach! 😁👍👍🇺🇸
On vault, fix your run, hurdle, and hand placement! 😁👍👍🇺🇸 The flippin part is good! 😁
Salto is still wrecking shop as usual but this was their last year in region 4, we now join 5280 in region 2. just replacing 1 ridiculous gym for another haha.
We're all friendly though! There's no defense in Gymnastics :D See you around!
Awesome job you’ve improved so much from level 8
Thank you
Hi Ethan! My son Robert (9) loves your videos! We've been checking in to see how you've been doing all season. Great high bar!! Robert is getting ready for Regionals (Level 4, D2) and he's still having trouble on his kip and half turn. Got any tips? Watching you is great motivation! Thanks!
For his high bar skills he just needs to do what his coaches say they know what’s best for him and where he’s at and I don’t, but it’s always good to keep good body positions
Thanks Ethan! @@EthanCoxGymnastics
holy smokes have they made the early levels harder. my son is a level 4 competing in these same events (iceberg, ski-u-mah) this year and the mandatory routines have changes a lot.
The level numbers have changed. Old level 4 is similar to new level 3 and so on.
catching up on these. the rings on this one made me say "woah" out loud.
Thanks
im 15 turning 16 in may im leval 9 doing basic routines is there still hope for me to get to your leval at some point
I believe so. Different people hit their stride at different times. It's about both the physical and mental sides of the sport.
That jam on high bar 😮💨
My shoulders 😡
You explained it better than my sons gym coach. Thank you
Great to hear! Might be slightly outdated, but the basic premise is still true.
Great meet You demonstrated a high level confidence and control in every event. As a spectator we only see the final performance, not the HOURS of pain and practice that allows you to make the impossible seem effortless. So very proud of YOU. YOU will dominate at regional's... Believe it.
Thank you a lot!
How come you took out tkatchev and added Yamawaki instead? Banger highbar, especially after a rough meet, nice work!
Center of gravity changes on me... Gotta re-find the feeling for it
Good show
Thanks!
Good stuff. Its a fine line as you know. You are training every day and fit as can be. There is a lot that goes on with the mind and at the level you are at, you should be doing mind prep work as part of your training. This includes things like guided visualisation and positive mind chatter. There's a lot more research about mind work so getting a generally overview of what's what is the starting point. Hope you look more into this.
Thank you. This is a great reminder. I used to do it a lot more often
Ethan=future stars👍💪
hey Ethan great video. btw on your last vault of the video what did you score it looked solid.
Not sure. It was a long time ago. We might be able to find out if we go back and watch level 8 playlists
Great show! Are those pommels made of metal?
Some sort of hard plastic.
@@EthanCoxGymnastics oh ok. they look shiny
Your pommel routine was super clean, other than the fall of course. Would’ve been a 14.2 without the fall which is insane! Nice work.
Thank you so much!! That's the plan, right 😜
Good Job Ethan! -Greetings from Jon and Riley
Thanks. Hello Jon & Riley
As usual. the power and grace that you are able to bring to all of your events is amazing. You had so much speed and height on your vault... I'm surprised you kept it in the gym! You are dam good and getting better. All the best in future meets😎
Thank you!
Look at all those NINES!
Ya. I should be able to, since I've done them so many years.
How is it already time for state?? Where did the time go 😅
I know. Season is flying by
You are putting in work! Even though the upgraded routines weren’t perfect, you still scored very well. Once they get clean these will be some monster routines!
Thank you. Time to put it all together.
Stellar sets! Thanks for doing the on-cam explanation.
Thank you!
Nice routines! Now takeout the "pump" cast at the beginning of your ring routine and get the hand alignment on your roundoff in line so you don't go cockeyed on your tumbling passes! 😱😁🤪👍👍🇺🇸
Really great improvement from last years ETC. and congrats on making finals for pommel, and doing well!
Thanks. I agree. Also, last year I had the flu just days before and hadn't eaten much until comp day.
What does it mean by “final year of region 9” are they redrawing the lines for which states are in which region?
Yes. They are going down to 6 regions and redrawing the lines.
Colorado is going into Region 2 which is most of Region 4 and current Region 2. AK, WA, ID, MT, WY, CO, NE, IA, ND, SD, MN, OR
Your full in on floor is looking so clean this year! Is the double double coming soon 👀
🤔
Nice to see you consistently getting more and more scores of 13+. That will be really strong for nationals!
Yes. I think I can get all 6 in that range and beyond... Then for consistency
I am just so dam proud of you.Your mental and physical strength show a maturity far beyond your chronological age. Stay safe, stay sane and enjoy every moment(cuts,bumps, bruises and crashes included, oh yeah...) CONGRATULATIONS!!
Thank you. This means a lot.
Banger sets. Looks like a lot of personal bests this meet.
Thanks
