This trip has been put together and planned by Hong Jiang,
professor Jibai Feng, and Eric Totman. Be sure to check out this great team's
credentials on the
YOUR HOSTS page. I came up with the idea
of this trip and started planning for it a year ago after talking to other
coaches (at the Finish Line) while attending a National Team Camp at the Olympic
Training Center.
It has been my vision to see coaches from around this country
come together on this trip for an unforgettable adventure. This idea became a
reality after talking with Hong Jiang at VISA Championships this past summer.
Hong organized a trip to China with a group of gymnasts and parents from this
gym last summer and has offered to help organizing this trip.
Professor Jibai Feng has been very instrumental in China getting together the
details needed to make this trip happen. We all hope that you join us on this
great endeavor.
