They are - Team Scotland Women's Artistic: Emma White (City of Birmingham GC), Erin McLachlan (Diamonds GC), Amy Regan (City of Glasgow GC), Carly Smith (City of Glasgow GC) and Cara Kennedy (City of Glasgow GC), Team Scotland Men's Artistic: Liam Davie (City of Glasgow GC), Adam Cox (City of Glasgow GC), Daniel Keatings (Huntingdon Olympic GC), Frank Baines (Southport YMCA) and Daniel Purvis (Southport YMCA). Quite a few of the Gymnasts who compete for Scotland are based down South but great to see so many train regularly out of Glasgow GC. It's also really nice to see Adam Cox make the team because he has worked so hard to come back from retirement to make sure he got a place at his home Games. Here is each gymnast in Team Scotland in action:

Seeing their faces, literally shining with pride in themselves and happiness is amazing. Often, us coaches do not get the chance to sit down and actually chat about why we coach and what we love about it = because when we are in the gym, we are there to work.

The Celtic Cup and the all important Commonwealth Invitationals took place recently in Perth .

I had a genuine passion for the sport, and no previous experience was necessary, so I just went for it. I turned up to do the Assistant Gymnastics Coach course and I was terrified as it was way out of my comfort zone (I am a sales person!!).
