In your other post you stated you could barely do a glide swing because you were 'tall' nobody is too tall to do a glide swing if they have a strong core. Perhaps start with some core strength exercises.

I would be interested to know age and level to help with context. I try to prevent big team commiserations after falls - if an athlete is hurt, they usually need space not hugs. If they got a fright a quick are you okay/support and then giving them time and space to process what happened. If...

In all honestly there are many fantastic drills out there easy to find for any coach/athlete. Often you see these same drills being done very poorly in gyms because what matters is the technical information from the coach. So yes we could give you drills to do at home - but it likely won't help...

Probably also to do with financial for Iowa, pay out contract, you resign, we don't release review and you don't sue us for unfair dismissal. Most of what I have seen so far is supportive of athletes with complaints, the fact that staff also had concerns is rather telling. Apparently none of...

I know with IClass you can choose how many stars/labels you want from the management side of things. From looking at the Jackrabbit promotional material they have a 3 tick option (started/tested/achieved). It would be worthwhile contacting them to see if it is possible to alter this criteria...

It's the FIG that creates the rules for gymnastics used internationally at the highest level... not USAG. Hopes is only a USAG program.

Yes earlier this year, some federations (European) are apparently pre-preparing assuming it will go ahead. Some assumed the US was aware due to the low number of athletes trying junior elite this year but equally that is not uncommon in an Olympic year.

You need to guide her in making this a positive change. That might be trying some other activities on the free day or just extra time together.

I only know of two instances where families were going to be asked to leave because of the child's constant nasty behavior. In both situations I believe the families (parents also bullies) basically saw the writing on the wall from the meetings and left for elsewhere of their own accord before...

Getting assessed by a re-hab pro would be ideal if at all possible - so you can be assessed and have targeted flexibility and strength work Here is a short video of activities Longer in-depth information

Being in an over-full group is not ideal. Potentially less time on apparatus and attention. Given the injury issues, the full group ahead and the fact that within level six you can basically do level seven - I see no real issue with this, especially since you seem generally happy with the...

This is an excellent interview

What country are you located in?... UK? That information will help with getting the best answer.

I had a little browse through and in both these regions in some age groups there are girls going with scores in the 35's so they are being hurt just as much by the age grouping as regional split. One example was Bold gymnastics. The highlighted athlete hasn't outright qualified but her...

Does she enjoy training and her current training mates? If so, I would just leave her be for now unless you financially/logistically will struggle as a family. If she has expressed the desire to do other things then perhaps you can start a conversation about supporting her to find an option...
