Y'all she quit. She thought about it (and I mean thought about it), weeks and weeks of Deciding. For those of you who don't know, she has a stress fracture in her back and this is why she quit. She was so good, she tried so hard at every practice, and she got so far. And shes so sad. Gymnastics...

Yes definitely not. I guess in some way when I think of quiting I feel quilt. Almost as if I "have" to compete this season.

But what do you mean by healthy?

Thanks!

I need help... I'm 15, I am a gymnast, and I have worked super hard to be where I am right now. I'm proud of all my accomplishments and I proved to myself through this sport that I truly can do anything I put my effort towards. But, there's a down side... First lets go way back. I started...

Ok, DD has decided to finally try grips! However, are the holes supposed to be so wonky looking? And how far down on her finger should they go?

Hey all! So DD is training Platinum and bars is her weakest event. She has a clear hip and is working connecting the kip to it (but shes lacking power). Anyway, she rips every. Single. Time. She does bars. I am not even exaggerating. I don't know what to do. She wants to train them and she...

DD is 16. This is most definitely a learning experience and I know she was hurt by her coaches' words.

I never knew that! I will definitely be looking into this. I haven't heard anyone else dealing with this besides my DD.

I get what you're saying, but the coach was definitely gaslighting my daughter.

Ok, I have dreaded this one. LOTS and LOTS of mixed answers. My DD is a super hard working, determined, hard headed gal. She knows what she wants and she gets it. She takes everything she does seriously; gymnastics and she coaches gymnastics. She coaches for her gym and they said that she is...

Alright, well now DD has her homework. ;) Thank-you!

DD LOVES Plum Practice wear. They are so soft, comfortable, and cute. She's tried GK but she says that Plum is just more comfortable for the longer training hours.

That makes sense! So I guess she really needs to practice her conecceted kips then, right?

Yeah, that makes sense. Do you have any tips for the drop kips (like how to shift the wrists faster)? DD really struggles with shifting her wrists on the drop kips. She's done so many attempts but she's never made one. :(
