I love the water bottle idea! Also, maybe a gift certificate to GK for $20 would work for anyone :)

I'm starting to get really excited(and nervous) for competing this weekend!! I am nervous about floor because my routine isn't finished yet.. It'll have to be finished this week! I'm the only one in my division though so it's more like an exhibition than a competition haha. Oh well, wish me...

Thanks for the advice everyone! I guess I should talk to her... I'm kind of nervous to because she's always been a "my way or the highway" type :) Any tips for how to approach her?

Sorry if this is really long ;) Anyways, to fill you in a bit, there is no other clubs in my area, an I'm the highest level (trying for 10 with aspirations for elite) and the oldest (by 2+ years) in my club. I am having issues with my coach, to the point where I cannot stand her in the gym...

I am training to become a high level gymnast, and while I don't lack a whole lot in skills, I lack strength. I am the only one in my group that can't do 2 rope climbs in a row (without feet, we can use legs). I can do one, but my arms are too exhausted for the second one. I was wondering if...

To all the stressed out, competioned out, drama-d out parents, to all the frustrated, finger-crossing, worried coaches, and to the fearful, anxious, frustrated gymmies... Breathe in, breathe out And remember it is just gymnastics! I know it is hard to believe, but the world will keep turning if...

Alright.. bear with me now lol! So I am level 6 at the moment, but registered for level 7 in a meet in 8 weeks. I know I have a lot of work cut out for me, and am trying my best at every practice. My coach is starting to drive me nuts! She is saying things like I suck, that I am never going to...

What level is considered national in Canada?

This reminds me of a lot of stuff that has happened in my gym in the past. One time a girl had to do 300 pushups on top of our normal conditioning, maybe about 100 pushups because she missed her vault. Did this help? She has never missed her vault again, but her arms must of been so sore!

Thanks for the suggestions, but I didn't set the deadline, my coach did. She said she won't spot after thursday, but I'm not quite sure if she's 100% true on that one. Oh, and I do need them by the next meet, I am a level 8 and bars is the only event I am lacking on.

Ok, My coach was spotting me giants, and when I was on the downswing going into the flyaway, my hand slipped and I layouted onto my face with my feet over my head and skidded across the mat. :)

Hi everybody! Haven't been on here for a while! My situation: I am training giants at my gym, I have got until thursday to get them (training everyday until then) and I have a rip on both hands:mad:. One rip is about the size of a penny:eek: and the other is about the size of my pinky nail. I...

Ok, I probably have wayy to many to name, so I will just name a few: 1. When I was first learning my backhandspring on the high beam, I accidentily did a backhandspring swing down! 2. We were vaulting with the mini tramp, and I slipped on the board, my knees hit the tramp, my head hit the vault...

That is too funny!!! Whenever I get rips, I always hear from my parents, are you not wearing your grips.. they dont understand..

Her coaches might not think she is ready for it, and I dont know, it could be amazing or scary looking, but I am oretty sure there is a good reason.
