    WAG Compete or not?

    DD is a new level 7 this year. First meet is tomorrow. She has felt really confident about floor, vault and beam, hit or miss with bar dismount. Wed night in practice she rolled her ankle on a beam full turn and fell. It hurt but they only hard bars left to do. We iced at home but I didnt...

    Parents How much sleep does your gymnast get in a weeknight?

    She gets out of public school at 2:30, has to wait at the school for me until 3:15. She gets all homework done during that time ( thankfully at this age -5th grade- that works. We drive straight from school to gym. Gym 4-7 5days a week. Home at 7:30. She then has until 9 for dinner, shower...

    Parents Question about recovery after wrist injury

    I would ask the Dr and coach about the tiger paws. Do you go back to dr again? We had to go back one month after cast removal for more xrays and he tested her range of motion. He was very very pleased and released us completely. The coach recommended the tiger paw but I know she plans to fade...

    Parents Question about recovery after wrist injury

    My DD (scored out of level 5 this summer) broke her wrist Aug 19th doing a BHS series on beam. Complete break through the growth plate!! She was in a cast 6 weeks. Continued to go to gym everyday for conditioning and stretch and learned the dance choreography of her floor routine. The cast...

    WAG First real injury

    Im so sorry the cast removal was delayed :( I know mine would have been devastated :( That is so hard. It seems SO long when your in the middle of it. We are now 7 weeks out of the cast and in so many ways it now seems so long ago. There are still rough spots and struggles and grip strength...

    Parents How often does your DS or DD watch gymnastics online (Youtube, Gymnastics website, etc.)?

    She goes in spurts but when she is in to watching its all the time like crazy on youtube. She has watched the 2012 Olympics so much she prob has everything that happens memorized. She watches national and world championships a lot too ( never college). This weekend she was watching the 1996...

    WAG Deduction for missing element - compulsory

    Oh and she is doing it as a "pike". I guess thats the right term?! LOL her body just didnt like the tuck and coach switched to a pike position (straight legs) and she is much more comfortable with that one. Has anyone else's DD done this ( or have you seen at a meet) ?

    WAG CGM Confession

    We have never done a private ever. A few do but its not real common in our gym. I have thought about it for certain skills and issues but my DD is one that does not react well to feeling pressured, thats my hesitation. I think for her it would put too much "spotlight" on her struggle. Im not...
