    When my son was a L7/8/9 - every summer he couldn't do twisting on floor (after competing fulls/double fulls all season) - and he couldn't do layouts without wanting to twist - I think it was 3 or 4 years in a row. I did nothing - except remind him to chill and it would come back. His coaches...

    Parents Giants on P Bars

    The first time (at 9/10) when he was tiny & isn’t have to worry about hitting his feet- I’d say about a year of drills and then a few months of actually doing then to be confident. The second time- after growing lots- about 4 months of refiguring everything out.

    MAG Does your son tell you anything about practice?

    I ask - "how was practice?" He says - "OK" and then does whatever it is kids do on their phones - mostly reply to emails & hatch dragons I think. Once in a while - I get gossip on his teammates social lives and I did get to overhear a phone call from his friends who were at an AP study session...
