    Mental issues? Just plain frustrating...

    I agree with this completely. My daughter was notorious for this and she is a very high anxiety kid. I'm not a coach, but the simple solution is to keep a flip camera or iPhone handy. Tell her you'd like to video tape her with the correction so she can see when she is doing it right. If she is...

    ADHD & Gymnastics DD is struggling. Any ideas?

    Ask her pediatrician about an extended release medication. Mine lasts 10 to 12 hours and is used in children and adults.

    I don't want to see an xxxxxxxxx tear out of that eye! Coach says.

    Parents Parenting question involving gymnastics

    If you have a digital camcorder then you can video her. When you play it back do a frame by frame(slow motion). Sometimes they feel like they are making a correction but they don't know what they really did until they see it back. My 11 year old asks me to video at meets so she can see how she...

    What do you Do with Team Trophy

    We just give it to the person who has room in their car! But yes, they have let the girls that didn't place take it so they feel like they are an important part of the team. The winners have their own trophies and it encourages team spirit.

    Parents Physical training regimes?

    I wish my husband would work out with my daughters. He looks like The Rock as they struggle with pull ups! I think your enthusiasm is awesome and if she likes it, do a lot of ab and shoulder work with her own body weight. No dumbbells as this could tighten her flexibility and hinder her...
