Hey, DD is level 10 senior who has put on a significant amount of weight. I am NOT saying she is fat. She is not. She is muscle. That said, her eating habits are horrible these days, which IS playing a factor. Any suggestions on how to handle this delicate subject with a teenage young...

Does anyone have any experience having their gymnast attend the College Bound Showcase? Just looking for defeatism as to what I can Expect. Bummed our coach isn’t going and worries that will play a negative factor...

Just wondering....

Do you know how many placements for Nationals?

And - does it matter that she's never competed level 10 at State?

DD is a late Level 10 in her Jr year. She has reached out and communicated with most colleges and few have responded with courtesy responses. With another one or two encouraging her to send videos and keep in touch. I just don't know if a recruitment agency would have better luck? Would it...

Interesting!

Which is why I am confused and frustrated. :)

It sure is frustrating and challenging trying to figure all this out! Lol. I guess for my DD - she just has to keep contacting all of them....?

Since most Div. 2 and 3 schools do not offer scholarships - do they have anything "else" to offer? Just wondering....

So - on the NCAA WAG Rosters/Commits spreadsheet - at the end of each year it will show (for example) 1 open or 11/12 -- what is that referring to? And....if they have a "full" list of names but still show 4 open - what does that mean? Thank you.

Well, it has been a bit since I have been on here (had issues logging on). Anyway, you may remember DD was diagnosed in January with a L5 Pars Defect (stress fracture). DD went back to the doctor on Monday and was given the all clear. Now, her physical therapist hasn't - he still says no hard...

Hey. We are 16 weeks post diagnosis of a L5 Pars Defect (stress fracture). DD is still doing PT and was just approved to start doing tap swings. But no impact or back extension stuff. She experienced pain.... Any idea what recovery will feel like for her? The stress fracture itself should...

She has not done anything --- NOTHING --- since January 17th, although I believe the actual date of injury was January 9th. The MRI was done on January 18th which lead to the diagnosis of L5 Pars defect. Due to the continued pain (which hasn't decreased at all) we went to another doctor who...

Okay - so bone/ct scan showed it pretty active and acute - spondylolysis without spondylolisthesis. So - I am gathering it is really nothing "more" than the original diagnosis of a stress fracture. They will brace it and start physical therapy....out for another 6 weeks though.... Damn this...
