Our coaches are just the opposite. They always add things in routines at the last minute in a meet. For a gymnast and parent it is frustrating but the coaches have there best interest. They really want them to be able to adapt to quickly to changes and growing at meets as well as in the gym...

Thank you! Yes, I can see the difference! You are absolutely correct.

If you have had COVID 2020 , 2021 and 2022 that had a tremendous affect on training and scheduled meets. Broke your foot in 2022 which I missed 6 meets only coming back to States and qualify for Regionals but not Nationals. When updating your bio. , should any of this be included? I have not had...

Drop Back "Elites" vs. Regular Level 10's

You are so right. Its has gotten very competitive. You are so right!!!. It has really gotten so competitive. That's so interesting, that you have recieved the same letter. My DD didn't apply or contact them. She had written an essay and her teacher submitted it. Just thinking about all the...

She has been an honor roll student since the 4th grade... taking AP classes since middle school. She will graduate in 2024 with more than over a year of college courses. She has recieved a letter from Harvard, to study during the summer online and take part in a week on campus with some of the...

That is exactly what we are experiencing. Our gym has 6 Elites LV 10's and next season it will be 10 Elites. Our DD is a great gymnast but is overshadowed by the excellent ones, some which are in the same age group and sessions at meets with her. It gets very discouraging. She never wanted to do...

Thank you so much!!! Appreciate all the suggestions and insight you have. Awesome!

Looking for suggestions on how to build confidence and motivatation. There have been several elite gymnasts that are not doing elite meets anymore and just the regular competition meets. Most have been accepted by colleges already. They compete in the same competitions that a non-elite gymnast...

We left her original gym because they did not teach pass Level 8. She had been with this gym since she was 2 yrs old. We researched other gyms in the area before she started Level 8 season so she could train for the skills needed to start the season. We would have only had another year there.

I think you may have misunderstood that part. At the gym they are all grouped together.and they practice as a team. The time that is given during practice is not equal to those who are considered the "favorite" gymnast. In meets the are separated but in the same sessions. It's quite clear...

This is not the case sadly as you describe. Just to set the record straight. My DD is a level 10 gymnast and has placed 1st on States and Regionals mant times. She has made the Top 100 list for 2 years in a row. She is NOT Elite, TOPS, HOPE, nor has she been to a JO meet. Why not, if she that...

The best coaches make all of their gymnasts feel like each one of them is a crucial part of the team, not our gym. These coaches have favorites who get special privileged. Professional coaches of gymnast should not play favorites but they DO!. Fairness is a process—not a result. So, when a...

We have had several meetings with the owner, who coaches as well. We are told "Trust the process, things will get better." Others have had issues with this same coach. Saying something gets you NO where. The girls have learned to deal with adversity in the gym and have developed a work around...

My Daughter was humiliated in front of her teammates and her coach is refusing to coach her? Moving her to a lower level to practice with level 6 when she is a Level 10. It's a incident of he said she said. My daughter was the bigger person and apologized with no acceptance from Coach...
