We are a “laid back” gym and we have girls who do that, plus the coach will take off once or twice a month. It’s unfortunate for my daughter because she wants to be more serious as an 8. Not to mention, 6-8 only practices 13 hours/week. DD does workouts on her own (conditioning), but wants more...

No need to be sorry. I appreciate your response. Helps me feel a bit less crazy ;)

My daughter's coach is very hard to get along with. I'm wondering if it's possible for my daughter to be successful in gymnastics, with this gym if I am very hands-off/uninvolved. The other parents are very involved, sit and chat at practices, suck up to the coach, are very fake, "love"...

I voiced my concern this year and was told it was mandatory if my dd wanted to compete. $300 for a leotard that she may wear 10 times is ridiculous to me. Other parents told me they felt the same. When I mentioned my concern to the gym owner, he contacted parents and they said they had no...

My daughter is very motivated to keep up with her conditioning. She does a lot at home on her own, too.

Than Thanks for your response and well wishes! Our coaches don't really differentiate like I wish they would so that is why I am looking for ideas as far as what she can do. She is 16 and level 9 so we've been doing this for a while :)

Thank you. Our coaches do not differentiate like I wish they would. So it is basically up to her and I to figure out what she can/will do.

My daughter sprained or strained her big toe and her foot is crazy swollen and sore. This is not her first injury... Anyway, what does your gymnast do when they are injured? I realize it depends on the injury, but thought I would ask. In my opinion, she should be visualizing and conditioning...

Thank you so much!

I appreciate this more than you know!

Hello friends! Several weeks ago I made a post about my daughter having a possible labral tear. Early November she had an MRI that was negative. About that time, she started physical therapy and no improvement. Two visits to a great orthopedic doctor (who suspected labral tear) and finally...

^This is exactly what worked for my daughter. It was a rough time (over a year) after her "blocks" started. She was a level 9 and her coaches did not believe in blocks. Yes, they said that. Her move came after an injury where she was specifically told by doctors and her physical therapist to...

Thank you for your input. I appreciate hearing from different points of view and yours totally makes sense.

Do you care to share a bit more? Thanks!

I didn't necessarily mean common, but not unheard of. Since you see lots of sports injuries, would you know any pediatric sports Orthopedic surgeons in/around Arkansas, Oklahoma, Missouri?

I really appreciate you taking the time to respond. I'm glad to hear it's "common".

Oh wow! I'm happy that she was able to come back. Thanks for sharing a glimmer of hope :)

That's good to here! If surgery is an option, I may get back with you to see if you wouldn't mind sharing the doctor who due the surgery.

I posted this in the WAG thread, but I thought I would post it here, too, if that's ok. My daughter is a 14 yo, level 9 gymnasts and is having a lot of pain in her hip and groin area. Her hip area was uncomfortable for a month or so and last week she went down into the splits and had a more...

My daughter is a 14 yo, level 9 gymnasts and is having a lot of pain in her hip and groin area. Her hip area was uncomfortable for a month or so and last week she went down into the splits and had a more intense pain. She has not been totally off of it, but hasn't been to gym in a week and the...
