    Parents Give Me Strength to Keep my Damn Mouth Shut!

    DD (11 years old) is getting a new floor routine this year. So, her coaches gave her 5 music tracks to choose from. While I would really prefer something more classical ( I think that just tends to be what I see the higher routines use - in general, so I think judges prefer it) all of the...

    WAG Trust

    I moved DD (Level 7) to a new gym 7 months ago. She has made friends, and she tells me she likes her coaches generally. Her scores went up this year during competition season, and my husband and I saw some real improvement in her performance. So that is all good. We recently had a...

    Parents DDs mental block Came back, but kudos to her coaches

    My DD ( just turned 11 Level 7 ) struggled last year with a mental block on her backwards tumbling. After doing her Rao BHS BLO in competition for several months, she couldn't do it. She said it just didn't feel " right". This lasted 7 months. Through a hypnotherapist, Doc Ali tapes, her...

    WAG Level 9 - moving up and start values

    Parents It is time to switch gyms....

    But DD is not on board. It has become clear to me, over the past year, that it is time for DD to change gyms. However, anytime I attempt to mention looking into another gym to my DD (Level 8, training 9, and 11 yrs old), she refuses to consider it. I am reluctant to say anything negative...

    WAG Is it a fear, or mental block, or does it matter?

    My DD is having trouble with her ROBHBLO. She will do it on the tumble track, onto the resi (same height as floor, and really soft and squishy), but not on the floor. She can do ROBH, ROBT, and standing back tucks. Is it dealt with differently if it is a fear vs. a block? Also, her...

    Parents Shameless Brag - Weiler Kip!

    Can't help myself! I picked up DD last night and asked her my usual 2 questions, did you work hard for your coaches (she's 9) and did you have fun? She said yes to both... Then said she did a Weiler kip!

    WAG Why do some gyms stop at Level 9?

    A friend asked me this ... She was looking at gyms and commented, why do some gyms say they Train up to Level 8, some to Level 9, and some to 10? What's the difference? Experience of coaches? Equipment? Both?

    Parents Had to Share!

    My 8 year old DD was SO excited the other evening, she came running out of practice... "Mom, I did a backhandspring On the beam! I want you to see!" So she drags me into the gym ( I was there for pick up). And she does about 8 in a row! on the high beam! When I asked her how that came...

    Deductions on Floor Routine

    In my efforts to become a more educated observer of the sport, I have come across a term describing the hand position in the back extension roll as being "staged". I have NOT been able to figure this one out, and I don't really want to bug my daughter's coach. It's also a 0.10 deduction on...
