    Parents WWYD-Coach Hard To Get Along With

    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"...

    Parents What To Do With Time Off For Injury?

    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...

    Parents "Labral Tear" Update... Ovarian Cyst!

    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...

    Parents Possible Hip Labral Tear? Career Ender?

    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...

    Parents Does anyone take pictures of their gymnast?

    I've searched around on CB a bit, but didn't find a lot. If there is a better place to post or thread for picture-taking, please accept my apologies. I love taking pictures, but I really have soooo much to learn! I have a Canon 60D and a 70-200 f2.8 lens that I use for gymnastics. I pretty...

    Parents What is your definition having 'it'?

    DD has been struggling through many blocks and it seems she is starting to get her skills back. What do you, your gymmie, coaches consider 'got it'? DD has done her new vault (last one caused crazy issues-tsuk). She's landed it 3 times with no spot or extra mats. I'm proud, but really don't...

    Parents Would you allow your child to compete?

    DD is level 8, missed last season due to injury, moved to 9 this season. She's done her vault by herself maybe 3-4 times and still balks on bars. Floor and beam are pretty good. She has a meet coming up and only 3-4 practices until meet day. I'm having a hard time saying yes to her going...

    Parents Letting DD Go To Meet?

    Hello. I don't post a lot, but I do read a lot :) DD is L8, went back from L9. (long story, previous posts, got multiple blocks and still working through them). Anyway, DD has a meet in two days. She went from being a great, consistent gymnast (10 years old, level 9) to being a mess. I hate to...

    Parents IT Band Injury, Time Off, Blocks & Missing Meets

    My daughter has had a really, really rough year or so... (last year level 9, this year back to 8 due to "blocks") -About a year ago, during a meet, she fell off beam during her back tuck and hit her foot on the way down. Had to take a few weeks off.

    WAG When Is It Time To Quit Gym??

    My dd is 11 years old and level 9. She's progressed quickly, but right now she is having trouble. Last season she had a block on her bhs bhs bb series. She is working towards getting it and has done it quite consistently lately. All of a sudden now, she has a fear of doing her giants and...

    WAG Slippery Bars?

    So I posted about a week ago about my dd's bhs bhs "block" and I appreciate all the input!! Last week, she decided that the bars are slippery? I'm not sure if she's having a mental breakdown or what. She refused bars Thursday and again today, saying the bars are slippery and she's scared. She...

    WAG Mental block??

    My dd has a mental block that's been going on for months. She won't do her bhs bhs series on the beam. There is no good reason for the block, she didn't fall or anything. Is this common? Is there a way to move past it? Her coaches (former gymnasts) have no patience for it at all. They have no...
