    Parents Are a lot of injuries a red flag?

    I think there are lots of things to consider when it comes to injuries and could they be prevented. What was the child performing when injured. Could it have been prevented? What is the conditioning like in the gym. What level is the gymnast and are they ready for that skill. Was there spotting...

    WAG Gymnastics recruiting services

    I do not feel that a service is necessary unless you don't have the time to put into the process. Its a lot of work, you need to be organized and need to be determined. We did everything ourselves and we are so excited with the D1 school she is going to. I did everything until it was time to...

    WAG 8th Grader Verbally Committed Today. Class of 2023

    It sounds like your dd had a really sad and not so great experience. Did she stay the whole 4 years or did you pull her out early because it was so horrific? I hope that every gym has their own experiences and that my dd wil be exactly what she is looking for. We have friends at my dd...

    WAG Gymnastics is F*****

    This article made me sad but I have totally seem this during my DD career. I feel it's a lot more aggressive for kids who are pathing elite/national. In my opinion those kids get it a lot worse then a age 12 level 6 gymnast does . Sadly some coaches that we have witnessed along the way...

    WAG What do gyms do to attract great coaches?

    I think this is a combination of a lot of things. A great coach starts by being a great coach. They don't have to go to a "good" club to become one. They either have the strong qualities of what it takes and means to be a good coach. Does the coach on their own take coaching courses or do...

    WAG Ice bath- Helpful, harmful or neither?

    WAG Coach Posting Videos of Gymnasts With “Attitude”: Thoughts?

    I have watched this again to see if there is justification to make fun of gymnasts and I just don't get it and don't see how it fosters positive learning. We are only seeing a very small clip. Maybe the gymnast was just ripped a strip because of something, maybe she has tried that particular...

    Parents Let's talk (again!) about trampoline parks

    Our coaches don't have a rule about them but I absolutely dislike them.

    WAG Coach Posting Videos of Gymnasts With “Attitude”: Thoughts?

    I stopped watching after seeing a few examples. I would be so mad if my dd coach did this. I wouldn't be happy with my dd for having attitude. But posting it on IG is disgusting....

    Parents Has the whole world gone mad?

    I know some kids that are age 9 and 10 doing 30+ hours. Unfortunately the coach has IMO planted a fairy tale romance to these parents. Sadly they do not understand the power of burnout. Having been there with Alex and her coach training her 30+ hours, 3 days of lift, on line courses. It...

    Parents using deodorant a required skill?

    My guess is the coach doesn't want to single out one particular person. If your daughter doesn't smell I wouldn't worry about it. But I would just tell your daughter to tell him - thats not the brand I use but thank you for offering. I wouldn't make a big deal about it. Someone on the team...

    Parents Am I a mean mom?

    Glad to hear that nothing was broken. In our gym even if you have a broken arm, foot, torn knee - you still go to training. Obviously it would be tailored to their abilities. But not going is never an option for our gym and has never even been questioned by my dd. Also you will get to...
