    Parents This moment, overcoming LSS / Twisties

    I have no clue. It did get better before we left and he was doing all kinds of skills in the gym again. So it was not from balking at everything to this without progress. And in Crete he also did build it up with single somersaults to doubles and from lower cliffs to finally this one. I think...

    Parents This moment, overcoming LSS / Twisties

    My DS is in trampolining and had a long time of struggle with Lost Skill Syndrome (nowadays also known as twisties (thank you Simone for making this subject more public). He also had growth related injuries, no training because of Covid etc. Yet he did not quit. Just weeks ago when he finally...

    WAG Tell me about the underdogs

    The Dutch WAGC gymnast Else Geurts has a great and impressive story. When in youth elite she was once send away by one of the top gyms for being not talented enough. She did continued to do elite in different clubs however, closing the ranks in junior elite most of the time, but now peaking as a...

    Coaches Lacking motivation - Anyone else still in lockdown?

    Still in lockdown in the Netherlands. Zoom strength training here but motivation is spiraling downwards. What I saw somewhere is a mixed zoom training with different clubs (or even from different countries). They brought in some quiz time or made couples from different gyms and it seemed a very...

    Parents 4.5 year old gymnast how much practice time ?

    It can be hard to lean back when she has so much potential, but that is exactly what you should do. Let her have fun, explore other sports.The 1.5 hour preteam will be plenty. If she is that good, it will show at whatever hours she does. Of all the kids that put in excessive hours at a young...

    WAG Help- Backwards issues!!

    Lots of luck to your daughter. My DS (in FIG youth elite trampolining) struggles with mental blocks / Lost Move syndrome from time to time. He has good periods, but unfortunately it always seems to be lurking around the corner. This is a very useful article on this subject...

    Have any T&T families been to this competition?

    DS club went there in 2018 and I have judged there. It is a nice atmosphere good international quality competition and was a good teambuilding competition as well. Judge wise, It can get very hot in the competition hall and organisation can lack here and there mostly due to some people of the...

    Parents growing over fear ??

    So sorry to hear that Noideaaboutgym. I hope she finds another passion or even returns to it someday. Sometimes I wish DS never got this good. Because the stuff he does or is supposed to do is downright scary, like 6 double and 4 single different somersaults in a 10 jump routine and a girl he...

    Parents growing over fear ??

    So I know probably none of you has a chrystal ball to predict the future for my DS but what are your stories of your gymnasts who have encountered fear and blocks do they get over them once they are past growth spurts? Where do they end up after years? Do they quit or continue? DS is my 12...

    WAG Age of change

    Ok different gender and different sport but this to me is an interesting comment since I was just recently thinking something a bit opposite from this line of thinking. Namely what if my DS would not have been uptraining these hard skills from so early on but just build basics a couple of years...

    WAG Age of change

    DS started trampolining at 7. At 9 he started training with the elite training group where he was the youngest. He picked up skills crazy fast. The training group consists of a couple of youth but mostly junior and senior FIG level elites. From the age of 10 he was in the highest national level...

    T&T World Championships

    Not from GB but we know one of their juniors. The reason seems to be they just want to have full focus on individual. At the Dutch Open at our club the british team didn't do any synchro eiter. Very rarely they do have synchro pairs at bigger events. I don't know why these exeptions are made...

    WAG When it feels like everything is falling apart

    Does she want to go to camp? What happens of she doesn't go? And what will that mean in the long run? ( Sorry I don't know the consequences of your system) From what your writing it looks like she really need things to be slowed down.

    Parents When is the "right" time?

    I guess I would choose to do this rather sooner than later. Since there will never be a good or convenient time. There will allways be competitions out there and yes it will be a set back for him. But he is only 6 he can handle a small set back perfectly well in the grand scheme of things. Even...
