Once rip heals - buff down caluses, put a few drops vitamin E oil & soft, fingerless gloves to sleep in every night - since we started doing this, DD has had no rips

When they start and they are sooo little and then one day Bam! you see their arm muscles popping!

I made thermos w/ downloaded gym logo & put a Starbucks GC inside one time for holiday gifts - went over well & you can get them done at Walgreens online

By some Belvita breakfast biscuits & slap some PB between them to make a little snack / it's great!

As a parent that gets the "frustration" part - I totally see where you are coming from & have reacted the very same way :) it's just different parenting styles, in my book. I think if I acted like it was no big deal, my DD would prob wonder why I stopped caring about her! It's a balancing act-...

This one hurts me just to read it. And it's a feeling that all moms can understand. You will know in your heart if the day comes when it's just too much but until then, be strong for her and for yourself. I have to remind myself that, for my gymnast, the time she gets to spend flipping and...

I would look at it this way- you learn about gymnastics when you start going to meets (just watching practice doesn't teach you much about how much your daughter will like the competition part of gymnastics or if she really does have a knack for it or if you want to go the distance in this...

It makes sense to score the younger ones high in the first place/ keeps them motivated to stay in the game longer

16.5 region 3 (but that includes 1 1/2 hr of dance)

Great job Sophia!!!!

I still can't get them - if anyone has, cam you post a link?

I don't think it's a fair vs unfair thing - for example, one high school may have more $$ to spend, can pay for a better coaching staff, equipment etc - at least in a gym, you can choose where you spend your money - you could find a high-end gym with better coaching, longer hrs etc / it's a lot...

For the record, there were 25 10s given out at state-sanctioned meets in level 3 vault for 2015- and many states are represented (including those on the East Coast :)

I was the one who posted that my girl got two 10s last year level 3 vault - we are not on East Coast but she got first in vault at every meet & was vault state champion in her age group #notafluke

Yeah we noticed vault & bars were not represented! I was seriously worried about the guy on beam

The variables for a college scholarship may be numbereous, but if that is a goal that one may be aspiring for for their gymnast, I believe you can attempt to forge a path in that direction with careful planning, healthy behavior, open communication & positive feedback - a parent will not be able...

Take her somewhere else. There are all sorts of bodies doing gymnastics and there are all sorts of coaches/ you just happened upon one that isn't a good fit for your girl. I'm sure you can find a more welcoming environment at another gym.

My DD got two 10s last year level 3 vault- and yes it was great when the audiences sucked their breathe in real deep & then applauded :)
