I'm curious to know how y'all decide the pay rate for your coaches... I am almost 23 years old, I have a few years of coaching under my belt (most with preschool & recreational, but about 4.5 months with team levels 4-7). I've also completed 3 years of college, but decided to take a break from...

I'm aliiiive!! It was so crazy to watch. I've never been through a hurricane before. Luckily it didn't hit Katy as hard as was predicted, but it was still pretty bad. Our entire back fences are down, there's tree debris everywhere, and our power was out for awhile. But nothing serious at my...

Thanks for the thoughts & prayers! I'm just west of Houston, in Katy, and they told us to shelter in place. It's 11pm here right now and I can hear the wind outside, but it's not raining yet and it's not supposed to hit Katy until 2am. I guess i'll be pulling an all-nighter. I'll post an...

Does anyone know where to find that little Beijing 08 promotion Shawn Johnson did for gymnastics? They aired it during the trials and she's talking about how you can't be afraid to fall and it ends like "why do i want to go to the olympics? because im not afraid to fall. shawn johnson...

as you stand there with your arms up ready to go, visualize yourself doing it perfectly, then count to 3 and go. or have your coach count for you. i have a girl scared of her bhs on beam because she missed her hands once... but for some reason counting to 3 really helps her out and she'll go...

thanks for the ideas :]

For team gymnasts and coaches: Just thought it'd be interesting to see what warm ups are like at your gym?? How long do you warm up for? Is it the same everyday? Does the coach lead warm up or do the gymnasts rotate the role? How long do you run for? What stretches do you do? Are lines a part...

Ok, i'm a new team coach at a small gym... the owner totally opposes using chalk on the beams because he says it ruins them. He's had the same 4 beams for like over 20 years... and he's had high levels train on them before back in the 80's early 90's. BUT, the highest level at the gym now are...
