Hey, DD is level 10 senior who has put on a significant amount of weight. I am NOT saying she is fat. She is not. She is muscle. That said, her eating habits are horrible these days, which IS playing a factor.
Any suggestions on how to handle this delicate subject with a teenage young...
Does anyone have any experience having their gymnast attend the College Bound Showcase? Just looking for defeatism as to what I can Expect.
Bummed our coach isn’t going and worries that will play a negative factor...
DD is a late Level 10 in her Jr year. She has reached out and communicated with most colleges and few have responded with courtesy responses. With another one or two encouraging her to send videos and keep in touch. I just don't know if a recruitment agency would have better luck? Would it...
Well, it has been a bit since I have been on here (had issues logging on). Anyway, you may remember DD was diagnosed in January with a L5 Pars Defect (stress fracture). DD went back to the doctor on Monday and was given the all clear. Now, her physical therapist hasn't - he still says no hard...
Hey. We are 16 weeks post diagnosis of a L5 Pars Defect (stress fracture). DD is still doing PT and was just approved to start doing tap swings. But no impact or back extension stuff. She experienced pain.... Any idea what recovery will feel like for her? The stress fracture itself should...
DD has a back injury that has kept her out of the gym for two weeks now - and from doing gymnastics for at least six weeks and was only able to compete one meet.
I am sooo sad! I actually think I am having a harder time adjustment than she is!
Ugh.
I know some things recently changed (well in September) with the requirements and I was just wondering. DD has a Tkatchev in her routine - and a shootover to HS. But other girls don't have a single bar release... Just wondering.
Hey,
Since I am not a gymnast - I can only post this here - :-) Can anyone offer any advice/suggestions on punching better/harder on the floor - to gain more height?
Thank you...
Is it "normal" for a coach to use threatening the gymnast with repeating a level as a form of motivation? Does it work for your gymnast?
Just wondering...
I don't understand all the symbols and codes...but this is what DD has and I am not sure if it is enough:
spring board to high board
kip to handstand
hopefully a tkatchev (inconsistent with it)
Pirouette to shootover to handstand
Chinese situp to kip/handstand
double giant
double layout dismount...
I am trying to understand something... Tkatchev's (reverse hetchs) on bars... DD is learning them but she is sooooooo inconsistent with it. Is this normal? Any suggestions??
Okay - so a month or so ago my DD sent out 43 emails to colleges - introducing herself - or for some - re-introducing herself and providing some personal gymnastics info and a link to her youtube. Mostly, she received back generic emails - yay!
But...today - her coach got an email! Now - -...
Hey,
I have seen somewhere a spreadsheet that shows the current list and future lists for college gymnastics teams. Does anyone know where it is?????????
Thanks!
