    WAG Connecting beam series

    Dd is having a hard time with her BWO BHS connection. She can do it on the low beam but stops and swings her arms on the high beam. It’s been several months with no progress. Any tips?

    WAG Flyaway mental block

    Update: Dd had a private today and she did a bunch of giant-flyaways (granted, with a light spot but it's still a huge step forward for her). First, the coach stacked up all the mats and did a ton of drills when you just let go and fall on your back. She did drill after drill and then took mat...

    WAG Flyaway mental block

    Her biggest stress right now is the upcoming competition. The ironic thing is that bars has always been her strongest event. She's the only L7 in her gym who has cast-handstand/freehip/giant-giant connected and the routine looks beautiful. Not sure if I should talk to the coach about the plan...

    WAG Flyaway mental block

    That's exactly what I've been doing. I didn't even know that there was a problem until about two weeks ago when she started coming out in tears after each practice. She's been stressing out more now because her 1st meet is in a few weeks and she's too embarrassed to scratch bars (her own words)...

    WAG Flyaway mental block

    How do I help my 10yo DD deal with a major mental block on her giant-flyway? She's been very frustrated and her mental state is getting worse after each practice. She competed cast- flyaway all season last year and then had giant-flyaway for about 3 months. She's lost everything now and won't...

    Thanks everyone for the replies! I texted the coach this morning and she said that she will double check with coaches/judges she knows.

    WAG Level 6 bar routine question

    We are at a very small gym and it's the first optional year for our coach. The coach is amazing but I think there is a lack of experience.

    WAG Level 6 bar routine question

    Thank you. That's what I thought. Do I bring it up with the coach? The states are next week and the coach decided that dd will be doing a giant since she got it pretty consistently. Dd has a beautiful free hip so not sure why she doesn't let her do it.
