Yeah I figured you was in the military, but the problem is what US coach, that knows it’s gymnast doesnt have a choice but to move won’t help out? Especially in the “elite world” aint know way your coach said go on a website and find the best gym. They should have had it all planned out for...
If you knew the gym rules it’s nothing to talk about. My daughters gym you don’t make state team you don’t go to Regionals, they can careless what your scores are. It is what it is
