Totally right on! I really hope the lawyers can ease up a bit and allow for some deep change without gagging everybody and pointing the finger. Although, some rightfully need to have consequences for their involment, There are some tremendous people in USAG and they have the knowledge and...
I get what you are saying. But im thinking more like, USAG has gotten so big, and has so many LEGAL problems, it almost cant do the right thing......sometimes cutting ties and starting fresh isn't a bad thing......but i don't know enough about the 'organization' to be able to say......
if there...
Both my gymnasts find Tim very hard to listen to. He is plain mean. And he loves to start drama, and is hurtful. I don’t think there is any need for his type of comments, and although he may know how to break scores down etc, I think I’d rather look at the shapes, squares and triangle, than...
Im not a big fan of their competition ones..they look very thin......but I liked the blue one better than the pink.
But they have some really pretty tank leos they use in practice and this is what Im trying to find.....a burgundy one with a nice back.
The leos got progressively bling-ier and...
I dislike Tim strongly. I find him very critical, very negative and condescending of the athletes. He is the first to jump all over any minor error and basically say that’s the end for the kid....... id rather the fluffy commentary of nastia any day.... but Tim? Time for him to go with the rest...
hi yall! Anyone willing to post some videos of what the L7 vault is supposed to be looking like? I’ve heard of so many different things some friends are doing at different gyms.....I’m specifically talking about the yurchenko timer.
Just curious if anyone has begun to see what this finished...
Ummmmm. This is social media too. And this thread looks like a bunch of adults gossiping too.LOL
They are kids doing what they do, using their phones and talking smack (via phone, instead of to each other’s face)
Morgan’s jealous and feels upstaged. Simone feels left out and unloved. No reason...
Scared is part of gymnastics. It is her brain telling her she can hurt herself badly doing some of these crazy skills. Totally normal.
What she has to do is come up with positive thinking......she has to trust her work and her coaches training. Her coaches are there to spot, help her, support...
Well, I will say thats good if shes tired. It means shes working hard.
She will get used to it. Try not to 'worry' (kids pick up on this and automatically will assume its bad). its summer practice and i know our gym is really getting them ready for the season and they are tired.
8 is young but...
That WAS horrendous! Poor child!
I'm so glad my DD didn't see it as she is preparing for releases and doubles....
YES and the Flips girls looked amazing!!!
im reposting this from the COP thread-
So now that the new code is out, and a few congresses have taken place, what’s the general feel for the changes? Are they more geared to artistry and acro dance, or big skills?
There is a debate around here that the new code will reward better executed acro...
Hey y’all, now that some of you have been to congresses, and the books are all out and coaches have had time to study them, what’s the general feeling on the changes?
Several people in my neck of the woods have been saying that artistry, dance, polish will be a bigger focus going into the next...
Correct, but as my DD coaches always stated, a FHS is a dead end vault. To teach it in L4/5 with a straight body is silly. It must progress to a Front-Front, or switch entry.....
Not trying to mix the pot- jus' sayin'
