    Off Topic Woodward West Job

    Hi all! I was wondering if any of you had worked at Woodward West, in any position. I am thinking about coaching for a couple of sessions. P.S. I tried to find a post about this but couldn't find anything. If there already is a post about this I apologize, please link me!

    What leotard brand is this?

    Hello! I know this is a year later but I just found this. That is indeed Dare Devil. My old coach is the creator of the leos (Tami Carney, married to John Carney, OSU's assistant gymnastics coach). It used to be the two d's as the logos, but now she only does one D (as most of you have figured...

    Help! Osgood Schlatters is very painful!

    Hello! I had Osgoods when I was ten years old. I finished up the rest of the season, WITHOUT a brace but sometimes with tape. I was in physical therapy, but the doctors decided it was best to take a year off. Looking back, it was a waste of time. They wanted me to take a year off to let me allow...

    Do you think a 'No Dating' rule should apply to non-competitive gymnasts?

    That's absolutely ridiculous. It shouldn't be up to the coaches who you should date, that's like your teachers at school telling you you can't date so and so. Dating should be up to the parents. If you are in a relationship you should be mature, and that means mature enough to handle gym and a...

    Dealing with Late gymnasts and Absence

    Over the years coaches have changed their opinions on being late. I remember I used to always get really annoyed with the people who were late, because they missed out on warmup and our conditioning, and never had to make it all up. Another gym I went to had no tolerance for that. For our...

    Justin Spring Proactiv?

    Works fine for me :) My sister used it for a while and all of a sudden it stopped working, which has been known to happen. It does tend to dry out my skin, but when I stay with it consistently (which I should do more..) it works very nicely! Much better than other brands

    Swimming Before Gymnastics Meet

    Let them swim! I think it's nice for the stress and just to relax swimming. The girls just want to have fun, these away meets should be fun! I really don't think it takes away that much energy, unless they are staying up really late at night or swimming laps, when they are playing around they...

    Justin Spring Proactiv?

    Hey guys! I haven't posted in a while and didn't see any on this, so hopefully it hasn't been posted already! I was watching tv and saw a commercial for Pro Activ, and Just Spring was on it! The weird thing though is that only his first name was showed, and it didn't really seem as he was...

    braces for osgoods?

    I would suggest going to your sports doctor and having her try getting you one. That's where I got mine and they have lasted me for 5 years. It's not like the Cho Pat, and I personally think it looks more comfortable, it's a band and inside the band is cushioning that supports and puts pressure...

    Gymnastics Myths

    I have heard a lot, but one I found particulary interesting the other day was about health and eating. I know that there have been some eating problems in gymnastics, but I was talking to my friends mom the other day, and both my friend and her were just so shocked that I could eat normal. They...

    knee problems

    Hey I have osgoods. I feel your pain. Osgoods is horrible. I had bands on both my knees, and I went to phsyical therapy, but to tell you the truth it didn't do much good. Basically you just have to wait to stop growing. I took a year off which helped a little bit, but going back was still...

    Make It or Break It --- ABC Family --- June 22nd 9/8c

    I was super confused with Payson's injury! There sweatshirts said it was 2009... but she was worried about making the 2012 team which was just around the corner? Is it just that Payson's injury is so bad she can never return to the sport?

    make or buy a beam???

    If your husband is handy I would have him make it. My dad made mine, and instead of normal covering, he used carpet. This has helped a lot with practice at home, since there are no matts at home the carpet helps me not kill myself haha

    Level 4 scores/How bad? LONG

    For her first meet, these scores are awesome! On vault, a 9.4, that's great!!! And on beam, she also did excellent, and the other scores aren't bad at all. Congratulations to her, and keep up the hard work!

    VERY early workout

    Thank you all for the responses! I love naps, but i usually can't take them because I get a headache when I wake up and feel even worse then when I went to sleep. I'll definitely look into extra boost foods, I have a feeling I'll be needing those.

That means we have to get up at 4:30 in the morning, have swim at 5:20, gets out at 6:30, leave asap and get to school by 7:05 and find a parking spot (which is near...

    WAG VISA Championships Women's Day 2

    Oh my goodness, poor girl!!!!! I saw a video of it, and I felt HORRIBLE for her. I give her so much props for still being able to get back up, and pull off the rest of her routine, and the rest of the competition. That must have hurt so bad :(
