    Parents Can you tell when a kid is trying?

    So I’m not 100% sure how they do things in optionals. In our gym, once a gymnast gets to optionals they’re basically all together, and they work on their skills. But no, I don’t think they just because they repeat one year they will be forever just falling behind. Like I said, for a lot of...

    Parents PT question

    In my experience (from all the times my DD has been in PT) a lot of times, the main areas of weakness and tightness will be easy to spot because of the injury or any pain that’s recurring. If there’s an area that is weak or tight, most of the time the athlete is probably already aware of it, so...

    Parents Can you tell when a kid is trying?

    Also, just FYI, sometimes repeating a level isn’t a bad thing AT ALL. My daughter’s two best friends are both repeating level 5 this year and it’s been the best thing for them self confidence wise as well as skill wise. Sometimes, there’s just some component in a skill that’s keeping a child...

    WAG Bent legs after growth

    So I’m so glad it’s not just my daughter that has this issue. She’s pretty much the only one on her excel team that this happens to when she grows (she has all kinds of tendon and ligament growth issues, severs, osgoods, and basically her legs will just suddenly get longer-but nothing else on...

    Coaches Toddler Gymnastics ideas & techniques! Need advice & can give advice. IM A COACH!!

    Is there any possible way the gym owner would let you make a monthly curriculum for the toddlers/preschoolers since you’re the one running the classes? And then he can “approve” it ahead of time, but you can get your drills and stuff in that you know need to be done? This could help not only...
