I can understand your frustration but it seems you're a strong and optimistic girl who will be able to overcome these injuries.
My dd has had 3 serious ankle sprains and our doctor who specializes in sport medicine highly recommended this workout called "Bosu" it's a balance trainer that comes...
Things are going ok with dd it's been a couple of days just doing conditioning and she's frustrated but that's part of any sport. Frustration
I'd hate for this post to die, let's keep in touch
Thanks for the support.
Today was our first day back at the gym, only a 2 hour conditioning program was what we agreed on so I'll have to see how things go. I felt ac-ward picking her up before her class was over all her friends kept asking why she was leaving so early.
I stayed away from the...
Oh I feel so proud of her every time I glance over at her I feel like squeezing her she's so optimistic about everything! She's the one telling me she can try out again next year.
Flippymonkeysmom----I'm glad to hear your dd cast will be off in a couple of days please do tell her it'll take a...
Sorry it took so long but they just posted the results today Friday. She wasn't chosen. I knew it would be tough these girls have been dancing since they were in first grade and only 8 make the team maybe I should try a private dance academy? Bye Bye.....Ani
Oh by the way the lime green cast...
Sorry I didn't respond any sooner, we had a long weekend here in Mexico (Independence Day), it's our first night back.
Thanks for writing and being so supportive. Gymjourneymom, your hug comes from so far away and I couldn't have felt it closer and tighter.
Tomorrow the results will be posted as...
Flippymonkeysmom.....Tumblequeensmom....Gym law mom.....and my supportive friend Gymnomore thanks for your advice.
I think you're right Natalia might get frustrated, bored just doing a conditioning workout with little difficulty in skills but if her coaches are smart about this they'll be able...
Myjalark----Do you have any idea where they post what levels are equivalent to U.S.? My dd is a level 3 here in Mexico she's 11 years old, we have very few girls at this level in our country , when we've gone to nationals only 6 states participant out of 32.
You mentioned your dd is L9/10 what...
Yesterday we received a call from our gym and basically they tell us to have our dd just work on conditioning, they really don't want her to quit cold.... My dd liked the idea because they told her she can go less hours a day and work on what she likes. I't sounds great!! but I find it too...
Gymnomore........ I printed your post yesterday so I could carry it around until this syndrome wears off, it's crazy. I did watch this movie "little girls in........." and I was like a sponge, absorbing every bit of it. When her husband told her "You're not being her mother instead you're...
Gymnomore..... Thanks again and again and to every post that was sent to me. 2 weeks looking for answers in the wrong place (I spent hours reading statistics on gymnast who enter the emergency room yearly in the U.S.) I wanted so badly to know why my dd was getting injured instead of realizing...
GYMNOMORE. Thanks for taking the time to write you really can't imagine what a difference you've made. I must have pulled up your post out least 10 times today (just reinforcing myself) I have this horrible feeling inside like a little piece of my dd life ended and it's not that way at all...
KBT AND LIVINATTHEGYM Thanks for your support it helps and heals, your advice was what I needed to hear. I also believe she has gained the same qualities you mentioned she has full control of every thought that crosses her mind, it's hard to believe an 11 year old can do this, her...
Thanks for your concern. This last fracture might have been because of lack of flexibility like you mentioned, she is very thin (petite) but real strong. She had been away from the gym 5 weeks, and had just returned on monday this happened on thursday. Lots of conditioning had been done this...
This last fracture was her radio (I'm not really sure if that's how you say it in english but it's the bone b/w your elbow and wrist).
She fractured her arm doing an extremely easy exercise a flipflop something sh's been doing for many years.
Tomorrow is a big day for my husband and I, we are going to pull our 11 year old dd out of gymnastics for a while.
She's been doing gymnastics for the last 8 years and has had multiple fractures/sprains and the recovery process has been slow. She missed out last season on very important...
