    Parents It's over :(

    Y'all she quit. She thought about it (and I mean thought about it), weeks and weeks of Deciding. For those of you who don't know, she has a stress fracture in her back and this is why she quit. She was so good, she tried so hard at every practice, and she got so far. And shes so sad. Gymnastics...

    WAG End of an era?

    Yes definitely not. I guess in some way when I think of quiting I feel quilt. Almost as if I "have" to compete this season.

    WAG End of an era?

    I need help... I'm 15, I am a gymnast, and I have worked super hard to be where I am right now. I'm proud of all my accomplishments and I proved to myself through this sport that I truly can do anything I put my effort towards. But, there's a down side... First lets go way back. I started...

    Parents Wonky grips

    Ok, DD has decided to finally try grips! However, are the holes supposed to be so wonky looking? And how far down on her finger should they go?

    Parents Always ripping on bars

    Hey all! So DD is training Platinum and bars is her weakest event. She has a clear hip and is working connecting the kip to it (but shes lacking power). Anyway, she rips every. Single. Time. She does bars. I am not even exaggerating. I don't know what to do. She wants to train them and she...

    Parents Quit or stay?

    DD is 16. This is most definitely a learning experience and I know she was hurt by her coaches' words.

    Parents Quit or stay?

    I never knew that! I will definitely be looking into this. I haven't heard anyone else dealing with this besides my DD.

    Parents Quit or stay?

    I get what you're saying, but the coach was definitely gaslighting my daughter.

    Parents Quit or stay?

    Ok, I have dreaded this one. LOTS and LOTS of mixed answers. My DD is a super hard working, determined, hard headed gal. She knows what she wants and she gets it. She takes everything she does seriously; gymnastics and she coaches gymnastics. She coaches for her gym and they said that she is...

    Parents Best leo brands?

    DD LOVES Plum Practice wear. They are so soft, comfortable, and cute. She's tried GK but she says that Plum is just more comfortable for the longer training hours.

    Parents Clear hip to kip (HELP)!

    That makes sense! So I guess she really needs to practice her conecceted kips then, right?

    Parents Clear hip to kip (HELP)!

    Yeah, that makes sense. Do you have any tips for the drop kips (like how to shift the wrists faster)? DD really struggles with shifting her wrists on the drop kips. She's done so many attempts but she's never made one. :(

    Parents Clear hip to kip (HELP)!

    That makes sense! I guess she really needs to work on conecceted kips without her feet touching. Unfortunately, we don't have a strap bar but that does make sense for the fear factor. Thanks! :)

    Parents Clear hip to kip (HELP)!

    Honestly she hasn't even practiced connected kips (maybe once or twice). The times that she did them her feet did hit the floor, except for one time. Her struggle on the last clear kip, kip was her not extending in the glide from the clear hip. So she had no power to kip from that. Thanks for...

    Parents Clear hip to kip (HELP)!

    Ok, so DD is 16 and she wants to get to Excel Platinum. She is not confident in her bars at all... says its her weakest event. She needs to get her clear hip to a kip consistent before she can move up (hoping to move up this season). As of right now, she is doing the clear hip from standing on...

    Parents Casting from a kip

    So if she's not supposed to look at the bar when she swings up, where should she look?
