    WAG No progress on vault

    Vault is by far my worst event, I'm training level 10 but my vault is not up to level. I have been training tsuk layouts for over a year now and they have not improved at all. I then switched to tsuk tuck full for a couple months and it was going quite well but me and my coach decided it would...

    WAG Level 9 Acro series connection with side Ariel

    I am a level 9 gymnast and I am currently competing in aerial round-off as my connection. Now yes you do get credit for this but if you wobble or stop at all on the aerial before the round-off, then you don't get credit. I have only got the credit for it one time for this reason. So currently I...

    NCAA NCAA choreography

    Wow! I loved that routine posted above. She really was expressive. I do feel that most routines (NCAA, elite, club, etc.) are all lacking in the dance department. It does feel rare to see a routine that really pulls in the audience. Side note: The gymnast in the video did two passes, double...

    WAG Pulled muscle and where to go for help

    Hi everyone, I hope this doesn't qualify as seeking for medical advice so lmk. So basically yesterday I was doing my leap pass and all of a sudden my leg/butt area start to hurt really bad. I take it easy the rest of practice, mostly doing bars. I'm pretty sure I pulled a muscle and it still...

    WAG Meet nervousness

    Hi! I used to have the same problem as you, and I would get so frustrated because I knew I could do so much better than what I performed at the meets. I have some tips that have helped me: 1- First, keep a positive mindset. Don't say negative phrases in your head like "I hope I don't fall"...

    Parents Bruise from bars

    This is very common I feel, not everyone talks about it since it is an awkward spot to get bruised. I get the same thing, and I usually wear shorts when that happens and then ice the area when I get home.

    WAG Catching a bail/overshoot on bars

    Hey everyone! My competition season is quickly approaching and I have almost all of my skills, except I can't seem to get the hang of a bail by myself. I have been doing them for a long time with spot and by myself with extra mats. But I have a hard time doing it by myself on the real bar, my...

    Parents Unpopular Opinions

    Just out of pure curiosity, would you feel the same way if a girl was crying because a coach or teammate was being mean to them? What about if they are crying because they are scared to go for a skill? What if they are crying because they fell at a meet? Etc. These are questions for everyone, as...

    WAG Another level 9 floor question

    As the competition season is heading closer I am getting very nervous about competing on floor. I posted a similar thread a couple of months ago but I have still yet to confirm my tumbling passes with my coach:( Anyway to the point. I am struggling with connecting two saltos together and I have...

    Parents Training weeks in the summer

    Very oblivious post, most people don't have any bad intentions but there is still plenty out there and possibly lurking on this site. I'm honestly so confused with everything you post on here but I guess I will just give up on trying to understand lol.

    Parents Training weeks in the summer

    Your posts honestly confuse me. First of all, I would like to know the reasoning behind having a minimum of 22 hours for safety. For level 5/6, 22 hours seems a little excessive, how is that for safety? How do more hours correlate to safety?! Am I missing something because your entire post...

    Coaches Tkatchev

    I do tkatchevs and catch them consistently, I have a good drill my coach had me do for the problem you're talking about. Have her do the back extension roll to straddle sit up but instead of on the floor, have her do it starting on top of a cheese mat. She will roll much faster from the incline...

    WAG Layout flyaway mental block

    My biggest advice to you is just to relax. It sounds like you get most skills quite fast but the reality of high-level gymnastics is that will not happen very often as you progress higher in the levels. I know it may be frustrating but working through this mental block will teach you many...

    WAG instant video replay system

    My gym does something similar. We set up tripods around the gym with tablets set on them. We set a 30-second delay so after we do our skill, we walk over to the tripod and watch our skill.
