    Parents Perseverance

    Of course, motivation matters, too. If a child studies for medals, that's a weak motivation, in my opinion. It's encouraging enough, though. It seems to me that the desire to do the exercises correctly should be at the heart of gymnastics. And the ability to deal with failure is something I...

    Parents Specialization And Overuse Injuries In Gymnastics

    You really don't have to spend 20 hours a week developing your body. I spend about 3-4 hours a week on all my total exercises. And that's enough for me. It is much better to have the whole body developed evenly than to have one particular muscle group. Modern sports require great sacrifices from...

    WAG How to do backwards skills without back pain?

    It is possible to cope with these mental blocks if you set yourself such a goal. But only if it is really necessary. Some blocks are better left in place, as they are also useful. I have chosen for myself to gradually improve the main muscle groups that I often use - this has its effect. I used...

    Parents Specialization And Overuse Injuries In Gymnastics

    I can't imagine a kid making 10,000 pitches at 8 years old. But I would agree that developing the whole body is better than developing just one muscle group. Jim Harbaugh seems to have a great understanding of physiological processes.

    Off Topic Shameless video game plug

    It takes good marketing to make the game sell. But climate change is an unpopular topic, unfortunately :(

    Parents How can I figure out if my daughter is still into this? The pressure is on…

    I would consider other purposes for her classes. Maybe she's taking classes because of a boyfriend or friends? Maybe she doesn't want to take a class, but her social environment won't let her quit? I would dig deeper before making a final decision. Either way, health is more important than all...

    WAG Turning Shoes

    When I went to school years ago, my toes made holes in my shoes. I thought it was because of my foot growth and actively playing mini-football :) I'm not sure if a cool brand helps with that, but I had enough shoes for about 4-6 months, as @Gymnast28 said Hi all! Let me join your forum. I'm not...
