Sorry if this is in the wrong spot. I need to vent.
Okay, this all started about 4 years ago. I was doing gymnastics at a YMCA, but I didn't like the coaches. They were really mean and they made you feel really bad about yourself. So I quit for the summer. In the fall, we looked into a new...
I used to have this problem. It may be because she is putting more weight on one arm or bending one. That was my problem. If that is the case, have her work on straightening out that bent arm.
This isn't really like something I messed up on but a while ago I broke my toe doing a handstand. I was doing it against the side of my couch. The coffee table was near it and it had to straddle in and out to avoid hitting the table. I was sitting in my handstand and my dog walked in and charged...
Dinner after practice
I often have lean pockets. They come in so many kinds and they are healthy and quick. I also sometimes have a bowl of cereal with some fruit on the side.
Vitamins
Right now I take a regular multivitamin and I take Iron supplements because I am anemic. I also add protien powder to alot of my food. (cereal, smoothies etc.) I am almost out of my regular multivitamin so I think the next one I buy will be plus calcium.
I also have a meet next weekend that starts at 8:00. We live about 3 hours away so we have to leave by 5 at the latest. I am planning on making a smoothie the night before, (with protien powder of course). When I wake up I will have some Kashi oatmeal, then bring the smoothie to drink in the...
I do not think it matters what height you vault on. I am 5' and I still vault on 1050 becase that's where my vault is better. I think that the height of the vault is for the coach and the gymnast to decide. All though, if your daughter is not feeling comfortable on a certain height, I would talk...
Planning a Gym
I am also planning a gym. I know it's kind of crazy cause I'm only 12 but whatever. Here's what I have planned out so far:
A floorplan
A descriptioin of all the facilities
A name
A membership policy
I have started to plan out all of the programs I will offer
A word document with...
OK, I know I am not very old but I thought I'd post anyways. Almost everyone at my gym wears shorts but I understand if you don't want to and that's fine. I can't stand going without undies, so at meets (and with leotards that I don't have matching shorts for) I wear the GK brand underwear. They...
I don't belieive I have ever missed school for gym. My parents are both teachers so education comes before sports. I don't think many people at our gym ever miss school for practice. I know a few people's parents will bring them to an open gym just before state or something, but not usually.
I have a few questions on deductions for judges: (or anyone else if you are sure)
What is the (L. 5-6) deduction for:
Too low of a cast on bars
Not holding a handstand on beam
Absence of a shoulder block on FHS vault
Slow run on vault
If anyone could help me out that would be great! Thanks...
