Question for the coaches out there...
Do you take any time to go over how the kids performed at their meets at monday's practice? The reason I ask is our coaches never even mention the weekend meet to the kids. Nothing good, nothing bad. It's just business as usual on Monday afternoon. Is...
Well, for the first time ever, my kiki was very sick going into a meet. She had been throwing up 24 hours leading up to her session. I had reservation about her competing, but she insisted. She was so weak that she had her lowest scores all season BUT for the first time EVER she hit both kips...
We chatted with Ayla Kell (Payson Keeler) on our radio show this morning. What a sweetheart! Does anyone else see her charachter becoming a coach? Or do you believe she will make an unbelievable comeback and win Olympic gold??

We did end up enrolling our daughter in Parizi Speed School to help with her vault. Well last night was her evaluation to determine where she should be placed. During her evaluation she was asked to do as many pull ups as she could and my little 7 year old busted out 10 like it was nothing...

Here's a senerio for you. A coach on a cell phone steps onto the vault runway as a gymnast is about to start her vault. Her father stands up and starts screaming at the coach who's clearly embarrased. The guy won't let up and the gym goes dead quiet. Pretty awkward! Anybody ever witness anything...
Ayla Kell (aka Payson) will be calling our radio show in 2 weeks to chat about the season premeire of Make It Or Break It. If you have any questions for her, let me know now! Our family really got into the show last year and my DD is looking forward to it. I did question some of the material...
