1.)Ivy League athletic programs compete in D1
2.)Ivies can not offer any merit based scholarships. There are not athletic or academic scholarships at these schools.
In the US Physician licensure is on a state by state basis with some exceptions for federal facilities (like VAMC, IHS, etc) where any state license can be used.
Some states do grant temporary licenses, volunteer licenses, and or camp licenses and it is possible that Nassar had something like...
Our elder gymnastic child did L9 years ago (so the rules may have changed but when she did it) but I'm pretty sure there was compositional deduction for routines which didn't go both backwards and frontwards/sideways. She has included side aerials and front tucks in various L10 beam routines...
I am also a mom who has been known to work twelve hour Saturday (and or Sunday) shifts. [I'm an EM Physician, perhaps your wife is as well---if so, and if some of her reluctance for gymnastics stems from seeing so many misadventures of childhood in the ED and she would like to talk to someone...
Cornell is an Ivy and doesn't give any scholarships (academic or athletic). They only do need based aid so it isn't possible that he had a scholarship to Cornell.
At our gym this would be decided on a case by case basis. Our HC would likely consider the rationale behind the competition break, their perspective on whether it was likely to be beneficial to the child (both overall and in a gymnastics progression sense) along with any other extenuating...
Your per diem is very low and session fees also seem low. They are lower than what our gym offers for coaches who are eligible for them. Our HC is fully salaried so when he attends meets he doesn't get additional money for the meets but does get his travel expenses reimbursed along with daily...
I'll join. Our younger gymnastic child is a 2009 baby who just turned 5 earlier this month. She hasn't moved to the developmental program yet and is still playing in the preschool gym. Currently our plan is to let her keep playing for the next six months and re-evaluate when summer comes...
Truly, my husband is probably more suited to being a good gym dad than I am to being a good gym mom. After all, he was the one who used his great litigator skills to help his baby sister plead her case to their mother for why she should be allowed to take gymnastics classes, move to team, etc...
Obviously, her physician is the best source for a good diagnosis. Some things to think about and perhaps discuss with her physician might be:
-Are the fractures associated with falls/bad landings and essentially "explained" or are they more questionable or overuse/stress fractures? Admittedly...
You are completely correct that with the Ivy league schools there is no merit money [for athletics, or academics, or any combination of the above]. Everything is need based so if the student is accepted then the school will meet their needs [or at least what the institution deems their needs]...
*I'm sorry you were involved in an abusive relationship in the past. Sometimes the after effects of this can linger. Do not hesitate to seek out the help you need to address this. Stress reactions, and PTSD are usually more difficult to treat when they have become entrenched.
*I would be...
I think perhaps you underestimate your abilities. Both my fourteen year old (currently a L10) and my four year old (currently playing in our gyms awesome preschool gym two days a week) understand that if they can't leave their gymnastics in the gym where it safe then they can, and will, leave...
I am a physician so I definitely do not have a typical weekday 9-5 job. I try to work around her meet schedule as much as possible, however, that just isn't always possible so I have missed meets. When she was younger, and more fragile, this was more of an issue. Now we're at a point where...
At least for NCAA Division 1, there are sport specific timelines during the senior year when athletes are allowed to sign. They are not allowed to sign before these dates, so, you are correct that early verbals are not really enforceable if the coach or athlete decide not to follow through or...
Some kids have an easier time when they don't have to put their hands down. I think some of this is probably in part due to the oft mentioned "vestibular". For other kids who don't block well it also makes sense from a mechanics sense that they may loose ground in a BHS and this may be less an...
