As I have posted before I am having trouble with a certain coach which coaches tumbling, vault, and bar. I hadn't actually vaulted for what seemed like months (I think it was close to 5 weeks without vaulting over the real vault but I did vault into the pit over a trainer) so this mental issue...

I was wondering if any parents or gymnasts had encounter a "not so nice" coach, and what did you do about this? Just flat out switched or is this just an overeaction? Anyway, the story begins as it always does; with a coach and gymnast. Lets call the gymnast lilly and the coach paul. Lilly...

I have read of many other post where this "vestibular" concept or issue has been mentioned and I simply do not know what this means. It seems to me it is something about growing older and/or gaining weight, when a gymnast has a "vestibular" issue what does it entail?As a side note, do any of...

Let me start off with saying that i thought my practice was going fine, i did beam fine (after an agravation of back walkovers finally finishing what i had to do in less than 1 minute i just needed to get myself there) we went to bars i did some ok layout flyaways, cast hands, and baby giants...

Im pretty sure i have a few injuries i have accumulated in the 1 year after my home closed down and i was forced to move to a gym that was my last choice, but i didnt think that i was truly beyond repair. Let me explain; we were doing press handstands against a wall, these would give me no...

I am so utturley confused! I chose at the beginning of the season to switch from USAG to AGA and was happy with my decision, but i am starting to wonder if that was the right decision. Maybe i should have simply quit, i dont know, but i was wondering if it is possible to start as a level 8 if i...

Well i would like to start off by telling you that i participate in AGA, which has no compulsory levels but rather set level by score going from junior prep 1-5 (here there are no require ments but you are only allowed to compete As and Bs), junior 6-10, and junior, senior, and pre-elite. for...

I've posted before about the gym i am currently attending and the troubles with it but recently things came to an all time low.:( We no longer have ANY optionals, and i am currently the highest level in USAG (training 7 but i don't count myself quite optional yet). The gym offers another option...

You always hear about the parents that are too pushey or want their child to be going extreme hours, however, what about parents that are the opposite? My mom wants me to quit because she does not like me doing gymnastics (not money, not really travel, she just doesn't like me to do it)...

Is it acceptable to just tryout other gym to learn about what other gyms are like in your area? I know this is an odd question but let me explain; my mom refuses to pay more for my gymnastics, but any level 7 should be going around 20 hrs a week while i am going just 15 hours a week. The gym i...

I talked to my coach today due his lack of coaching and somehow he brought up that i should try AGA a different gymnastics competition affiliate then USAG which is the norm. I have done AGA in the past and enjoyed it but as a level 7 my season would fall at the same point as the AGA meets. This...

So i am currently searching for a new gym, because the my present gym is not the right one (coaches ignore me). My mom decided she wanted me to try-out XXXXX gymnastics, a well known gym to be very selective and picky. She chose this gym because it was a reasonable distance away, however a girl...

So i was at gym when i reliezed this and i'm sure you could see my heart melting into my chest; the coaches have a couple girls they are tougher on ("you know you have this skill now DO IT!") they push them to get better skills and to have better rutines giving corections and punishments for...

So i was just browsing CB and a question poped into my head; do you think i'm too old to go to a gymnastics camp at my level? Next summer i will be either 7 or 8 and i will be 15 (probably training 8) so do you think i should check out a gymnastics camp like woodward or IGC? P.S. during the...

I usually don't get sick sick, maybe a bit of the sniffles but never sick with headaches, congestions, and fatigue. But when i was sick on monday i did not realize i was actually sick, so i went to practice. I was so tired at practice i couldn't even last till the second event, since i couldn't...

I not sure how to put this but i change my skills when i'm trying to connect things. i.e. when i attempt front handspring fronts i don't get power out of my front handspring because i will change the skill. When i just do a front handspring rebound my feet will be atleast 2-3 feet in the air...

Ok so i'm a level 6/7 and since it is summer i'm going 19 hours i work hard like crazy and push myself like no other coach (because our coach doesn't like to coach :mad:) but no matter what i do or how long i work on a skill there is this one girl that can just jump up give it one try and have...

So i love (x10) gymnastics and go to the gym as many times as i can (4-5 time a week 5 a day) i would do anything for it. I'm a good student and i will be a freshmen this year i also will be competing 6 in the fall and (hopefully) will do 7 in the spring. The only thing i need for 7 is tumbling...

opinions anyone? i have a mock meet in one week, it is suppose to get us "warmed up" for the official meets this season. I have never been a part of a mock meet before because my old gym did not have them (gym now closed :(). From what i have heard there will be one judge (official) and the...

So i'm new to CB but i really have some question i would like to be answered. First off i would like you to know a little bit about my situation; on the first of march 2010 the only gym i have ever been to shut down and our whole team had to split up and find new gyms. We looked at a few gyms...
