Hit and run :p

Where does our sense of " being a body located somewhere in space" come from? What is our neurological GPS and how does it work? The short version: http://www.medicaldaily.com/scientists-create-out-body-experience-better-understand-concsciousness-331588 The long version...

Forgot to mention that alot of scenes in the video were actually shot in Quebec,where the top coach is now working.This video is used to draw talent to Gym Union Haguenau.However ,they fail to explain that the top skills and the better coach is actually across the Atlantic. Imagine a mid sized...

Here,have fun :http://chalkbucket.com/forums/threads/how-would-you-feel.45630/

How did I miss this ? In the est? You found a big shinny club?That would be Gym Union Haguenau.I will not hog this board with drama but I will find the thread descibing my experience with this "Great "Club.My DD was Elite tracked at that place. They will welcome you,their top coach left,so you...

Most coaches are great,but when an ambitious driven egomaniac plays the system it's catastrophic

I have to type various post or I get timed out. DD started her year with 8 girls in her group.Only 1 is still at the club, 6 girls quit.Mine managed to hag on to the end o the competitive season so that her contract was up. 6 girls who loved gymnastics,hated being yelled at,hit,called...

A national team member was on the 2012 olympic team.Her 2 years duty were up with her old club,she wanted to change her liscence to another club while she trained at the national center. Her old club dragged their feet doing the paper work. After a massive confrontation between the girl the...

A normal athlete is the clubs property for one year,an elite belongs to the club for 2 years.If an eite is suffering at the hand of abusive coaches her only salvation is leaving her family and go and train at a national training center. The club accepts this because the girls points are awarded...

United European Socialist Republics welcomes Jimbound. Here the FFG (French gym federation)will regulate the thickness of the toilet paper used in your gym. Girls belong to their clubs,they may only leave with the consent of their coaches and the new club has to buy the girls liscence from the...

A harrowing nightmare of physical and mental destruction.Very few girls are cut out for it but even FEWER coaches are trully prepared for the demands of Elite training. It's worth it for a handfull of girls out of a couple of hundred. Make sure the doors leading back to normal gymnastics are...

I love the public reaction to tiny little girls doing the most amazing things. We're surrounded by forests,and many parks offer "Acrobranche"which is acrobratics in the trees. I took a bunch of little 9 year old gymnasts to celebrate DDs B-day. The same day some military guys came for...

The very one, in France. You see,crazy gym coaches exist.

Give parents a punch card ,allow them one or two hours of viewing a month,they can come at any time,unannounced.

My kid started talking AFTER she left the mad house.I asked her why she hadn't said anything before.She was told by the coaches NOT to speak about gym with parents. 10 days after I left,a mom calls me .She had arrived early to take her DD to a dentist appointement.HC had clearly forgotten about...

Shucks,you scared him away.You should have started him off with a simple"no bumps"poneytail.

Just wanted to share what I consider a well edited vid ,shot at the french nationa taining center.

In the land of the ever lasting "vacances",all gyms take at least 4 weeks off in the summer. Even national training centers close for weeks in summer,then they wonder "what happened ?"at international meets.Lol.

I also wanted to add,the cray-cray coaches out there would do themselves a favour by letting parents view their work from time to time. The first signs or second or third sign that a gyms' training philosophy doesn't align with a parents educational approach will lead to the departure of the...

Deep breath, @gymtigermom summed it. The coaches here on Chalkbucket are passionate,knowledgeable,mature all round great people. The younger coaches here have shown humility,thurst for knowledge,awareness of their temporary limitations. But out there ,in the big wide world,there are some...
