frustrated

I'm a perfectionist, I am someone who gets frustrated with myself very easily, and I get super frustrated when I get a correction and I can't fix it (when I'm trying really hard) I'm really sorry if this doesn't make any sense, I can re-explain it. Does anyone have any tips/tricks for not...

hi all. New to posting but thought maybe I would seek advice. My daughter is 9 competes on a t&t team at a smaller gym. This is her third year on team and fifth year there. She loves it. That is all they offer is t&t classes. She also has been going to another gym close because she went to an...

My DD (8) is on a small competitive team and we have had major changes over the past year the team. We got a new head coach last year, she has been great and really added to the excitement and atmosphere in the gym for the girls. She treats them all as individuals and takes the extra time to...

For the first time ever something is streaming perfectly for me and all they are showing is beam! :(

dd is struggling to control coming out of the 1/2 turn on bars. She hits handstand, turns it and then can't control it down into a swing that leads to a kip, she looks like she more just falls out of it and hits her feet on the mat. There hasn't been any drills or spoting to correct it but just...

Gymmie is 11 and L6, she is frustrated with her coaches. I dont' blame her at all. Our HC is great, but non-confrontational, and there is only one of her and 78 girls + 16 developmentals. Or "other coaches" have some good traits they bring to the team, but it is almost constant drama. I have...

I started with my group four years ago, when they were going to start competing old level 4. They were so bad. Most of them didn't have even standing back handsprings or real flat back vaults and most of them were missing two or more skills on bars. They've come a long way. We've gotten better...

I'm so frustrated. Our first meet is over an hour and a half away and our session is at 6pm on a Sunday, with awards not scheduled until 8:30. So my 8 year old will be up until midnight on a school night. Do gyms think of these things at all???? I'd rather have the meet start on a Friday...

Dd seems to have one skill each year that comes harder than the others. This year is the kip Well Monday we had the emotional breakdown that seems to come once each year. Usually it is followed in a week or two with the skill being achieved. Hope the pattern follows and she sees the break...

DD just turned 8 and is a new level 3 after competing a successful Xcel bronze season. The problem is xcel competes spring and compulsory competes fall, so she and two other xcel girls were moved up to 3 and have just the summer to get skills they weren't working on in xcel. Specifically, she...

My DD is almost 8, competing Xcel Bronze. She's gone from being one of the strongest on her team to struggling in practice and sort of seeming not as motivated. She says she still loves it and wants to do it. Wednesday at practice she wasn't applying corrections - things she's been doing just...

This is about my younger DD, who is in rec gym. She really, really wants to be invited to team. She works hard, and begged to add a third class for more practice. She also begged to do the Sunday conditioning class to get stronger. She keeps plugging away, but she is just not strong enough for...

There is a girl on DD's team that has been continually up trained 2 levels above but the mom refuses to have her compete at those levels and wants her to compete a level below where the coaches would like to place her. It is extremely frustrating because my DD is in her age group. Obviously she...

So my dd recently a level 4 gymnast has had a lot of trouble getting consistency on her back hip circle on bars consistently. She has a perfect routine one minute but then it can be a total mess the next where she loses all control on the bars and is risking injuring herself. Her coach is...

Hello all you moms, gymnasts and coaches! I am so happy to finally found a forum where I could share my thoughts, fears and experience! I want to know: In what amount of time is it possible to get the required skills for TOPs testing? I know the girls are between age 7-10, but if a fit...

Hello guys! My daughter can do 15 hanging leg raises from a free hanging pull-up bar and 8 very good pull-ups. She can do a straddle hold on floor for about 30 seconds and L-sit for about 15-20. Is that strong enough for Level 6/7? The problem is, she just can not get up the rope in a pike...

Again, I wanted to thank everyone for their advice and suggestions on my last post about my frustration with dd's gym wanting to keep her back at L2 for another full year. We did take the plunge and move to an entirely new gym, even though it is a bit of a drive for us now. Well, so far, we're...

I am just frustrated to the point of tears about this. I've had my back handspring on my floor since I was about 9-10 years old(I'm 17 now, so that's 7-8 years). I used to be absolutely fearless about them, I could do them anywhere, several at a time, I would do them in the backyard, outside at...

I'm just so frustrated right now. Maybe someone can give me perspective, or insight on what to do, but please try not to be mean, as I'm upset enough. My daughter moved to a new gym last January. She was supposed to come straight over as a new level 3 (they told me this BEFORE we moved), but...

I never get frustrated, but lately I get so frustrated I just want to cry. I also never get scared ever. Even my coach notices it now. I need tips. I hate going through practice like this. It's only on beam and beam is my fAvorite event!
