frustrated

I know this is normal and I know plenty of you will have a similar story, but I just have to vent and let out my frustration. I posted a few weeks back that DD was struggling with her kip. Basically she made some very easily and then couldn't do any for a long time. Finally last week the kip...

I have a very talented 9 year old gymnast who was diagnosed with Severs Disease this summer. I don't doubt that she has it, but I find it frusrating and confusing that most days she can handle practice with out heel cups or tape and some days she can't do anything. My question is if any other...

I am super frustrated right now. The gym was closed for 2.5 weeks for the Holidays and we have a meet in 3 weeks. I do T&T. Now my double mini coach will not allow me to do my old level 8 pass and is asking a lot for me to learn and perfect a new one that I am finding quite difficult in 3...

Well..I hate for my first post in this forum to be so negative, but I'm frustrated and feel like this is partly the purpose of the forum!;-) I'm mom to an 8-year old gymmie. We competed Level 5 last year and we're still waiting to hear what level we are going to be competing this year (big part...

I wanted to give a meet report and see if any can offer any advise along the way. DD had a meet on Saturday (The Gamecock Invite, Level 7) It's been a rough season so far for her with having to deal with disappointment (for the 1st time ever) and not performing the way she always has. A lot...

Today we went to our 3/4 level preteam class. My daughter has all the skills for the class and she doesn't wander around and pays attention. She is 4 in a class of 6 year olds. Today the coach told them to do their press handstand drills. This is my dd's third class and she hasn't recieved any...

So today at practice dd's coach decides that the composition of her beam routine doesn't work and she needs a new series before the first meet in two days. She's doing level 7 and the issue is she has three cartwheels in the routine. Her acro is BHS, cartwheel-cartwheel for series and...

Hi! This is my daughters 1st yr doing USAG Level 4. I'm very frustrated right now w what's going on in our gym. Could use some opinions from exp. mom's.( Her 1st meet ever she scored a 35 & has continued going up now she's scoring high 37's.)We have one meet left before states and the owner just...

I hate this. Last year even though I didn't like my coaches and they were making gym not fun for me, gym was way better. Like last year I had all my level 6 and level 7 skills, working on my 8. Then I took a break from gym and ever since i've been loosing skill after skill and getting tons of...

Okay this is my first year level 7 and i'm 15. I've been doing gymnastics for 9 years and this is my 6th year of team. These past few months have been hard, getting injurys and my body in general just really hurts. And nothing seems to be getting better, i've taken days off of tumbling so that I...

My coach is really nice and is always very encouraging. I am the only girl on my team who really likes gymnastics and works hard (i think). And my coach has realized that. I have been makeing HUGE progress lately and have been getting loads of complemints from my coaches...until yestarday...

Hey guys SO yesterday my coach decided that it would be a good idea to help me get over my fear of handstand forward rolls:o (i was always scared i would snap my neck or something =P) but he noticed that when i would roll, i wouldnt hollow out...like my back wouldnt curve in... SO he told me...

Yesterday we went to open gym at my daughters current gym. She loves open gym. She really wanted to work on her front hip circle and kip but everytime she would approach the bars where a coach was helping someone else the coach would turn around and leave or move to a different set of bars...

I am new to this site. I have a level 6 gymnast and she is becoming frustrated with one of her coaches that is yelling at her. I am not sure how to handle it.:(

The lack of innovation in Women's Artistic Gymnastics is frustrating to me. The same elements have been used for over 20 years now, with the exception of a few (very few) elements that are original. Watching competitions, especially on TV, I can tell what a female gymnast is going to perform...

I've been working on my flexibility lately and it's going well. I have my left leg more or less down, middle splits nearly down and my right leg in oversplits. I've been trying to what is basically this but on the floor http://www.ngtc.com/images/katrina%20ring%20jump2.jpg but with my foot...

As most of the regulars know, my almost 6 yo DD moved to team in April. She has been doing 2 practices a week (6.5 hours) and always seems to be happy when there. She had also been doing 1 day a week with her preteam class because they were practicing for their show. Tonight she asked me...

DD is VERY frustrated because she just cannot get her front mill circle. She makes it all the way around then bends that front leg and drops back. She said she is afraid she is going to fall. She said it makes her feel like she wants to quit. I asked if she really wanted to quit over the...
