    Parents So, this Doc Ali about whom you all speak-

    @thefellowsmom-how old is your daughter? Just trying to figure if it is worth trying something more from the site based upon age. :)

    Parents So, this Doc Ali about whom you all speak-

    She has some awesome stuff on her website-even free stuff if you don't want to commit to a program for a few months. All good stuff about mindset and being intentional in preparation. Better for kids a little older-my 8 yo didn't really click with it, but my 10 year old liked the concepts a...

    WAG How Many Elite Gyms?

    How many of the current Junior level Elites competed at HOPES at either age group? Is it a necessary step?

    WAG How Many Elite Gyms?

    Anyone on this thread (or watching) know how many Elites there are in the US? I am sure it is out there, but I can't seem to find it. My ODD has her eyes on Elite, so I am very curious.

    Parents sleepovers during meet season?

    My older girlie ended up learning a tough lesson. We usually say no to sleepovers, but this was a birthday party sleepover with school friends. No meets for three weeks-and on the first week due to being over tired she hit her head somehow...then complained of a headache. Coaches were worried of...

    WAG Strength. Is it genetic?

    @profmom-any special nutrition tricks you have found? I kind of wonder if my girl burns muscle faster than she builds it. She is rarely sore from conditioning and eats all the time! Healthy stuff and we have been increasing protein. Always looking for other ideas to help her. My YDD seems to be...

    WAG Strength. Is it genetic?

    Thank you!!! This is very helpful!! My girlie needs to eat so frequently throughout the day, but the public school environment makes that so difficult since they allow just one snack per day and often no peanut butter. At home she eats all day long when she isn't at gym training. Keep the ideas...

    WAG Strength. Is it genetic?

    I have one daughter who is clearly an Ectomorph-very flexible and does well in bars & beam, as well as floor dance. Wondering what some of you have learned about dietary suggestions to help increase power and strength for the different body types. I searched the past posts but could not find...

    Just saying Hi!

    Hi! I am a mom of two dedicated gymnasts. One preparing for a L4 season and one ready for L7 and working on that tough L8 vault. We are enjoying the ride and will see where the journey takes us! Looking forward to sharing insights and learning together.

    Parents Sharp's home raided last night

    Yes...I know a lot of details are out there...which don't need to be shared here in this forum. I was trying to make the point that it is a reminder to have the tough conversations with our children about this "stuff." Not to be paranoid and go making accusations or "freak out", but to talk...

    Parents Sharp's home raided last night

    We don't know all the details of this man's abuses of both his status as a trusted grown up and coach, or what the red flags were that he was doing hurtful things to children. Thankfully someone spoke up with credible information and now he will have to face the consequences of his decisions. It...

    WAG Strength. Is it genetic?

    Similar struggle here! My older girl is incredibly flexible, but strength is a challenge. We keep trying to increase her protein intake and encourage her to do the press handstands. Patience with this is not easy, but as the season progresses, she has done well. We will see for this year as well!

    Parents Puma Jr. is a little disappointed, but still looking forward to a great season!

    This sounds like just a temporary setback. Polishing and refining all the basic compulsory skills will make Optionals that much easier for her!
