    Anon Gym quietly ending evening practices

    I’m so sorry that’s so sad. We often compete against Bull City and I’m always amazed by the talent and polish those girls display. Hoping the dust settles and everyone ends up in a good new situation.

    Just an update- she’s now doing standing back tucks on her own, got her flyaway, and will connect a tuck to her ROBHS without stopping with a spot. I guess patience really is key!

    Thanks so much! They really just started working them and there really isn’t a hurry. She hasn’t even had her state meet yet so they’re just beginning to uptrain- you’re totally right about patience. I’ve watched her learning process with other skills and it just seems like her hesitation to...

    Obviously I can’t help but sending you hugs…nothing fun when they’re in their head about something like that.

    It sounds like you are at a big transition in life in many ways and are having all the emotions that come with change and perceived endings; worry, sadness, exhaustion, nostalgia. I think all that can be done in those times is to get comfortable sitting in those emotions and let yourself go...

    So so true! She really radiates joy for her sport and respect for all that went into her success.

    Haha I know, I have seen your posts about them! She doesn’t tumble on it much at all- her sisters use it more than she does mostly for just jumping and for reading in the sunshine. 😆 We just rushed out to try this particular thing since you gave good advice. No worries. I don’t think she has...

    Thank you! She tried some and the drops themselves looked good but no matter what she couldn’t rebound back to her feet. Not sure if that’s a her issue or a home trampoline issue.

    Thanks so much! I showed her all of these ideas and she feels very confident she can do them so I guess we will give it the college try and see how it goes. Her current coach is wonderful and we love her but she is more of a let them try it coach and doesn’t spend huge amounts of time on...

    Women Back tuck trepidation

    Any advice for handling fears around learning a ROBHBT? My DD(7) is a more cautious gymnast who only attempts skills when she feels very ready and has sufficiently mulled it over in her mind. She doesn’t have major fears but has had to work through some anxieties with jumping to high bar (had...

    We smiled at that little head tilt too. My daughter is a tiny blond muscle baby too and so she could really see herself in that video. The runway is so long for those littles! I’m so glad you kept snd shared that sweet moment. I have nowhere near the experience in this sport that you do and...

    Parents Revive ME!!!

    It’s been a long, long road for you so I can’t imagine not occasionally feeling that way! Recently using search on chalk bucket I came across a post with the video you posted of your amazing DD when she was six vaulting and showed it to my own DD who was six and struggling at the time to master...

    Hi I am a mom of 3- currently one competitive gymnast and one preschool gymnast. Oldest tried for a while too but didn’t love it and struggled as her younger sister was moved into higher levels quickly and so moved onto other things. Middle daughter recently turned 7 and is finishing up her...
