    Women What was your daughter's experience on getting an offer from college

    And she's off to such a great start at that school! I'm glad it worked out for her.

    Women Best Xcel Diamond Vault Option

    Many diamonds just have a lower start value on vault. Super nor.al.

    Women Best Xcel Diamond Vault Option

    It depends on what vaults you've been training and what resources you have. Our gym didn't have a way to vault into a pit so we focused on handspring twisting progressions - handspring half off, half on half off, handspring full off, etc.

    Anon Owner searching bags for cell phones

    Is there another coach who is close to the owner that you would feel comfortable talking to? Maybe gently trying to figure out if there was something that has triggered this extreme opinion about cell phones? I agree that there has to be something else going on. It is absolutely inappropriate...

    Can you upgrade to half on full off?

    Women National Xcelebration coming in 2027

    Calling is Xcelebration just makes it sound more like an invitational vs actual championships, that's why I was curious.

    He really doesn't have medal potential at worlds. Everyone they're sending does. I'm actually most bummed about Colt Walker struggling on pbars night two because his routine is world class.

    Women Yurkchanco Vault Xcel Diamond

    At the gym I coached at, they all did the twisting progressions. That was actually the upgrade for golds with strong handspring vaults. Many platinums did handspring half off and then in diamond did the full off.

    The first criteria for national team is worlds team . The neutral deductions podcast actually predicted this or a similar outcome.

    Well if Brody is going to go 16.25 on high bar I guess I'll have to take maybe Burkhart off for him? And Richard is so much better today too.

    Women National Xcelebration coming in 2027

    Is it going to be a real championships? I feel like if it's not truly competitive, a lot of gyms won't be interested. There are already a lot of strong gyms in our area who opt out of regionals. The gym where I coached Xcel was very intentionally low cost/low commitment so I could see those...
