    NCAA Mountain West History

    I'm coming back to say that Air Force broke 196 for the first time in program history. This is a team on the rise!

    I mean funky progressions. Generally you see a pretty standard progression - so not having the Giants down is odd with some of her other skills. Beam series more typically progress around back handspring series. There are probably a lot of holes that a lot of higher level coaches would struggle...

    This actually looks pretty good!

    Men Winter Cup/Elite Team Cup 2026

    I never know those things! Nastia was filming dancing with the stars in LA while attending NYU. Maybe some of his classes are asynchronous/online?

    Parents Help with level 10 routine

    I'll speak as a coach: no, I don't really want the parents of my athletes asking the Internet for ideas for skills for their child to try. I want them to know that I have the knowledge and the resources to put together the best possible routine composition for their child. If I'm not sure, maybe...

    Men Winter Cup/Elite Team Cup 2026

    And I think Fred has already missed or not competed in some of Michigan's meets. Case in point - did he miss for the winter Olympics? It all just seems a bit odd. Again hopefully we'll hear some more on the reasoning. I'll have to keep listening to neutral Deductions to see if they get any...

    Good point, although there are some other NCAA athletes doing assignments. I hope we learn more about the process. I'm glad Yul is doing American cup though

    He just easily won the all around so I have to assume he was offered them.

    He had a great meet, I was just surprised! I hate his uniform though. My husband says he really doesn't get it because there are tons of other men's sports where tight clothing makes sense - wrestling, track, swimming, and his unlikely addition, football. "Do you even know how tight football...

    Leykin on high bar is a great routine! It's been so nice to see Yul hitting and looking strong too. I'm also surprised at Fred Richard being here - hasn't he been in Milan doing social media for the Olympics?

    I'm going to be honest, it's tricky. She has a lot of funky progressions. What's going on with her current coaches? What are her goals? Can she do an assessment as another gym?

    I can't picture how you would connect that. Do you have a video?

    Parents Improvement in season

    Oh yes, for bronze I'm definitely just continuing to do those basics at practice, build strength, and then work skill progressions. The requirements for bronze are really quite simple - bronze, silver and gold are all actually considered entry level, meaning that you could start with gold and...

    Parents Improvement in season

    In general, sure, you do often see improvement as the season progresses. However, with her already scoring in the mid 9s, as a coach, getting to 9.8s isn't really going to be my priority unless she's about to be a recruitable level 10 and is trying to qualify to and place at nationals. If...

    Anon "bad" teams vs. "good" teams

    Speaking from a low hours team that won team titles at 5-9 hours a week Xcel bronze-diamond, it starts with a strong feeder program. They trained coaches and developed our rec curriculum so everyone coming through it was well conditioned with strong basics. Then you get into making the most out...
