    Women Level 7 Mental Block

    You don’t deserve to be yelled at for being a normal person with a nervous system that is designed to avoid danger. Pressure like that only makes mental blocks worse! It doesn’t sound like this is a positive environment for your mental health. I’m sorry you are going through this. My first...

    Parents Team Sponsorship

    Most youth sports leagues are nonprofit organizations. Private gyms are for-profit businesses. It’s a very different situation legally.

    Parents Team Sponsorship

    Unless your gym is a nonprofit (e.g. YMCA) , you would have to have a registered 501c3 booster club in order to legally accept donations or sponsorships. Business cannot “donate” to individuals or other businesses.

    Anon Recruiting question and mail confusion

    My friend’s 10-year-old, who is training HOPES, just got a big recruiting packet in the mail from Georgia! She is in elementary school! They are definitely “active” on the mail front!

    Women Changing Bar Settings?

    That was one of my big frustrations as a gymnast. I was a foot taller than many of my teammates and The coaches didn’t want to waste time adjusting the bars for just me. It felt bad. I don’t have a solution except for talking with the coach.

    Women Press handstands

    Almost all young gymnasts struggle with press handstands. Building up the strength and technique to accomplish this skill takes time and practice. And kids lose this skill pretty easily too. It’s just a thing to keep working on.

    Parents Potential Safe Sport Violation?

    A follow request on social media does not strike me as inappropriate. A DM strikes me as inappropriate. I would simply block the person and move on.

    Parents Struggling to make a good gym transfer decision

    . Okay. So your current gym is too far away and they are not offering you the kind of preteam program you are looking for—cross that one off the list. The one you are trialing may be too much of an increase in hours/intensity and the coaches give you bad vibes—if nothing changes, you’ll...

    I wonder if the Special Olympics has a coaching manual. They do offer gymnastics.
