    Parents Gold Over America Tour

    Hi. Was there an email sent detailing what can be worn as part of the Gold Squad and the music? This was done in 2021 but haven’t seen anything yet. Thanks

    Women Coaches doing conditioning with their gymnasts?

    Different sports but used to play LAX and my coach used to run with us and I found it a good thing because the couch was in the trenches with us and it added a sense respect between coaches and athletes. I also thought it added a layer of authenticity to show the coach walked the walk and talked...

    Women Jordan Chiles Stripped Of Bronze Medal… USOPC Appealing

    The decision to take away the medal was rushed and there must be accountability and repercussions for it from FIG and IOC they can only point fingers at each other for only so long. They could have slowed all this down but they rushed the decision to avoid a boycott from the Romanian PM during...

    Women Jordan Chiles Stripped Of Bronze Medal… USOPC Appealing

    I will not try to be the armchair judge but if the judge missed something and it was acknowledged during the inquiry the decision should stand. I think the Romanian PM and Nadia stoked the fire and the arbitration decision was rushed in a failed attempt to appease the PM so he would not...

    Parents How to you deal with the Mom drama at the gym?

    Very sorry to hear. Time for a firm conversation with the owner and suggest a code of behavior for the parents and athletes to follow. Being out right disrespectful and cursing in the lobby or in proximity to the athletes and families should not be tolerated. Check the attitude at the door or...

    Parents Gym Change Was the Right Decision

    Sometimes it is finding the right chemistry and environment for your athlete to attain their goal. Don’t feel limited or the need to be exclusive to the gym but do check out the other gym(s) to see the potential opportunities for improvement and how well your athlete will adjust.

    Parents For those who have changed gyms…

    We changed gyms two years ago and we decided not to broadcast our move I wanted a quiet separation. I stayed friendly with the parents and coach on FB. We were all supportive of the girls’ accomplishments. When we competed a couple of time together this past season the girls were friendly with...

    Off Topic Gymnastics with glasses

    My DD uses prescription sports glasses and has been using them for well over the past year. They are like goggles with a strap to keep it in place.

    Parents Abrupt end of her season...

    I am so sorry to hear. As a parent these situations are always tough but you should keep your head up and try to get your DD focused on healing. Timing is never good and my DD had an injury days before states and was only able to do two events. She wasn’t gutted and was in a good frame of mind...
