    Parents Help with level 10 routine

    I think that is a little uncalled for. Kate was not insinuating anything about you or your child. She was just relating her own experience/viewpoint as an actual coach. You continue to do you. I will always say a parent knows more about their own child than any random poster on a message...

    Parents Help with level 10 routine

    Just taking a step back, big picture type thing, if you are coming to a message board for routine construction advice versus the coach that sees your child almost every day and should know better what your child can and cannot do..... I guess if you want to have some academic type discussion...

    Parents college dreams

    Everyone has an opinion, and on a message board you will get all of them. So here is mine. Yes, the previous disclaimers about making it to college are true, huge journey, lots of challenges to overcome before actually reaching it. BUT, there is no harm in educating and informing yourself...

    Parents How important is presentation in floor routine?

    Stay quiet mom. She will figure it out. Skills are more important, at least at this stage. Proficiency with skills will lead to confidence which in turn will lead to more "presentation". I dont think you need to worry about that until L10.

    This. Whether one is "successful" or not in qualifying, if the program is done correctly, its an excellent opportunity to improve strength and foundation form which is which all larger skills are built on

    Parents Big Gym or Little Gym

    Not sure the point of this? Asking for opinion on which is better? or just asking where posters go? Most folks go to the gym that is closest and easiest for them regardless of size. Perhaps if the get further along, more consideration is given to a different gym, but ultimately its about best...

    Parents Excel → DP? Rookie Gym Dad Asking Smarter People for Help

    A couple comments: Everyone is going to have different opinions based upon their experience. "my child did this...". Ultimately those experiences are based on a variety of factors. The gym, the coaches, the child, the geographic location etc. You know your child and all those things better...

    Parents When did you “know”?

    My daughter just signed with OU. I so prepared myself from message boards like here and other parents that it was a complete long shot. Probably wouldnt happen. I felt good when she won easterns, still knew that was not L10. It really wasnt until June 15th of her junior year that I finally...

    Anon Pursuit of D1 gymnastics financially unsound.

    I agree with previous posters, I think it is a very very small group that genuinely think pursuing gymnastics as a way to a college scholarship. I also think coaches at the club level have gotten pretty good at evaluating talent at a younger age and projecting out the possibility of college. I...
