    Injury Ankle taping (front of ankle pain after sprain)

    the doctor gave me a brace that was loose and didn’t work well for me, I’m just trying to see if anyone knows a video for taping

    Injury Ankle taping (front of ankle pain after sprain)

    Does anyone know of a good and reliable website or video on how to tape an ankle to reduce pain in the front of the ankle? I can only find videos on taping to reduce twisting and my current taping method doesn’t work well.

    Thank you all for your replies, I wasn’t expecting so much help!

    Women Xcel to DP questions

    Staying in xcel is starting to seem like the best option. Also, out of curiosity, if an NAIGC athlete competes level 9 but has 10.0 SV for level 10, could she get recruited to a D1 program or is that mobility not possible since she would already be well into college? This is mainly just because...

    Yeah I agree, I have big goals but I don’t want to push it and end up getting an injury that prevents me from any gymnastics at all.

    Thank you for honest responses, I want to be able to set my goals realistically. I think if this is the case, I will likely stay in Xcel since I’d rather be Xcel Diamond or sapphire as a senior than a level 6/7 as a senior if that makes sense.

    Yeah, the flexibility of xcel is what’s making this difficult for me. Here’s what I compete: VT: half on half off FX: round off back layout, front pike UB: kip cast, clear hip, kip, squat on, kip, pike on half off dismount BB: cartwheel handstand, full turn, 2 jump series, cartwheel back tuck...

    Not yet, but I did work both of those skills last year which will, hopefully, make it easier to get them.

    Thanks! I have done a little research on petitioning already. Is level 8 common for seniors or are they usually higher?

    I’ve seen a few forums about this topic before but I just have some more specific questions. What DP level could an Xcel Platinum gymnast move to? I want to move to DP before I graduate (so I can do some form of college gym, possibly club) and I have two more seasons left until then. Would...
