Thanks so much for all the encouraging words . She is actually hanging out with her gym friends now ! Her travel coach had her work out with her old team today and invited her back on ! She is pretty sure she is going to do it . :) I'm so proud of her for handling this so well .
They are going to X-ray her wrist every six months and if they fuse properly , then the risk is gone and she could return. She is getting an MRI on both wrist to see the extent of the damage . The one thing she isn't going to miss is the pain . She has been in pain for a long time . Her...
I've posted on here before about my 12 year old daughter and her hand surgeries . She's a level 9 and we were told about a year ago that she had mild gymnast wrist syndrome. After 2 hand surgeries for a different problem , she was finally released to start training and her wrist were hurting bad...
Thanks everyone ! Yes , she is in PT to help strengthen her hands and wrists. I think it's just going to take time . She did giants today in bars so that is a start and she did overshoot drills .
Thanks so much , all great advice . So true .. I just want her to be happy . She is not a natural born gymnast, she's more of a natural athlete that would excel at any sport . She's a great runner so track would be good . She by no means wants to quit as of now but I always tell her she can come...
My daughter is a powerful kind of gymnasts, not so much graceful and is getting a new floor routine . Any suggestions of music especially ones you don't hear at every meet ? Thanks !!
My 12 year old daughter (L9) had been put off/on with 2 hand surgeries in the past 6 months . Now she is all healed and training full force going into summer . She is doing well but getting frustrated about certain skills such as the series on beam and bars . Bars has always been challenging for...
My daughter is 12. She has had 2 back to back surgeries which has put a halt to full time gymnastics . She still goes 16 hours and week and conditions and lots of core strength as well as jumps in beam /floor , anything that doesn't use her hands which is where the injuries were .
Shes a level...
My 12 year old L9 didnt qualify this year . She needed a 32AA . She didn't do AA until the last meet of the season due to injury and she didn't make it (31.3) . I saw in another post that to qualify for states , someone needed a 29? So I was just curious if it differed state to state . We live...
The more I'm thinking about it , going backwards would crush her mentally . So she will just plug away until she's ready to compete again at L9! She is talented and her coach truly believes in her . I totally agree L9 is hard no matter what and it's equally as hard mentally . The skills are...
She wears wrist guards for all events except bars and her coach won't let her yurchenko until her hands are completely healed . Shes been doing tsuks .
Her drive and determination is what will help her . The positive is she will be cleared of everything goes smoothly mid May and doesn't compete...
Well I will try to keep this short. It's been a rough road . Let me back up 18 months . My Daughter was a L8 at the time (age 10) and got a stress fracture in her ankle right after competition season . She trained for L9 that summer and made the L9 team . 2 meets in last year ( now age 11) she...
