    Women Decisions…

    So for some background info, I’m going to high school next year. My school will be about 25 mins from my house, and my gym is 45 mins from my house (in the other direction). Since I found out I was going to this school I got myself settled on the idea of 3 school sports that I really wanted to...

    Women L7…?

    So I’m about to be starting my level 6 season and I’m in pretty good shape. I’ve just been thinking ahead to next year and wondering if it’s realistic that I could make it to 7 next year. I was originally thinking that I would repeat 6, but after thinking about it I fell like I might be able to...

    Gymnasts Tiger paws

    My coach said that same thing about using them and then not being able to tumble without them, so I’m not allowed to wear them on floor. However she does allow me to wear them for vault. As long as you’re allowed to I don’t see any reason why you shouldn’t. There are excel golds at my gym that...

    Women Our worst fails!

    I have so many… One specific one I remember was going for a front handspring front tuck, I want for the front handspring but I guess I just decided that was a no, so I threw myself onto the floor on my stomach instead of tucking. I have fails on all events, but one on bars, I had just caught...

    Women Bad metal block on beam

    So my original plan was my bhs, then obviously my double bwo. But those probably won’t happen. So I could do a double cartwheel, a round off, or something random like a front walkover cartwheel.

    Women Bad metal block on beam

    It’s honestly to the extent where I have a second where I feel like I might bail when I do it on the ground. I have thought about just giving it up, but I don’t want to do that because I kind of need for if I go 7 next year or any year and I want to do a bwo bhs.

    Women Bad metal block on beam

    So I had my back walkover on beam about a year ago and then I fell and got a mental block on it from that point on. From then up to now I have mostly been working my bhs on beam, which I will only do with a light spot. Anyway I started working on my bwos again just in case I don’t get my bhs in...

    Parents Any words of wisdom? XCEL Gold to Level 4

    Well, I competed silver 3 seasons ago and then switched to level 4 which I did for two years, I did ok my first year and then improved a ton on my repeat year. I would just say that the scoring is a lot harder than excel, and level 4 is a challenge but if your daughter is looking for that I...
