    Gymnasts Best way to deal with fear and hesitation?

    I have dealt with this a lot. I actually have been hurt kind of a lot, but mostly just sprains. It’s really tricky when you get in that spot because it’s hard to shake the feeling. Something that helps me is this: I imagine a little part of my brain is glowing a color that makes me feel calm and...

    Women How to talk to a coach about a frustration without offending her

    Hi, I am frustrated because of my gym practice last night. I am getting ready to go to platinum and have almost all of my skills. Floor is my weak spot as I am not very good at tumbling because I have had frequent growth spurts that can really mess up my gymnastics, but I still try really hard...

    Gymnasts Help and advice

    hi! I got my bhs a bit late too and here are some tips. Use a boulder to practice correct shapes. Use a wedge mat for more momentum. Practice handstand blocks to strengthen your shoulders to help you pop off of your hands in the bhs. Practice handstand snap downs and bridge shape. Do lots of...

    Gymnasts Xcel Gold help

    I know this is pretty late but I think this is super weird because I am in gold and every other gold gymnast I know is allowed to do a double back hip circle or a back hip circle on high bar and low bar so this seems weird

    Coaches What are the steps to

    Hi! I’ll share what happened with me when I joined gymnastics and it should hopefully be helpful. I was in rec classes at around 6 and a half after I had quit dance and then about a year later I was asked to be moved to a competitive team. Being 7, I obviously didn’t know whether to pick...

    Gymnasts Growth spurt

    I am in xcel gold and just got a little growth spurt of like half an inch and just that much height has really thrown me off. I am falling on my cartwheel on beam, not landing my front tuck dismount, and having very weird tumbling passes. My consistent Kip is now very inconsistent and my cast is...

    Gymnasts Skills for level 6

    Hi! I am on xcel gold and have similar skills to yours. I’m sure your coaches have said this but one tip is to fly in the air for just a second before tucking. Do not tuck while still holding onto the bar, it will for sure cause you to either hit your feet on the bar or wind up very close to the...
