Yes he did, very insensitive I personally don't like his commentary

Tim daggett did say that, as my daughter is adopted also, I also cringed and wondered how that sounds to her

My daughter is having wrist pain with extension of wrist with weight bearing. Went to doctors growth plate fine but wrists very lax, a lot of movement. So he suggested tiger paws, whose head coach not believer in. Anyone have experience with this?

So I understand the limitations of the video with ball in Leo, but is it worth trying coachp? One of the coaches thinks she may be 'blocked', if the ball helped her make a few maybe her confidence would increase?

Thanks all for the encouraging stories! I am interested to see the video, could not get it to work. I think she has tried a million drills, even wearing sneakers! Anyone heard that one? She has tried long hang kips and again with small spot makes them,none without. I will keep the faith!!!

Thanks for the encouraging replies, I try to not be an interfering mother and talk to coaches but my daughter has told her they say it all looks good, shift her wrists... And so close... She has always had to work for her strength but has gotten a lot stronger in last 6 months , I know I can't...

Thanks for replies, we have had many privates with many different coaches, all say she is close, she has tried just getting up there bending her arms but that is not working either. She has all L 5 skills in other events now but I'm sure will stay in L4, I don't think xcel is option even tho it...

The coaches tell her she is close, but they have told her this for 6 months or more. She doesn't want to muscle it up, she wants to make it with straight arms. She has gotten a lot stronger in last 6 months also. The coach has offered privates, just have not been able to schedule. I know it's...

She wants to continue with gymnastics , coach said she can move up and scratch bars until she gets it. But that is a lot of pressure, and in spite of how long she has been trying only has voiced frustration once. Have u ever seen a gymnast fail to get their kip? Thanks for the advice

My daughter has been seemingly close to getting her kip for maybe 8 months. Last season stayed in L3 because of missing kip. Was hopeful that this summer she would finally get it, but nothing yet in spite of 4 day/week practice. Is it possible that she won't be able to get it? She has all other...
