    Men Wrist overuse injury

    Unfortunately, this is a reality for many. It really sucks. And I am sorry the coach made him continue with horse when he was in so much pain. Going to the PT is a great idea, and honestly, if you have the option for an urgent care, you could get an xray done and that might speed things up...

    Anon Leaving senior year

    Has she said she wants to retire? If so, then give her permission to do that. But if she has not, I would let her figure things out on her own. She may want to just do what she can this season, and finish at the end of the season, and there is nothing wrong with that. I think you take her...

    Anon Saluting & thanking coaches?

    I agree. I liked the handshake and the interactions it brought.

    Anon Saluting & thanking coaches?

    My son's gym did something similar. They would line up in height order at the end of practice, stuff was said (I have no idea) then they would start with the smallest in a line with handshakes for the coaches. Usually the coaches were the ones giving individual kudos during this time. I kind...

    Women Can i switch from excel gymnastics to JO?

    Age is one factor. If you are below a certain age, you have to start at L4 and score out. Otherwise you can petition into JO, and I think L7 is the highest you can petition into. Also you would need to find a gym that can do this. How old are you?

    Men routine question

    Almost always! With L7 and up, changes can be made as needed, in practice, in meets, heck, sometimes mid routine the kiddo might change what he is doing (my son was a master of this!). Usually coaches like the skill to be ready, and then they can try it in meets. Ad you get closer to...

    Parents Communication dilemmas

    Get detailed lists of what she can and cannot do. Get it from a PT or Dr. A good coach will use that to guide practice. Then your daughter does not have to. But it would also be good for her to speak up and let them know when it is hurting. My son went through a few soft tissue injuries...

    Parents Fractured Ankle- training while injured

    My son broke his ankle, and was in a boot for like 6-8 weeks. He wore a weight on the other ankle and did swings over the pit on high bar and rings. HE did lots of core work, strength, handstands, etc. Obviously, as a boy, he could do some things on rings, high bar, pbars and pommel, but...

    Parents Importance of gym having higher level gymnasts

    When my son's gym closed, and we had to switch gyms, they had no L9s or 10s. He was coming in at level 9. They had him compete lower to start the season, then moved him to 9. He made nationals and placed 10th. He moved to level 10 the next year, still the only one, and made nationals again...
