Gymnasts Double Lay tips?
Maybe- but I think when you generate as much rotation as is required on a double lay, a side effect of creating that rotation is horizontal distance; so I don't know how realistic it is to get a strict upwards angle. ** as a person without any double lay experience to another 🤷♂️**- sun

Gymnasts Double Lay tips?
It looks pretty good. If you want to improve the short landing, I see room for improvement in 1. extending the legs fully when punching the backhandspring 2. overall body tightness throughout the setup and the double lay itself to preserve more of the rotational energy you've already generated...- sun

Coaches Kip rehab?
I have a gymnast who transferred from Xcel Gold at another gym - she got her two 36+ AA's as a Lv.4 and is now training for Lv.6 for the spring 2027 season. She's fine on L6 vault, beam and floor- but she is barely kipping on bars at the moment... In her Lv.4 season I helped get her kip cast to...- sun

Coaches Vault Tips: Half Full & Yurchanko Twisting Full

I would approach these vaults as mitigating rotation... I might try taking the board further away on the yurchenko because her entry angle is...- sun

Off Topic Introductions Thread (2025 Version)
Nice- did you play the original Fable? I've had the steam version on my wishlist for a while; never played it as a kid... curious if it holds up in 2026 and is worth playing or if I should wait for the new one. If you ever want to play Arc Raiders (I'm having fun being a noob at this) or Tetris... -
Off Topic Introductions Thread (2025 Version)
^What kind of video games? :) I joined this forum nearly 10 years ago- asking questions seeking guidance... I felt lost as I was first bringing kids up from compulsory->optionals. I visited a member of this forum who invited me to his gym- I took notes (still have them!)and he explained his... -

Coaches Elbows
IMO gymnasts with naturally hyper extending elbows should be cautious, but learn to lockout on everything that calls for straight elbows so they can become stronger in that vulnerable position. I think if you practice everything with a slight bend, then you accidentally lock-out or have no...- sun

Coaches want to improve as a coach with zero gymnastics experience
Be sure to communicate your passion to the squad coaches. I will eagerly invest energy into coaches who want to improve and I would think most team coaches are this way. Feel free to DM me whenever if you need help with anything. Happy to give my 2 cents.- sun

Parents Rip advice
Rinse, dry, then keep moist with neosporin and put a tape grip over it... keep applying neosporin if it starts to dry. Our kids seem to heal in ~2 days. Some of our kids like hexagels, too.- sun
