    Parents Help for unmedicated daughter with ADHD in tumbling

    My daughter is 9 and has been tumbling since April. She’s really good (she moved over from trampoline) and has quickly picked up skills to move up the groups in her gym. We went on holiday in summer and she came back with the biggest mental block ever and just refused to flic. Her coaches have...

    Parents Daughter frustrated

    Hi everyone. My daughter is 10 and she trains with the lowest competitive group in the club she belongs to. This is only for 4 hours a week and they only compete on floor and vault. I top this up with 4 hours of lessons from the local authority, where she is outgrowing their programme, training...

    Anon Timing of ADHD meds

    For those of you with gymnasts on ADHD meds, do you adjust the timing of when you give them based on her meet schedule? My DD takes an extended release formula, but the manufacturer’s info shows the INR is highest around 4-5 hours after taking it and tapers off quickly after about 8 hours. We...

    Coaches ADHD gymnast

    We have a young gymnast at our gym. She's quite physically talented. She is on ADHD meds, I believe she said 2 times a day. I sometimes feel like she could be overmedicated, as she can be very spacey, as I call it, and also extremely tired acting. She is mostly like this towards the end of a...

    WAG Does anybody have any at home conditioning lists or schedules for that level of skill, or routine advice from other ADHD gymnasts?

    I’m a gymnast in a very relaxed team. I’m not the strongest or the fastest or the one with the best form, but I do have the highest level skills of our team. Most are working what would be level 3-4, some level 2 and our age group is 11-15. I’m 13 and training level 5 and 6 skills. However, our...

    Parents Questions for parents of kids with ADHD

    My daughter is 8 years old and competing her first year on team. I can see her ADHD interfere at practice. I can see she forgets what she is supposed to at stations, and she has a hard time taking multi-step directions/corrections, etc. We are considering starting her on ADHD meds soon and I am...

    WAG Simone and adhd

    ....anyone else read the article about the drug testing getting hacked, and people finding put Simone had clearance to take medicine on the banned list due to adhd? I loved her tweets afterwards. And it should give hope to those whose children have adhd and do gymnastics. :)

    Parents ADHD or Just Naughty

    WAG ADHD gymnasts and staying tight/sticking stuff?

    Before I joined CB, I thought we had a little prodigy on our hands. My middle child (7) is a fearless little tumbler, super flexible, really good on bars, and is a constant blur of motion. She has ADHD but has come really far this past year behaviorally and in terms of working hard on team...

    Parents Advice for ADHD child on team...maybe too immature?

    My husband and I are super frustrated with our daughter. She is in first grade and will be 7 in a couple of months, so she's still young. She is immature for her age behaviorally as far as being silly and having no impulse control. She has been diagnosed with ADHD and has a learning issue too...

    Parents Young Gymnasts with ADD/ADHD?

    Hi, my little gymnie is 6 going to be 7. She hasn’t been diagnosed with ADD/ADHD, but probably will be. She is very athletic and we've been told by her coach that she has some raw talent in gymnastics. Last season her coach invited her to train over the summer and then if all went well, my...
