    Parents Finding balance

    I know this topic has been discussed in different ways in different threads, but I'd like to open it again (because it's cheaper than therapy ;) ). Let me start with an anecdote.

    Balance beam

    Does anyone else think that the gymnasts of this quad (with the exception of ASac) are more timid about the beam than those in the last quad. I mean, ASac, Nastia, Shawn, and the rest really attacked the beam head on. It seems to me like the 'new' senior elites aren't very aggressive on the...

    Parents Finding a good balance

    I've been struggling with the decision to let DD miss gym for 2 hours a week to go to 2 dance classes. I don't want her to miss gym, but I think she's way to young to have to sacrifice her interests for gymnastics. I left the decision up to her and she initially decided not to miss gym. That...

    Keeping balance with one leg up doing a BWO

    I'm a beginner, and I can do a back bridge to kick over easily, but when it comes to putting my leg up before, it's very hard, and many times my hands will reach to the ground and I will fall over to my side, especially if I'm trying to put my hands together as if I were doing it on beam. What...
