I am posting this here because you all have been on a journey with me as I have shared my daughter's return to gymnastics from Spondyolothesis and a slipped disc. Last year as a level 7 she missed almost 10 weeks. She was cleared to return to bars only just before state last year (10 practices...
My girl just had the meet of her life. Last week she scored her first ever perfect 10 on bars. I really didn't think anything could top that. Well, tonight she scored TWO perfect 10s (vault and bars) and scored the highest AA score in the country with a 39.775.
Cannot wait for her college...
My DD's gym had their host meet this weekend. My DD scored 38 overall and placed first at every event with all 9.4 and above.
Super proud of her! And I am glad is was local so her grandparents got to watch too. That meant alot.
Her gym said they don't think they have ever had anyone place 1st...
You may know that I'm a L10.
I've been here for a few years, and now I've been angling to go elite my whole life. I've been given an exact year now: 2025, I can go up. Yesssss. Due to certain things I'll have to wait 2 years, and then I'll be living my childhood dream!!!!!
I really wanted to...
Have you done something recently that you're proud of? Post about it here!

Anyway, here's a short rock track that I banged out this morning...
Lily competed in her first elite national qualifier today and she achieved her goal. With a score of 52.7 she is officially a junior elite gymnast! Never been more proud of her. Can't wait to see what 2020 and beyond has in store for her!
had a fun time at state this year with the lv4s :D
we didn't place as well (18T of 77 compared to 7/73), but our team score was comprised of all 2nd year 4's last year, and all 11 of our 4's this year are first years, so I'm pretty happy
bars was pretty great, we went from an 8.9 averg with 16...
Congratulations to all the competitors at JO Nationals 2019. it was awesome witnessing some of the amazing gymnasts from around the country. DD's JrD group was on fire and won the session with a 154.050. It was rough waking up and having to compete at 5AM California time but DD did an amazing...
My daughter moved up today, heading off to middle school.
One boy, one girl recognized for outstanding physcial fitness achievement.
The boy, is the likely captain of the football team. He has been "the kid" since Kindy... No surprise there.
The girl, my girl. Gymnasts rock...
After the parent brag forum, we obviously couldn't stay behind.
Since not all gymnasts want to share their identity by sharing videos, I called this the gymnast brag thread instead of its adult counterpart the parent video brag thread.
Of course if you want to post videos that's fine, but...
After much thought and as a spinoff to What constitutes a braggy parent thread I decided to start a thread allowing us proud parents to post videos and watch videos of all these super hard-working athletes. I have already posted this video in the social forums so it is easier to post it here and...
This evening I made it to the gym to pick up my daughter a few minutes early and I caught the tail end of her practice. She was up on a beam, working on her bwobhs connection and I could see from the hallway that she was pretty scared of it. Her little arms and legs were shaking and she was...
Last night at practice we had time to practice bigger skills on tumbl trak with one of our coaches spotting. I warmed up with round off bhs bt off the end. The coach said I got a lot of height and told me to go for a layout. The ones that night were not perfect but still fun and I was really...
So my son struggled with fear issues last year and repeated level 7 for a 3rd year. Since last year he has been much more confident and willing to "go for" scary skills. Well last week he went back into "scared" boy mode and got in trouble for not going for a skill and ended up having to...
Of course the one time that I don't have my camera with DD throws a huge new skill and sticks it, twice!! Oh well, just so happy I was able to be there to see it. She did a 2.5 twist full (I think that's what the coaches called it) off of beam, and stuck it twice! They were planning on...
Hi all, I just wanted to post a quick mom brag. Yesterday my DD finally got her standing back tuck on the floor. A week ago she got her robhsbt. Tomorrow it will be her 1 year anniversary since starting gymnastics. I'm just so proud of that kid. When she started last year she couldn't do a...
I finally did my Korbut on the high beam with no spot yesterday :D Really exciting for me because I finally have a flight skill that I can't wobble on. I know I need work on my form, but hey ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. First one ever! This was towards the first few I did.
