    Parents My First Brag

    Hi, I promise I won't brag/share every little moment (none of them feel little). My DD was so proud of herself I want to share. My DD went to IGC Thanksgiving clinic. They had a handstand contest with everyone in the clinic watching. First she won for longest handstand for all 7 year olds...

    Parents Quick Brag! Two new skills in one day!

    So now that regionals is done, "summer" up training is happening in our gym right now. I picked DD up today and she was grinning from ear to ear. She told me that she got her KIP today (she's been so close for a while lol) and also her round off back handspring back tuck on the floor! She is...

    MAG Anyone have a Nationals story or brag?

    Our JE guy made National team for his level and medalled in 3 events, and one of our JO guys medalled in one event. But they're just "guys I know," I'd love to hear if anyone here has some proud moment to share!

    Parents My kid got medals!!!!!! (Brag)

    So so so so pleased for my DD right now! First time she's ever medalled (she has a couple, but from comps where everyone got one :P ) and she walked away with 3 today! 1st place floor, 3rd place vault, and 2nd place team! Ironically she was considering scratching both floor and vault because of...

    Parents She got her GIANTS!!!!! Brag alert

    I am soooooooooooooo happy for her!!!!! She had been working hollow body 3/4 Giants for a month and was dying to do real ones on the wood bar.......she got her chance tonight, and after 4 tries, they looked pretty good! I guess the drills really pay off.... Thanks to the great coaches.

    MAG Braggy Brag

    My son has a list of conditioning exercises from his coach that he's supposed to do, but they're sort of old school and "boring", so he never does them and I don't push him. But he does often do handstands against the wall or floor routine stuff in the grass and yadda yadda. Sometimes, we watch...

    Parents Proud mom brag!

    I've posted a few times about DD's struggles throughout this season with back tumbling fear. She scratched 3-4 meets on floor because of this. Through many many many tears, and lots of frustration, she and her coach worked it out. Now she is pushing herself, "Mama, I did 2 back handsprings, I...

    WAG Coach brag!

    So I just had to brag about this! Tonight, after working on it specifically for only about two weeks, Giada (one of my advanced girls) got her pike press handstand, one of the hardest types of presses in gymnastics! I am SO PROUD! This is due to a long term conditioning plan that was put in...

    Parents Momma brag alert :)

    So our State Meet was this weekend. We are a gym from a very rural area of our state but definitely are well respected for what we are. My sassy little 7 yo ROCKED IT today at comp!!! Couldn't be prouder!!! Finished 16th out of almost 300 level 3 kiddos and had the highest vault score of the...

    Parents Mommy Brag just because it's been a rough fall

    DD is still working towards her first meet of the season and progress has been slow and skills seem to be going backwards in some areas. So it makes being able to celebrate a new skill very special this time. Tonight DD landed her double back off the bars and just nailed a stuck landing. It...

    Parents Small brag alert!

    So so proud of DD. First comp with her new club (she's been there since mid Sept and has not properly competed before now), and she came 7th on bar and on vault out of 43 girls in her age group :) She's really pleased with how she did, so was her HC. Think we were all a little nervous after...

    Off Topic Brag!

    This is an off topic brag, so I figured it was better here. My older DD just received word today that she has been accepted as a Jack Kent Cooke Young Scholar. We are all over the moon. In addition to being an awesome educational opportunity for her through high school and beyond, they will...

    *Brag* The kip has been made!!

    So tonight, I did my kip! I really don't want to sound snotty, but the first time I did it, it was practically perfect. I had straight arms and it felt so effortless. I've had the strength for a while it was about timing for such a long time. The second and third time were not as clean and I...

    Parents Woooohoooo! She got it!! (Proud parent brag moment)

    She got IT!!! Her kip!! My just-turned-7 yo DD, got it! So exciting! Coach got it on video for me even! Coach said the gym had never cheered louder than they did today as she got closer and closer to getting it until she finally did, a few times in a row! Wish I could've been there! (Not going...

    Coaches Coaching brag :-)

    We recently had our team banquet. The head coach had each girl say something about the season...and it was a very proud coaching moment for me when my team named a skill or performance they were proud of--but not a single one of mine mentioned scores or placements. Which, btw, was not the norm...

    WAG New outfit brag

    I just wanted to brag about my gymmie's newest outfit for gym! I made a matching purple asymmetrical skirt for when she goes to dance. Really, dance costumes and gym outfits are just so much fun to sew!
