    Women Who Pays for Coach's Education?

    Do your team coaches go to regional and national congress? How about other continuing education courses? If so, who pays for these? Does the owner/ head coach, booster club, or other? Does your booster club have a budget for continuing education for team coaches? If so, how much? I'm...

    Parents New Mantra Heard from Coach

    With all of the talk of moving up and what group our DDs are in right now, I thought you all would enjoy what I heard DD coach say after being asked for probably 100th time what level is ----- He was jumping on tramp (girls were getting ready for pit bar) and every time he bounced he said...

    Women Does talking with the coach really make a difference?

    I watched dd's practice yesterday. Her practices are very long and I usually just drop her off at the curb and hubby picks her up at the end of practice. DD's group that has been training level 9 was split. It appeared to me that she was with the "low expectations" girls. The fact that they...

    Off Topic Coach is leaving next week :(

    Well, as you can tell from the title, my coach is leaving next week. We have two more practices, and then she's done. She has taught me everything I have learned in the short 7-8 months I've been doing gym, and I honestly can't imagine training with anyone else! We are throwing a going away...

    Parents DD's Attachment to Coach

    I'm sure this is more common than I know, but was wondering has your DD/DS ever been so attached to a coach she comes home crying because they miss that coach? My DD's lvl 4 coach left for another local gym and she was devistated. The coach was kind enough to meet with my DD a couple of months...

    Coaches New Coach.. Any tips?

    So I'm a 16 year old guy, and I've been doing recreational gymnastics for the past 6 years. Recently I got a job offer from my gym. They want me to start 'shadowing' the current coaches this summer and eventually start teaching some of the littler (mom and me, maybe 4-5 year olds) kids. I'm...

    Parents Need Ideas for Thank You Coach poems

    Looking for poems thanking a gymnastics coach. DD has come so far with all of the help this year from her private coach and we really want to let her know how much we appreciate all she has taught our DD. Thanks for any and all ideas.

    Parents Do you ever worry that the coach "doesn't like" your DD/DS?

    I never really gave this much thought until recently. DD says that she feels like head coach is always correcting her, much more than anyone else in her group - and really the girls are all very similar right now. Most of the repeaters are getting very similar scores. DD feels like at...

    Women My coach is leaving and other stuff

    So last week my coach told me at adult gym that she had a job interview and if she got the job she would not be staying to coach. So this week she had the interview and broke the news to the rest of the squad today. We get a new coach next week (current coach will coach with her for a week) and...

    Women Thank You, Coach montage

    This is a montage I made a while ago that was inspired by the P&G commercial Thank You, Mom. I loved that one, so I decided to make a gymnastics version of it. This is dedicated to my amazing coach, who has honestly changed my life. My previous coach could be very degrading and insulting, and I...

    Parents Warning from the coach

    So I popped in at the end of practice yesterday and was making small talk with Dd's coach about what they plan to do with her in the fall. She wanted to "warn" me that Dd will most likely be competing the new level 5 in the fall and doing backhandsprings on the beam. This is a huge jump since...

    Women Question on a rude coach?

    Hey guys, so last season I had the nicest coaches because the one I have now, "quit." Well she came back when the other coaches ended up leaving because of family issues. Now, this coach thinks she's everything and more. She has pretty much taken over the head coach position of our girls team...

    Coaches The other coach's opinion...

    I have been coaching team twice a week, one with another team level coach, and the other with the head team coach. We're all college age coaches. I like the head coach, but the other coach kinda worries me sometimes. She's vegan, and sometimes shares her sometimes extreme opinions and view...

    Men States: happy gymnasts, happy coach!

    So four of our guys notched their best AAs of the year at states, and this young team brought home the third-place banner for L5 ages 7-10. Two event silvers, an event bronze, a smattering of other medals, and four of the six of them placed AA. My DS had a great meet. He knew that if he had a...

    Women New Coach

    At practice a few days ago, we got a new coach. She isn't replacing anybody, our gym just needed more coaches. To say the least, I'm not fond of her. She was overly enthusiastic and acted like she owned the place. I was getting frustrated because we were put with her on vault and floor. We were...

    Women Tipping a coach

    Is it appropriate to "tip" a coach? There is a coach at our gym who has gone above and beyond to help my daughter excel in her gymnastics. I wanted to write a thank you note with a gift card or money to thank him for his hard work. He has made such a difference in her scores and is an amazing...

    Coaches Coach Exchange

    Has anyone had any first hand experience of a Coach Exchange between North America and Europe ? I know that our systems are different and find the American techniques interesting. I have looked on the BG website and its says that it offers conversion for accepted coaching qualifications and...
