    Men Why we love our coach!

    One of many reasons. The boys have been begging to do this, made some deals with the coach, met their end of the deals, and here is the result. D is in there. They had so much fun making this last night. I think their coach did too! GK Men's Team Harlem Shake.mov - YouTube

    Men Coach disappointment

    My 7 year old (competing as a 6 year old) level 4 has always impressed his coach with his skills and he has talked about my son for 2 years about how talented he is and how well he will do in competitions. My son's top AA has been a steady 56, but his team mate (an 8 year old competing as a 7...

    We just got some new coaches. Last night was the first night I worked with them only to find out that they are not encouraging.

    Parents Who is your coach?

    We have just very few coaches that were competitive gymnasts. Our gym is taking big turn to somewhere. It might be a good change, or bad. Hard to tell yet.

    Reminders from your coach

    I thought it would be fun to start a thread on what your coaches remind you to do most often. So, list the top three things that your coaches remind you to do during gymnastics training. Mine are 1. Point your toes 2. Slow down/ don't rush 3. Smile

    Men Coach as the judge

    We have a meet on Friday and our coach is the floor judge. She has told the boys and scored their routines several times in practice. I don't have a problem with this because I know her well, but would you have a problem with a competitors coach as a judge??
