    Women Coach taking out a grudge on a kid

    A gymnast I know recently moved from one gym to another. The girl is a talent and moved to a gym with superior coaching. Each time this gymnast sees her old HC, she runs up to her and enthusiastically tries to give her old coach a hug. She is met with a viscious coldness and eye-rolling. My...

    Women Inattentive coach! Any tips on how to deal with this?

    This just makes me so angry. I'm an optional gymnast and my group is about 6-8 girls from levels 7 to 10, depending on the day. We have two coaches, one who always coaches beam and the other who always coaches floor. The beam coach coach is great, very talented, she makes me feel like I'm...

    Coach Leaving...What to do?

    I forgot until today that today is the last day my coach will be working at our gym! She got another job that she has to be at pretty much all of the time she would be at the gym, coaching. :( But she's not just any coach. She's been my coach the whole time I've been in pre-team at this gym: 3...

    Coaches I'm a real gymnastics coach now!

    Not just a volunteer coach at my old gym. A spot for the L4-6 girls opened up at my niece's gym and I applied. They accepted me! I'm soooooo excited! Makes me feel silly for doubting that I'd ever be able to get a real coaching job because of the communication barriers. Just had to share :-)

    Parents Woodward Team Coach Question

    Hi everyone. My daughter is currently at Woodward with her team. I assumed that the team coaches would work with the girls during Open Gym but that has not been the case. Her coach just looks in on them every once in a while. Was I wrong to assume that? If your daughter has been to Woodward as...

    She seems like the sweetest lady ever, i mean she was trying to shield Jordyn from the cameras on Sunday and after the girls finish a routine she just seems so genuinely happy for them no matter how well it went. Does anyone have the specs on her?

    Deduction for Coach?

    I'm just curious... In elite gymnastics, is there a deduction for the coach standing there, not on the mat, bu on the podium thing? I know the coach can help the gymnast "fall properly" on release skills on bars. Also, can the coach remove the springboard for your mount after you mount the beam?

    Coach With This App...

    My coach just got an iPad, and he got a coaching app on it where you video tape yourself doing a skill. Then, the you select a skill choice on the menu, and when you watch the video, there is a "shadow" gymnast doing the same skill, but the "correct" way, so if your falling a lot, you can see...

    ? for those who train 5 days in a row (or coach those who train)

    DD just began this - Monday through Friday, 20 hours total, as a L7. The gym prefers this schedule to allow family time on the weekends. Also, during meet weekends, the coaches are usually gone all weekend long. How does your body feel with this schedule? Physically/mentally. Are you worn out...

    Coach going away gift?

    Our head coach is moving away to another state to have his own gym. We are incredibly sad about it as he has taught my daughter so much and he was a great leader.
