    Slightly Abusive Coach?

    I have been having some problems with my coach. It is a bit hard to explain, because it is hard to judge unless you are actually there. I will try my best to describe it though. My coach is sometimes really nice. When she is in a good mood, she is very helpful, caring, and supportive. However...

    My Coach is Wrong?

    I'm a gymnast who is very lucky to have a wonderful and very helpful coach. He is great to me, teaches me a lot, and I'm grateful for that. However, sometimes it seems like his information is a little off. I'm trying to go for level 9 next year, and a lot of the answers my coaches give me...

    Hi everyone. I was sort of pushed into the MAG head coach position at our club. Problem is that I have never really been told what the job really entails. I have sort of come to figure out a lot on my own over the last year, but thought I would ask on here what is expected of bigger clubs...

    Level 8 bars - accidental coach touch deduction

    At states this weekend, my daughter landed both vaults but on the second, better vault, her vault coach I think instinctively reached out and accidentally touched her as she was coming off the horse or upon landing. Her HC said it was no big deal because her vault was really good, it was high...

    Time with the coach

    I have seen several post on here about coach to gymnast ratio. It has led me to be curious about something. At my dds gym she must have very good ratio 6 to 1 on any given night. However, the coaches spend very little time working with the girls individually. She probably spends 10 minutes...

    A Non-Gymnast Coach?

    How do you all feel about a coach who was never a gymnast? Is she qualified to teach/coach past level 2-3?? She's very young (20 yrs old) and is the "head coach". Thoughts anyone???

    Parents When a Coach Doesn't Like Your Child

    So we all go through life and learn by the time we get to adulthood that not everyone is going to like you. Sometimes for no apparent reason there is a person who just loathes your existence on the planet and you have to learn to deal with it. Problem being my daughter isn't an adult. She just...
