    Coaches How to approach another coach of differing opinions?

    I recently took at new job as a Rec Director at a new gym even though I've been a team coach for many years. My daughter came with me as a new Level 7 and I've always been one of her coaching team. When we came to this new gym, she was ready to compete Level 7 right away, with completed routines...

    "Coach's Favorites"

    Ugh!!! I hate it sooooooo much when my coach sits around talking to her favorite gymnast for 30 minutes (on top of the vault table when I'm trying to vault) and half the time it's not even about gymnastics, it's about her new boyfriend she meet over christmas break or what ever!!! It gets so...

    coach to gymnast ratio in practice?

    what's the average number of coaches on the floor during practice? my daughter's gym usually only has 1 coach work with her entire level 4 team - 11 girls. That seems like a very low ratio to me and i'm wondering what's "normal."

    Coach Left and the Silver Lining

    Coaches leaving seems to be part of the game in gymnastics. It certainly doesn't pay that well and most of the lower level coaches seem to be young and starting out. We don't have a ton of turnover at our gym, but the beloved compulsory coach left us about a month ago. Personally, I think...

    This coach is frustrating us...what to do?

    First and foremost: Sorry if this post is all over the place, my ranting tends to be very unorganized. I recently started assisting coaching the very small team at the gym I used to compete at. The girls practice three days a week. The head coach, only coaches on Fridays because he has to fill...

    Coach leaving gym- should we follow?

    My daughter doesn't know it yet, but her favorite coach is announcing he is leaving our gym. She will be heartbroken. He gave notice, and waited until after the competition season was over. There is talk that he is moving to another gym. Do we follow? Should we follow? My daughter is young & his...

    HS Meet Report- Coach's Version

    I had posted in the "Good Luck" forum about my first meet with a new time, so decided I would write a quick, update report. It was just a small, local meet with one other local team that is of a similar skill level (no club teams in the area, so these kids have at most a few years of once/week...

    Quitting gymnastics? + Pushy mum and coach?

    So I currently do level 8 gymnastics - acrobatics, trampolining & tumbling. I train about 11-12 hours per week and i'm going to be in year 11 next year. This year, balancing school with training and friends was really hard. Sometimes i just want to quit because my mum is one of those pushy...

    Do you think it's okay for a coach to make a gymnast stay

    back from going to break, and keep trying an element that she knows the gymnast can do but is having some kind of block about it that day? The example is jumping from the low bar to the high bar. Gymnast is a level 7 in Ontario, so has been doing this for years. For whatever reason the girl...

    What would you get for coach...

    My DD wants to get her coaches a gift for Christmas, but I am not sure what is appropriate. I guess we have gotten off easy as prior to moving up this year we had always gone in together with all the girls on a group gift. As the coaches were younger and just starting out we were able to find...

    Coach only paying attention to one child

    Just curious if this is worth discussing with anyone at our gym...one of the coaches spends most of their time (on one of the events) with one kid and one kid only. The other kids are left to do drills by themselves with very little coaching (if none) from the coach since they are working...

    No coach?

    So, my only meet left of gthe season is States! Unfortunately, since our coach moved and she was replaced, my scores have gradually dropped. She does not pay attention to any of my routines, so I have no idea how to improve. I asked her to watch, but she made me go condition for interupting and...

    This is why we coach

    I found this video utterly inspiring, and is a perfect demonstration of just how amazing gymnasts are. http://www.gymnastike.org/video/513244-Kylie-Layout-Full-Yurchenko-Vault At 0:06, she starts the roundoff. This is the point of no-return. One way or another, she’s going over that table...
