    Parents Parents who Coach Too?

    Do you find it difficult to be a coach at the same gym your daughter or son trains at? Have you ever coached your own child? I coach where my daughter trains and I find it works for us. I try very very hard not to ever be her coach, but let her coaches do all that. Of course she loves to show...

    5'11 gymnasts and 5'1 coach

    :confused: I have a 5'11 beginner gymnast (she's 10 yrs old!) that is trying to learn a front punch. The 1st two attempts have ended in her knees cracking her in the head bc she won't pull up. Now she's scared. Any advice?

    Parents Coach bringing child to work

    I'm not going to even phrase this as a question of whether this is okay or not, because I don't think anyone on earth would think this is okay. Last spring her coach would occasionally have her 1 year old DD with her at the beginning of practice. She'd hold her or put her in something until...

    Nervous around a certain coach

    DD has a problem getting nervous around a certain coach and usually when this person is present she doesn't do as well in practice. It's the owner/head coachs wife who doesn't actively coach the girls but does drop in from time to time and coach along with the other coaches. My DD says that...

    Coach

    How do you deal with a coach who, right out in front of everyone, virtually says the girls in her class are no good? Last night, another coach was asking my dd's coach about why the L3's had been split into a & b groups and dd's coach (all the way across the gym) rolled her eyes, shook her head...

    What to ask Head Coach?

    My dd is a 7 year old L4 preparing for first competition season. She trains only 8 hours a week, but it still seems like a lot with school. I went ahead and put in a call to HC to ask for help about how to manage the demands of gym and school. I've never had a conversation with HC before, and...

    Coach's Methods On Learning New Skills

    Our gyms philosophy on learning new skills is to basically explain it to the girls and let them try it. If there body shapes are incorrect, the girls have to go to the floor and mimic the body shape that is most important in the skill ei: hollow for hollow back hip circle. The girls are...

    Parents New coach, what a difference!!!!!

    DD had kind of a rough week at gym with all the drama I posted about on Monday. I had always thought her coach was postive in the beginning, but it seems like she is stressed lately about the first meet next weekend and has been very irritable. They had an extra practice for beam and vault...

    Head coach

    So I have received a promotion: while I have been head coach of the boys program for a couple years now, I have now been named as head coach for the girls team as well, so I'll now be effectively heading the entire program. Sort of bittersweet, as this is somewhat the result of the departure...

    Confused Coach

    There are only three level 8's at our gym, including me, and my coach for some reason does not know the new rules for level 8 and has many girls doing un-allowable skills. Luckily for me, I am the worst level 8, and he wants me to do the bare minimum. I've tried to tell my teammates, but they...

    Coaches Spotting philosophy - coach error

    I have spoken with a high-level coach recently who told me never to admit to a spotting error to a gymnast. His theory was that absolute trust is needed between the gymnast and the coach. If the gymnast thinks the coach may make a mistake in spotting they may become fearful of anything spotted...
