    Parents How Much Parent/Coach/Gymnast Drama Is There in Your Gym?

    What is the level of drama in your gym:? Is it a hotbed for rumors and pushy parents? Do the kids get along well or have problems amongst themselves? What about the coaches with the gym management and the parents? I'd love to hear more about things work at other gyms!

    Parents telling coach today

    My dd and I are meeting with coach today for lunch so we can finally tell our news of switching gyms. I have been agonizing over this for weeks, waiting until states were over so as not to disrupt the girls training, because there are a couple of girls that will be DEVASTATED that my daughter...

    Conditioning, moving up, coaches working with HC's,and working out apart from a coach

    These things have come up a lot, so I'm going to throw in my take. Conditioning: It's not just about strength! We also introduce new body positions and shapes here. Very rarely do we ever just introduce a new skill to a totally 'green' gymnast. This is advantageous for a few reasons...

    Parents DD's level 6 montage-gift for last years coach

    I put together a montage of Bailey's team last year when they were in level 6 in 2008. I thought it would be a nice gift for her level 6 coach. Boy have these kids come along way in one year. Don't forget to hit the HQ button if you decide to watch. YouTube - Beach Team Level 6 Montage 2008

    Kicking your coach

    Have any of you guys kicked the coach when they were spotting you? I have never kicked my own coach(YET), but yesterday at another gym that I work out at, when I was working my back kickover, and she was spotting me, my shoulder gave out, and she got a smelly sweaty foot to the face! I felt...

    Coach

    wants DD to get a "dance" belt for posture at home. She is 6 and small for her age. Does anyone know where to get a small enough belt and what exactly they are called. When I googled "dance belt" it came up with a male thong :eek:.

    Parents coach and dd buting heads?

    My dd and her coach seem to be butting heads right now. I see both sides, and am really at a loss of what to do. DD gets bored easily and when she is bored she gets lazy and the coach is really getting upset. I understand the coachs frustration, but I also do not want my daughter pushed out of...

    Parents How to get your DD to actually LISTEN to what the coach is saying

    I know I can't be the only one... Let's say you're watching your gymmie during a workout, and coach points out something specific to work on. You see that DD hears the coach, but continues to do the same mistake over and over. Coach corrects mistake again.. and again. And then they get it -...

    Um.. How do we ask a CB coach question?

    If I have a technical question specifically for coaches on CB, where do I post it?? As a parent, I've gained quite a bit of professional insight about the sport from reading posts on all the forums within CB. I for one am saddend that the coaches area is now closed to "outsiders"...

    Parents Shocked the coach

    DD has been practicing with the lev 7 & 8 for a show this month. Well they were revising the routine the other night. They have been very careful about what they have put in the routine because of DD. It isn't too easy but they have been very aware of her to make sure it looks good all around...

    new coach

    We just got kinda half a new coach for team and he's the first male coach we have had in the gym at least in the last six years, probably more. He completely fixed my entire team's front handsprings today just by critiquing their hurdles. He also got one girl to set on her back tuck but...

    Coach Issues

    So i started at this gym two summers ago and they had just hired this new director. Well, she turned out to be a real jerk and she got fired. Then they looked for another one and there was this amazing coach that tried out for the job, and they didn't hire her!! I was really mad along with...
