    Parents Coach giving scores during practice?

    My DDs coach sometimes gives them scores when they practice routines during practice. Is this often done and is it accurate for scores during competition season?

    Parents What do parents want in a coach?

    For me I look for experience, enthusiasm, a strong work ethic and adaptability so they don't have a one size fits all approach to gymnasts. I like a very even tempered coach. I've seen highly excitable coaches who will punch the air or hug a gymnast, jump up and down when a kid gets a skill- but...

    Off Topic I present to you: Coach Tools, the open-source video replay app for athletes!

    Hello, all! I have been working on a project over the last few months to build a replay system for use in gyms, with lots of extra features (freeze frame and automatic hold timer are the big ones). Originally, I'd planned to sell this system to gyms. HOWEVER, given current events I'm guessing...

    Parents Is coach a bully? Should I get my son out of there?

    Hi. Looking for opinions. Son's coach does not seem to like him. We brought this up twice last year with gym manager. He gets angry, walks away when son messes up a skill, makes sarcastic comments, ignores him for rest of session. Son has gotten great results at comps so far. We have been...

    Parents Feeling like Coach is enabling my gymnast.

    So, my daughter has been struggling here and there with mental block on double bhs back tucks. At the beginning of the season we got a new coach. Her old coaches (who are still at the gym) would spit if they felt it was really necessary, but tried other options first so that the girls didn’t...

    Coaches Coach being bullied

    I’d been coaching at a club for roughly 7 years when they ‘fired’ me. Using the word fired lightly- manager and other older coaching staff disliked me. Manager was supposed to mentor me, but would bully me all the time- to the point all coaches & gymnasts knew she had the thing against me, and...
