I feel uncomfortable that one of the coaches is dating a team mom. What should I do? The coach is always picking the daughter up and sharing food. He also tends to treat her better then the other gymnast
I spent some time yesterday looking at online Staff Directories for several college gymnastics programs.
Some school websites had emails for all coaches, some only assistants, some recruiting directors, some office assistants and some various combination of those.
What I’d like to know is who...
Hi all,
Would just appreciate your thoughts and feedback. My dd is 14 (just turned this year) and will be starting high school in the fall. She had several injuries last year (fractured ankle, fractured knee, sprained ankle, sprained toe, and constant back pain- doctor says a ring around her...
So pretty much anybody who follows my posts knows that I'm burning out and looking for an exit from full-time coaching. Right now, I'm working on developing a side gig building video delay/replay/analysis systems. A lot of colleges, camps, etc have these; where you can do a skill, and then watch...

Let's hear it for all of the great coaches out there who work so hard to help our kids be successful. We moved from a toxic, verbally abusive environment, so I deeply appreciate really good coaching. So what you appreciate about your kid's coaches?
I love that both of my kids are in gyms with...
Has anyone dealt with their DD coach showing favoritism?
My daughter is a fairly new optional and she is so excited!
Well at her gym all of the optionals practice together but a few of the parents have noticed that the head coach pays more attention to certain girls.
For instance, the coach...
Most people I know seem to like the same gyms or coaches. I was wondering if the same are at the top of everyone’s list. Perhaps there is a new up and coming coach or gym.
Today DD's gym sent out an email saying that USAG has a rule forbidding individual gymnasts from giving coaches gifts. I have searched for a while for this rule but all I can find is a Safe Sport policy saying coaches shouldn't give gifts to gymnasts.
I'm just wondering if anyone has...
I've recently started coaching a group of team gymnasts with ages ranging from 6-16 years old. The other coaches barely use drills. They're more the type to say "Well of course her roundoff is still crooked but let's just let her try to connect a back handspring to it" or "Why do you need to...
Can any coaches / judges tell me if the following floor rules mean that there should be two backwards saltos in the routine to get all the CRs or if the salto with min 360 turn counts as two CRs? It looks like there should be three tumbles in the routine to me but my daughter only has two...
We've been talking a lot lately about abusive coaches, but, of course there are some really great coaches out there and those people are invaluable. I feel very fortunate, because after a gym switch I really like and have a tremendous amount of respect for the coaches at DD's gym, and I can see...
Each generation of coaches improves by taking what prior generations have learned and building on it (as is true with most things). But there are also often nuggets of wisdom we wish we'd found earlier.
So, to all the veteran coaches (ie 10 years or more): post advice you would like to give to...

Would you ever allow your child to train at a gym whose head coach once trained under a coach who was later banned from USAG for abusive tactics? Would you just go observe the coach during a few practices to see how they coach or would you write them off immediately just for having spent 5+...
