    Coaches Coaching etiquette

    I know in our own state, the State board will get involved if a coach is encouraging another athlete to leave the current gym for his/her own.

    Balancing gymnastics and coaching

    Do any of you gymnasts also coach? I don't train every day so I would be able to coach if it wasn't on a day I have practice. I want to coach really badly but I don't want it to interfere with my practice schedule which I'm sure it won't because I rarely practice. Once I reach a higher level tho...
