    Parents Daughter frustrated

    Hi everyone. My daughter is 10 and she trains with the lowest competitive group in the club she belongs to. This is only for 4 hours a week and they only compete on floor and vault. I top this up with 4 hours of lessons from the local authority, where she is outgrowing their programme, training...

    Anon So frustrated with giants

    I am training for Level 7 and have been swinging a full giant with a spot for over a year. I tried them on my own for the first time last week. But every time I just arch off the back side. My coach says I'm not tapping hard enough and not pulling my toes over the bar. I can cast all the way to...

    Parents Didn't make Bronze, so frustrated

    My 7 yr old started preteam in Aug. This was after she fell off beam and broke her elbow in May, developing a huge fear of falling. She wouldn't get on the high beam without a panic attack. I know I have parent goggles on, but she's done SO MUCH this year. Shes really been working on her form...

    Parents So frustrated with gym and video capabilities

    This more of a vent than anything else. The SpotTv at my daughter's gym has not been functioning since before Thanksgiving. The gym is closed to parents and there is zero ability to view what is happening at practice. I find this so frustrating. I want to be able to see that COVID precautions...

    Parents Gymnast's frustration

    My daughter (whose turns 10 this year) is passing Compulsory 3 grade this year (UK). Last year she passed the Compulsory 5 grade OOA and she had to work very hard to make up for the lag. In September last year, she was forced to change the club (her coach has retired gymnastics) and at first...

    Parents Frustrated...

    I am still frustrated about finding a suitable gym for my daughter. We tried a preteam class at another gym to see if she could find some girls she connected with and immediately she bonded with another 5 year old. Well, the coach came up to me after and said that she suggested she move to a...

    Parents Frustration with Xcel

    My daughter is in her first season competing Xcel Silver (skipped bronze, was asked to join the JO team but we opted to begin with Xcel because she has other interests). We have found the program to be good for her overall, her gym treats Xcel with just as much care & respect as their JO teams...

    I don't normally post, so if this is an inappropriate place to post this please let me know. I just saw an add for Simone Biles, promoting the University of the People. Evidently she and her mom are attending this university. I know Simone is surrounded by smart, intelligent people, but...

    WAG How to help with Frustration -> Anger -> Despair

    What are the ways to help a young gymnast when her frustration (at say not getting a skill or just having an off day) leads to anger and finally despair. Especially when the frustration -> anger -> despair all happen relatively quickly after one another and have basically formed a habit of how...

    Parents Stuck and frustrated

    My son has been working for a while now on landing his front tuck off the double mini. (He is landing on his feet squatting then falling to his butt.) He is starting to become very frustrated as this is the first thing he struggled with. He can do a round-off back handspring almost completely on...

    Parents Feeling frustrated.... but maybe I shouldn't be?

    Let me start by saying that I know I can be a little sensitive to feeling my DD is getting treated like "sloppy seconds" because of our experience at old gym.... So I am looking for a bit of a reality check, I guess. Or maybe I'm justified to feel frustrated? Here is the scenario: For the...

    Parents DD BWO block and MY Frustration!

    So, I need help from experienced parents. My DD continues to have a fairly significant Beam BWO block. I stopped at the end of practice and watched her spend more time sitting and staring into the abyss that doing her drills. I was irate! First, I am not upset that she isn't getting the...

    Parents Finally invited to pre-team - now frustrated it is too easy

    My 9 year old dd finally is on the path she's hoped for - transitioning from rec level 4 to accelerated pre-team and will hopefully make level 3 JO team this spring/summer. This was kind of a special group our gym created for these girls since we asked to be evaluated. My dd and her bestie are...

    DD frustrated

    My DD has become very frustrated with her gym this summer. She is hoping to compete level 8 this year after a highly successful second year at 7, but still lacks a vault. She is the only one at her level and is the highest level at her gym. Half the summer seems like coaches focused on...

    MAG Grip frustration

    So DS has been using high bar grips from a new company and we're not having good luck. I think they lack quality control. The first pair he had, two of the tines for the buckles broke off in the first couple weeks. Now he just started using a new pair, and the leather of the strap snapped in...

    Parents Frustrated not sure how to handle...

    So last year my daughter was in level 2. They decide the team into two groups during practice she was out with what was obviously the weaker group. It bothered me because they never worked on the skills they needed after a few months and me saying something they moved her to the stronger group...
