frustrated

Im so frustrated. i'm afraid of everything. There's lots of skills i know i can do, but for some reason, my mind just wont let me do it. I'm TERRIFIED of my vault, even though I know perfectly well that I can do it, and it's holding me back, A LOT. For some reason, there's always this little...

So long story short - my daughter is 8. Initial plan for this season was to compete a few level 5 meets then do lv 6. She did 2 meets already - took 1 pl AA & 2nd pl AA. Last week coach said she is ready to do lv 6. I signed her up for meets & paid the $. This past weekend she had 2nd meet...

Title say is all! DD's coach still has not notified them of the levels they will compete this season! She is debating USAIGC "Silver" or Level 7... I understand part of the rationale is she wants to give the girls the most time possible to nail the skills before making a decision, but I must...

I'm frustrated with DD's gym. :( Maybe in need of a reality check, lol :). Here's what's going on- DD is in Level 3 at her gym, they have a very small program- only about 30 girls with 9 on level 3. The 3's only get to practice 1 day a week for 3 hours, even though some of the moms have asked if...

So, I'm struggling with a decision I need to make by the end of this work week. I've been offered a job coaching at several other gyms...some too far away from where I live to even consider, but then there are a couple that are VERY good options...1 a little more than the other. I've had my...

Hi there, I'm pretty new here but wanted to ask this. It may get long, which I apologise for now. I guess I should start at the beginning. I started gymnastics the day after my 4th birthday, the age for my local club. I did it for a good 10 years but due to coaching issues (long story), poor...

I know this is normal and I know plenty of you will have a similar story, but I just have to vent and let out my frustration. I posted a few weeks back that DD was struggling with her kip. Basically she made some very easily and then couldn't do any for a long time. Finally last week the kip...

We had our Conference with our coaches last night about weather DD is ready for team or not. 4 out of 5 coaches said no because she has lots of frustration and attitude when she doesn't get skills. She also lays on the floor sometimes and doesn't want to do skills. There are days where she does...

I have a very talented 9 year old gymnast who was diagnosed with Severs Disease this summer. I don't doubt that she has it, but I find it frusrating and confusing that most days she can handle practice with out heel cups or tape and some days she can't do anything. My question is if any other...

I am super frustrated right now. The gym was closed for 2.5 weeks for the Holidays and we have a meet in 3 weeks. I do T&T. Now my double mini coach will not allow me to do my old level 8 pass and is asking a lot for me to learn and perfect a new one that I am finding quite difficult in 3...

Well..I hate for my first post in this forum to be so negative, but I'm frustrated and feel like this is partly the purpose of the forum!;-) I'm mom to an 8-year old gymmie. We competed Level 5 last year and we're still waiting to hear what level we are going to be competing this year (big part...

I wanted to give a meet report and see if any can offer any advise along the way. DD had a meet on Saturday (The Gamecock Invite, Level 7) It's been a rough season so far for her with having to deal with disappointment (for the 1st time ever) and not performing the way she always has. A lot...

If you have read most of my posts, you know that I have been having a couple of skills come and go lately. Mainly my shoot through and BHS. Well, now they are back and I really think they are back to stay this time. I just have a feeling things are starting to get better. My BHS is back and...

Today we went to our 3/4 level preteam class. My daughter has all the skills for the class and she doesn't wander around and pays attention. She is 4 in a class of 6 year olds. Today the coach told them to do their press handstand drills. This is my dd's third class and she hasn't recieved any...

So today at practice dd's coach decides that the composition of her beam routine doesn't work and she needs a new series before the first meet in two days. She's doing level 7 and the issue is she has three cartwheels in the routine. Her acro is BHS, cartwheel-cartwheel for series and...

Hi! This is my daughters 1st yr doing USAG Level 4. I'm very frustrated right now w what's going on in our gym. Could use some opinions from exp. mom's.( Her 1st meet ever she scored a 35 & has continued going up now she's scoring high 37's.)We have one meet left before states and the owner just...

I hate this. Last year even though I didn't like my coaches and they were making gym not fun for me, gym was way better. Like last year I had all my level 6 and level 7 skills, working on my 8. Then I took a break from gym and ever since i've been loosing skill after skill and getting tons of...

Just thought it'd be nice to have a thread where everyone can post how they cope when things turn out the wrong way :)

Okay this is my first year level 7 and i'm 15. I've been doing gymnastics for 9 years and this is my 6th year of team. These past few months have been hard, getting injurys and my body in general just really hurts. And nothing seems to be getting better, i've taken days off of tumbling so that I...

My coach is really nice and is always very encouraging. I am the only girl on my team who really likes gymnastics and works hard (i think). And my coach has realized that. I have been makeing HUGE progress lately and have been getting loads of complemints from my coaches...until yestarday...
