    Women Gymnast and coach meet behavior

    I have some questions about typical meet behavior. 1. Is it common for the coach to high-five every gymnast after a routine at a meet? I see this all the time on youtube. I'm curious because Dd's coach never high-gives or even really says anything to a gymnast after she competes, but just...

    What to eat before\during meet?

    Okay, so I have a meet coming up and I have no idea what to eat before then. In the mornings, I'm never hungry, so I need ideas on what to eat before a meet. Also, some ideas on what to bring during the meet would be helpful too.

    Parents First disappointing meet... And a lot of life lessons

    DD (7) had her second level 4 meet last night... She moved to 4 only 4 weeks ago. At her first level 4 meet last weekend, she rocked it. Last night was a big one with a lot of strong competition. In the end though, she made huge mistakes that brought her to the middle of the pack on our team...

    Women Meet Hair with Backwards Roll

    Hello everyone! I have a meet tomorrow, and at my last one I tried a half up half down bun that I do at practice. (Like McKayla Maroney's.) But it came down after I started on floor. I have a backwards roll in my routine, so it can't be a ponytail. (My hair is long, thick, yet fine. It's...

    Women Normal coaching behavior at meets

    Hi all, My Dd had her first optional meet a few days ago. Her normal coach was there as well as the head coach who never works with her. She is still a little weak on bars due to bent legs and is working to improve. During warm-up on bars, the HC noticed her bent legs and told her he would...

    meal before meets?

    Do any of your kids have a preferred dinner the night before a meet? My ds' favorite dinner before a meet is roasted salmon, white rice and asparagus. Dd prefers some form of pasta, or stir fry (both with chicken).

    Women Mom happy after DD's 1st Level 7 Meet!

    So we had our first Level 7 meet a week ago. As some of you know, my little dd was a Level 4 last year. So we set expectations low;) DD was put into the "A" age group. Someone here on CB had warned me this can be a fierce group, and they were right! This was the 3rd meet of the season for other...

    Women How many coaches go to meets?

    So I was making a point to our facility director about proper staffing and I wanted to know, on average how many coaches does your gym send to competitions. We have a medium sized team, anywhere from 8-12 kids per level from USAG 2- 5 and then maybe 15 optional girls..... Our gym regularly likes...
