    WAG Getting Nervous Before States

    I'm competing at states Sunday, and I'm a little nervous for my floor routine. Earlier this year I competed a FHSFT, but it wasn't consistent enough so I took it out. I finally got it consistent enough to put in the last meet before states, but I fell on that for some reason too. :( When I did...

    WAG Bad competition nerves

    I have a kid who trains like a rock star, almost always hits during training and constantly getting new skills, but falls apart in competition. She sometimes blanks, usually just executes skills way below her ability. She usually does okay in warm-up, but once I'm not standing there giving her...

    Parents Nervous about meet but not for the normal reasons..

    My DD has a meet coming up in Reno, and I have started to research hotels etc. We have a really old (2001) car that's not 100% reliable, so I planned to rent a car to drive to the meet. Then I found out that rental cars do not rent or allow snow chains to be placed on their tires. Driving from...

    OMG, L3 states is coming up soo fast and I am getting more and more nervous! This is DD's first time at states, and I think I'm more nervous than her! I keep asking her if she wants me to go since it seems like she does better when I'm not there, and she tells me she wants me to be there. I...

    Parents tips for dealing with competition nerves?

    What has worked for your kids? DS (almost 7) usually loves being the center of attention, but apparently that's only when he's not being judged for his performance. He loves gymnastics but hates competitions. First meet of the season is coming up soon, and the anxiety is ramping up. It's...

    Parents 1st meet of the season tomorrow...Gym momma nerves!

    Wow! That came up quickly!! DD has her first meet of the season tomorrow! I swear I get more nervous than she does :) I doubt that will ever change. And I'll be more than happy when she is done with that darn mill circle! The only skill that still is on again/off again...First 1/2 of meets at...

    Parents oooohhhh I have parent nerves

    When we switched gyms we tried out a USAG gym. It was too far to realistically drive so we went with a closer gym that has a TAAF team and a USAG team. At the time we joined the gym wasn't accepting younger gymnasts onto USAG so we continued with TAAF. We let the coach know up front that USAG...

    Nervous for Level 4 meet!

    I am so nervous for my first Level 4 meet. I'm nervous I won't make my kip/squat on bars, or my cartwheel on beam. Also, forgetting my routines and my vault. And it's an new level and new routines (especially vault.) I competed in the new Level 2, by the time that season ended I jumped to L4. My...

    Parents Moving, leaving our gym, nervous.

    We are moving across country in a month, and I realized I have not given notice to our gym. I'm so nervous! We are leaving for a very valid reason, but I still feel guilty. Silly me. It's a great gym with great coaches, and I would recommend it to anyone based on my daughter's short gymnastics...

    Parents Off on camp & I'm the one feeling nervous!

    DD is off to gymnastics residential on Sunday for the week. This is her first real time away from home (apart from the odd sleepover at friends), and at nearly 11, she felt she was ready. But as it's now getting closer, I just keep thinking about the fact she's going on her own, won't know...

    Parents Teaching your gymnast to control nerves/anxiety

    This season is the first time that my daughter has started worrying about meets. In the past, she was just excited about swimming pools in the hotel and getting her hair "did". The metals were cool but nothing to really stress about. This is her first year as an optional and I was a bit...

    Parents Parent nerves

    First Meet Nerves

    Any tips? I'm 14 and will be 15 in July so obviously I'm old for level one which is the old level 2 in Amerikids. I've never done this before so I'm nervous. I just don't want to mess up. And I want to win! But of course I won't be upset if I don't medal. I started again late so I'm getting into...

    T&T Dealing with nerves and fear?

    I've competed 4 times since I started competing in October. The first time, I was nervous, but I wasn't really bothered about the result. I didn't expect to win anything, and I was just concerning myself with competing and landing my routines. I took 1st place and was super surprised and happy...

    WAG Competition nerves... desperate

    I have terrible competition nerves. Not just the normal ones either. I throw up/get sick before the meet, sweat much more than normal, get very hot/run a fever, become very dizzy (I even fainted before my first meet), am shaky, trouble breathing and sometimes teary when normally I hardly ever...

    Parents Ramblings of a nervous Mum

    In 6 weeks' time, DD will compete at her first "real" meet as she calls it. For the past two years, she has competed a few times, but no scores were given out, no firsts, seconds, thirds, etc. They got a certificate, with a gold, silver, or bronze, but it didn't reflect placement, it reflected...
