    WAG How do you beat nerves?

    T&T I don't know how to help my daughter's nerves

    HI, I have posted before about this struggle but each meet this season has gotten progressively worse. My DD is 8 and this is her first season to compete. She had some sort of mental block coming off of CHristmas break and went from doing level 6 tumbling skills to barely being able to do level...

    Parents States are this weekend and I am so nervous...

    Sigh, I need to calm down! Dd has had such a good year and I really want her to do well at states. I don't care about placements, just that she hits her routines. She has struggled big time at state meets in the past, in fact last year she came in last for her age group. She (and all...

    WAG No nerves before meets for my little one

    As we head into the spring meet season that culminates in our state championships, I decided to talk with my daughter to see where she was at mentally. I asked her if she was nervous heading into meet season. She laughed and said, "Dad, I only got nervous for my very first meet." I was just...

    WAG How to control nerves?

    I have my first meet of the season this weekend and I'm sort of freaking out! I get so nervous during warm up compete! My heart pounds like crazy, my hands get all sweaty, I feel lightheaded and my head hurts, and not just a little, a bad headache. I also seem to almost shake? Like when I don't...

    Parents Do you all get so nervous for your kids before a meet?

    Every meet it is like this for me. My dd is in her 2nd year competing (L5 last year, L6 this year). We will be leaving in a bit for her first meet of the season and I'm just SO nervous. Her L6 team is really big (17 girls! That seems big to me) and there are so many in her age group and many...

    Parents My nerves are shot, but it was worth it!

    DD, 7, just finished her second meet today. She placed 4th on floor, 3rd on vault, and 2nd on beam and bars. This is her second year competing, and nerves are starting to catch up to her. Last year, meets were always fun and she always looked forward to them. She has been worrying about the...

    Parents Nervous...

    DD has her very first meet this weekend, I am so nervous! I was a competitive gymnast for a very long time and was rarely nervous. DD is a happy go lucky child and nothing seems to bother her, so the nerves are all mine and all new! Please tell me I am not the only one!

    Parents Acid Reflux due to nerves

    I think my son has acid reflux. I'm going to try to get into Dr. today. He has been dealing with occasional heartburn for a few years now but we always forget to ask the Dr. about it during his well visits. He often has heartburn before a meet and it is always just after he is done eating...

    Nerves!!!

    I'm just wondering, what do you guys do for nerves before a meet? My last meet, I was so worked up, that I messed up super easy skills on bars, it was a little embarrassing! So how do you cope? It didn't help that I had to wait for what felt like forever before I was ok'd to go

    T&T Nerves

    I have been practicing a round-off back handspring with a spotter on the tumbling floor and track for the last month. And each week I am improving, and I am pretty sure that I can do it by myself now. The substitute coach that was with us last week thinks I should try it by myself, but I am a...

    Parents Nervous about DD's first meet!

    My daughter is 7 years old and just joined the gymnastics team at her gym. She was on "pre-team" and was asked to work out with the team, and before I knew it she was asked to compete in the upcoming meet and is now a member of the team. The gym owner recommended that she participate in the...
