    Anon Level 10 stressed about state meet

    My daughter is a first year level 10. The bars have been a struggle for a variety of reasons. She lost her bars coach in January, and it has been very difficult to get consistent bars coach the remainder of the season. She is very stressed about the state meet. Her other three events have...

    Off Topic What do you watch for stress relief/laughs?

    Gymnastics, and, life in general, can be stressful, right? What are some TV shows/movies/etc. that you watch to zone out and relax? Or, for good old dumb humor? Bonus points if it's something you and the gymnast in your life both enjoy. Parents, 'fess up, I know you actually like some of...

    My daughter was diagnosed with a stress fracture in her l4 vertebrae on 9/23. She has been restricted from all activity except PT since then. The PT has cleared her this week to do some swimming. We go back to the orthopedic doctor on Wednesday 11/6. He indicated that even in the best case...

    Back fracture/stress fracture recovery

    I’m currently in Xcel silver and I was planning to move up to gold the next season. But, during regionals my back, which had been bugging me all year, hurt so bad that I could barely walk. I pushed through regionals, the whole time holding back tears. This was the only meet all season that I...

    Parents Anyone with experience with stress fractures in their back? From 9/9/17 (Update)

    In September of last year, I posted the titled question. We would soon find out we were dealing with quite a bit more than what I thought the day of my post (the day after Urgent care). It turned out DD had a clean break on one side, a stress fracture on the other, and slippage of one...

    hey everyone, basically I’m going to keep this short. So this summer I have several amazingly fun vacations planned. That means two week long vacations and another half week long vacation. To everyone else, this would be exciting, but i honestly kind of am dreading it. I HATE missing out on...

    Parents Anyone with experience with stress fractures in back?

    We just found out today my DD has a stress fracture in her lumbar region (Spondylolysis). We have a general idea what we are doing for the next couple weeks regarding doctors, treatment, rest, etc. However, I am wondering what others experiences have been with this type of injury. Has your...

    Parents Just sharing a stress

    DD has had a tough last few years and was really looking forward to this one - because she was going to repeat the level, compete a few new skills but not scramble, and finally feel gathered and confident. Then she was diagnosed with gymnast wrist and out for 6 weeks. We are at 5 weeks and...

    HELP!!! Wanting to attempt a comeback after injury! Pls respond getting stressed

    so, I broke my forearm twice in a row in less than 3 months. The second time due to being released to early.

    Parents Logistical stress (long)

    How do you keep it from getting to you? The insane logistics of a two gymmie, one parent available family? My ODDs gym is new. Still doesn't have a building new. The entire time she's been there they have been renting space in another gym. This other gym is quite the commute for us (over double...

    There is a group of girls at our gym who will be seeing a significant hours jump when the go back to "school schedule". (16 hours to 25 hours) The coaches are confident that the girls can handle it. With my mom hat on, I worry about sleep, school and staying healthy. With my medical hat on, I...

    Parents Stress fracture in vertebrae - any experience with this?

    My L8 dd was having some back pain when arching and tumblimg. It has gotten progressively worse over the last two weeks, but it doesnt't bother her when she's not in the gym unless she arches back for some reason. We saw the orthopedist today. They took xrays and they did not show any issues...

    Parents Stressed is an UNDERSTATEMENT...

    So went to observe the last 30 - 45 minutes of DD's practice tonight - last one before her first level 6 meet and I wanted to see how her floor was coming along... no biggie... I wasn't going to be driving her home, DH was because I had to shuffle the other kiddos. Anyhow, after practice...

    Parents Stress at growth plate - Is rest the only option?

    I took my gymnast to an ortho today and that place was a cast factory. Everyone going in there was coming out with a cast. My gymnast doesn't have a fracture, but there is some stress from impact. I don't really understand and I wish I had asked more questions, but I was busy keeping her...

    WAG Stress, L8 - and what I learned

    I am sharing this because I just learned a gymnastics life lesson. As a parent, one of the hardest things to watch is when your child struggles. My DD moved up to L8 this last year, and boy was it rough. Her confidence was whacked, she struggled with some skills, and was the youngest on the team...
