I think they are only attractive when done perfectly in a routine where they flow with the other elements and the gymnast is able to do it without too much hesitation, and not many can do that.
My daughter recently came back to artistic gymnastics after about a 5 month break (did T&T during this time). The gym is giving her the month to see how she builds her strength and stamina to then join their artistic team. She just turned 8 and is excited to do artistic again but she gets...
I always find that after a full day of school, when I go to gymnastics after about an hour at training I get so tired and I start to lag! And I tend to do about 3 hours time so 2 of them are spent not as well as they could be because I get too tired! I also find that in the holidays And weekends...
My 5 yr old was invited to level 1/2 team. She started prior to school getting out and did great initially. She was getting a nap at preschool. Now that we are into summer, she is attending various day camps due to my husband and I working and is no longer getting a nap. Team practice is 5-8...
Hi all,
I'm new here, lurked for a few months but have now signed up!
I have a 5 and half year old who has been in a development group for a year. They have slowly been increasing their hours from 1x2 hour session to 3x2 hour sessions recently.
She is one of the younger ones in the group...
DH and I joke around that our 4.5 year old DD is a bit on the lazy side. Saturday morning when I told her that it was time to get ready for gymnastics she said "I don't like my new gymnastics class, it is too tiring."
I smiled but I managed to hold back the raucous laughter that I felt trying...
:eek:I get tired of parents complaining about every little thing. Parents tend to want you to coach like they parent. If I did that, then their kid would not learn anything. It seems to me that parents pacify kids way to much now a days ... to the point where kids can't even make corrections...
VENT! I hope it's possible to feel this way and still have a successful long-term gymnast. I tired of the expense, time, frustrations... tired of that sinking feeling when DD is not invited to join a certain group, hurt, or having to tell coach she will miss practice because of XYZ. I'm...
I'm guessing that most of us here are parents of at least one very high-energy kid. As most of you know, my girls are twins, and from day 1 Kathy has needed less sleep than her sister, and has been slower to fall asleep too. As most of you also know, Kathy recently switched gyms and doubled her...
well last night ended up being way too late since dd had trouble sleeping and now she needed to get up for practice but was just soo exhausted and in tears cause she wanted to go to practice , but was tired!
I told her she needed to stay home wich didnt seem to help the tears
I do think when...
Hi All,
You may recall that I have been posting for the last 6 months about all the injuries my DD has had recently. She broke 2 bones in her hand in late March, which took a total of 6 weeks to heal. She then slowly started getting her L7 skills back, but kept having minor problems, like...
I usually don't get sick sick, maybe a bit of the sniffles but never sick with headaches, congestions, and fatigue. But when i was sick on monday i did not realize i was actually sick, so i went to practice.
I was so tired at practice i couldn't even last till the second event, since i couldn't...
I hope some of you experienced parents can help me help my very tired gymnast. My 7 year old dd recently doubled her training hours to 8 hours a week, and she has been overly tired ever since. She loves the gym, thrives during practice, but she looks gaunt and tired. She has very little body...
Well, in the summer my gym has long practices from 8am until 4pm. I find it really hard getting up in the morning bec. im so sore from practice and just drained of energy, Im training level 9 so practice is really important. Is there any tips or advice on how to make it easier to get up in the...
Ok so this has nothing to do with gymnastics but rather DD's mysterious sleepiness.
DD last fall October was ill for most of the month MD ran a bunch of tests found nothing. UGH!! She got better seemed fine all winter actually she was rather well this winter a new twist for her. Now just this...
So, this post may be an overdose of my personality, sorry it's long. I'm pretty amped still after the shenanigans of tonight. More so because it's been building over time. No matter how directly I identify and then (try to) solve a problem, it's just never fixed. I have explaining to do...
Is it possible that gymnasts can over practice and become really tired and plane like "weak" not strength wise but energy wise? Is there a way to re cooperate a gymnasts body that is soo worn down and tired? My team and I are all like blahh... we are all exhausted.
Open To Any Suggestions Or...
Hi - I'm new here - my dd is level 6/7 and is 10 yo. I'm just wondering - do any other parents worry about all the hours spent at the gym on top of the school work? My dd is at the gym 5-6 days a week - which is what they have to do to be competitive at this level. This year she is in 5th...
