Parents Article from new gym dad

This was great! I shared it on my FB- thanks!

(Obviously the language isn't an issue for me- better or worse, I cuss much more than that)

Me too, just during a football game.

I'm an Italian from Queens, I didn't even thin twice about the language. It's like having a conversation with my Dad.....

Best gymnastics article I've read in a long time, and DD is now an upper level optional. I know someone else said this, but those last two lines are classic. And I keep thinking that the dad who wrote this article still doesn't know what he's getting into. I hope he writes more about his journey so we can all relive the phases!

Loved it! I'm not a newbie "meet mom" but this sure is true.. 1 meet or 100!

I enjoyed this article. My DD is a newbie (level 2 pre-team). She’s in the “years of practice” phase (which I think is understated in the article). Oddly I’m looking forward to all of it (except the losing part). I feel like just competing is a huge accomplishment. The dedication that’s needed to master the skills and learn the routines and then try to nail it under pressure. Bravo to all the gymnasts, coaches and parents that have participated in this feat (and then returned to do it again and again).

I totally loved this!!!
And I"m totally sharing it on my FB (one of my requirements for FB friends is that it's okay for me to use that kind of language without them being offended )
