When it comes to gymnastics, I'm sort of ignorant. I don't understand a lot of the lingo, and, for the life of me, I don't understand what the judges are looking for. I have picked up some of it, but not nearly enough.

Is there a good "idiots guide" to gymnastics? Starting from lower levels going up. When DD (or her coach) starts talking and using terms....I get that glazed "deer in the headlights" look about me. LOL. It is rather embarrassing.

Beam deductions

Hi everyone! I’m hoping to get some help understanding my deductions on beam. I’ve been watching my videos back, but I’m having trouble figuring out exactly where the judges are taking the most off. If anyone is willing to take a look and give me some feedback, I’d really appreciate it. I’m especially curious about execution deductions, rhythm/connection issues, and anything in my acro or dance that might be costing me. The judge started me at a 10 for this routine, and I got a 9.1
