I have an extremely hypermobile level 7 gymnast with beautiful artistry from ballet, but very lean, will never bulk up. In our gym, they are promoting very young, short, square girls. Any advice on how to cope with being passed over multiple times in the only gym within driving distance? How does she continue in the sport she loves?
 
I'm sorry you child is feeling passed over.
I wouldn't write her off. Unfortunately many gymnastics coaches lack education.

Can you access a sports/personal trainer/physio or similar that she can work with to help her develop the strength and stability she needs.

Many gymnasts these days are working with trainers in addition to their gymnastics especially at the elite level.

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
