    WAG Serious training... curious, how much does it cost

    I budgeted 16k for my level 10 this year. Including gym, travel, apparel, and all. Plus another 15k for private high school. Good thing she doesn't eat much ;).

    WAG level 4 beam score?

    8.5 here. It's a little hard to see details with the video quality/distance but my overall impression is 8.5.

    WAG I'm annoyed

    Very successful foreign coach to group of level 9/10 girls at the beginning of fall training, "You can choose food or you can choose success". I don't like it, but there is no doubt it is out there, folks. It's hard/impossible to escape at the upper levels and college. Teach healthy eating from...

    WAG NCAA championships question

    Ditto what Molly said. Also, if you want to buy a tee or souvenir do it as soon as you walk in because they sell out very quickly.

    WAG NCAA eligibility and freebies

    Modeling does NOT lead to a loss of ncaa eligibility unless the model is paid. My daughter has done this and NCAA preapproved the contract. They can be paid for actual expenses (transportation/meals/airfare) but not for the actual 'modeling'. In addition, here's the wording from the NCAA as...

    WAG Moving to South Korea- need help with gymnastics!

    Unfortunately, there are really no artistic gyms in South Korea like in the US. The Korean National Sports University in Seoul does have a program but it's not expat friendly. Actually, it's not really even child friendly. My info is current as of last fall. The MWR did have a little rec...

    WAG Grips for very tiny wrists?

    Call Mike at US Glove. Ask him. You might want to send him a photo of the problem too. He has always been super duper about helping with any kind of weird fit problem we had. Double neoprene wristbands might help too. Ask Mike.

    MAG Stitches out tomorrow!

    Just a thought - when they remove the sutures they could apply a line of steri-strips. It might make everyone feel more secure :) and they would fall off on their own within a week or so. Good luck!

    WAG elbow dislocation: any experiences, recommendations, advice?

    She actually had two. As soon as the swelling was down from the first surgery they took her out of the clunky Don Joy thing and had the fancy :) brace made. After the second surgery (two months later) there was really very minimal swelling so she went right back into the fancy brace (they...

    WAG elbow dislocation: any experiences, recommendations, advice?

    (this photo might be really distorted - sorry!) Once the swelling is down, this is the Cadillac of elbow braces. I believe that this one was custom made by an orthotist in Michigan. It has adjustable stops and I have heard prices range from $900 up. Some insurance companies will cover the custom...

    WAG Sever's Disease

    I really have nothing to add to this except that Dunno and Larry (love, love, love him) gave this same advice to my daughter about five years ago. She had Severs in badly in both heels. My daughter followed the plan and *magically* about 17 months later the heels were fine and she was living...
