    What was/is that one skill that came easily to you?

    My flyaway. I did a couple on the belt, was spotted no more than twice and it just... came, I guess.

    WAG How far will I get if I start again at 15?

    It depends on a lot of things.The harder you work the farther you will get. Also, every gymnast is different. So because gymnast X started at age 15 and got X far, it doesnt mean gymnast Y will get X far also.

    Off Topic Anyone been to broadway shows?

    Does anyone have a recommendation for a broadway show to see? (My family likes taking a train to the city) We have seen Wicked (Which was amazingly fantastically spectacular) and would see it again. Has anyone else seen shows, and would have ideas about where to go?

    WAG "Mind gym" Should be required reading

    I have had a history of mental toughness issues and fears, so my Mom bought me the book Mind gym.

It helped me deal with...

    WAG US Awards

    WAG Awards or not... (and a little brag)

    Depends on a few things: Is it a big meet? More girls= more routines= more time. If it is a big meet, I say leave, someone else can accept your DD's medals. If it's small, you can stay.

    WAG What does your gym do to make your home meet special?

    Edit: We have been running this meet for 10 years, (ever since our gym's team program came around) and it has over 600 girls in it (only about 70 are ours) so this meet has gotten to be a great fundraiser for our gym, so the costume contest and the fun aspect keeps teams coming to the meet.

    WAG What does your gym do to make your home meet special?

    My gym's home meet is a costume contest- pick a holiday and dress up. A superteam award is given out after the last session, counting the top 20 scores on each event. 3 points are awarded for winning best dressed and happiest team each session. What does your gym do?

    WAG What do they talk about?

    For us, it's "Welcome to /insert event name here/ /question about last event such as "did you stay on the beam"/ Okay, well good luck today, and have fun"

    Parents Gymnastics is a priviledge, not a right!

    Ah, the unexpected weeks off can either be the best ones or the worst- in this case its the bad side of the scenario.
