    Parents Use of time outs as punishment

    Dunno, I understand that I do not understand. But how should we, as parents, deal with fear? The child returns from practice crying and depressed for days or even weeks. I can't stand to see her this distressed. At what point do we say "enough!" I don't think I could go through that kind of...

    Parents Use of time outs as punishment

    Nobody wants gymnasts to be Punished for fear, I get that. I'm not proud of what I did but it was one time in 7 years. But do you really want to wait months for a gymnast to do a back walkover on beam? Is it better to be so patient the gymnast takes herself out of contention at meets? This is a...

    Parents Use of time outs as punishment

    Ours run stairs or do other strength and conditioning if they consistently refuse to do a skill. One time I had to come to the gym and basically order my dd to do her bhsbhs on beam because the coach was totally fed up with her. This was after weeks of drama and refusal and it was the night...

    MAG DS fractured his elbow

    It sounds like a best-case scenario. My dd dislocated her elbow and had surgery, six weeks in a cast and eight weeks of restricted activity and physical therapy.

    Parents Not allowed to move to team...

    This whole subject has really angered me. I am do glad we go to a gym that is more interested in talent and athleticism than measurements. I understand traditionally gymnasts are smaller and that's fine. But to eliminate a gymnast due to her height or weight is disgusting. Our gym has our share...

    Tell my dd she's too tall when she's standing on top of the podium.

    We have a gym near us that kicks out their too tall gymnasts. This gym has went nowhere fast. Those gymnast they kick out? They come to us and get scholarships.

    This whole height argument bothers me. My dd is "tall" for a gymnast at 5'3. However, she is an awesome, beautiful gymnast. I hope the days of 16 year old 60 lb, 4'8 gymnasts are over. What about Nastia? Kyla? Svetlana? Ashanee?

    I think the running comment is bizarre. Maybe if he said the approach to vault was poor...

    WAG Gabby Douglas leaves Chow's Gym, moves to L.A.

    I feel sorry for Gabby. She accomplished something amazing but fame is fleeting. But Chow will be fine. He has some amazing young gymnasts at his gym and I'm sure dozens of young hopefuls are waiting at the door.

    Parents Anyone have size Child Large Leos they dont need?

    It's just bizarre. And you would have to donate many, many Leo's to earn enough credits to get anything back. Every awful story begins with "we were on beam and..."

    Parents Anyone have size Child Large Leos they dont need?

    I wonder How many Leo's would be donated if the gymnasts truly knew this has nothing to do with "charity?" Or if they knew their Leo's would supply a pro shop I'm the Presidents gym? Every awful story begins with "we were on beam and..."

    It's basically a "resale" company. There is no charitable component. Every awful story begins with "we were on beam and..."

    Parents Anyone have size Child Large Leos they dont need?

    The organization's own description Does not say that Leos will go to "needy" gymnasts. It says it provides them at a lower cost. Every awful story begins with "we were on beam and..."

    Parents Anyone have size Child Large Leos they dont need?

    And why is it ridiculous to want to buy Leo's worn by famous gymnasts? Granted, I said it on jest but if everything is tracked, why not? Every awful story begins with "we were on beam and..."
