I feel your anxiety on a mom level because my son does gymnastics and gets crazy on the trampoline as well. The coach in me knows boys train and learn and do differently from the girls in gymnastics. They typically talk about what they're doing (or are going to do) less and just go for it. I...

LOL That's what I told myself as I went with my kids on a late night ice cream run. I need to have a talk with my body regarding fat storage though as it seems to all want to go to my belly. Which is fine, it just means means more time on the cable machine because I refuse to give up...

Nothing really super important to say here, just saying hi and commemorating the time of year. Can't believe it's almost compulsory season again! My developmental girls moved straight to team so they could get the hours in to be competitive what with the routine changes in place rather than...

It's a wipeout of fb attrition. Even my status linking them to other people for info or verification is gone. I guess anyway, unless it was reported by someone I know but the timing is too convenient for that.

My daughter finally asked the question that's been burning in her mind since reading some of the posts here. She wanted to know why people want other peoples leos because you don't know if they wore briefs or not. I could've said "washing machines, they work!" but instead I went with this...

I got to the part in the wall of text where asking questions and presenting the lack of 501c3 status was compared to rape and stopped. Frankly if answering questions and being transparent in the role she took qualifies as "rapey" then she should step down, no humor intended here. Step down...

That part kills me. Can't claim ignorance on that like you can with paper work. It's so shameless ugh....

Yes this! As long as we can buy Framboise with it too! Also I asked at my gym which is listed as contributor, and got funny looks of "huh?" The simplest conclusion is often the correct one, for me it's: SCAM. Maybe a well intentioned one but a scam nonetheless. Here's my biggest issue with...

I don't think neat hair styles get the credit they deserve. They're seen as kind of frivolous or fun when they're very much about utility and ease of movement. What's actually frivolous is a coach not spotting because they have both hands raking through very tangled, very short, very thick, or...

When I was in gymnastics and dance my mom used to pay for the leg massage (below the knee) with a pedicure. My coach had to deal with serious knots once while on a vault rotation, got a cramp that knocked me on my knees during a run. My daughter isn't currently in a sport, but that's the route...

Oh I have no idea, my post was made entirely on the assumption that UA would be more than a logo on the material. It could very definitely be that! If so then meh! I'd only pay premium dollar for an actual material or construction difference. GK makes excellent leos with or without the UA logo!

I'm more conflicted on this than I thought I'd be! I don't like the chunky seams that Adidas had, but I liked their designs and cost. Under Armour will be more expensive, but is also built to last...but kids grow so fast I don't think I've ever seen a leo actually wear out rather than simply...

Pointing is a learned skill for a lot of people, don't feel alone at all in that! As far as stretches go to help, I'd go to Target or Walmart and get some therabands in the workout/fitness aisle. They may be knock off bands, they're fine too. You're looking for rubbery strips basically. They...

Adobe was a bit of a process to get on an Android since there's no longer native support, but it's easy for anyone who may need it. I went to settings, security, and checked the "allow apps from other than google play" option. Then googled "Archived flash for Android" and went with 11.6, it...

You work for Samsung?! Hope you get a sweet discount on the goods! I'm not a fan of proprietary cable trend either, but Apple loves it too so there's no escape between the 2 main competitors. Good call on flash, will do. I won't miss that "derp what you're looking at requires flash" screen...

You should see me rage when it "bricks" on facebook, all my apple fanboy friends try to diagnose in chat despite me warning them off over my bad attitude due to it. I send a mass text out "iBricked" to the people who need to know at the gym and they have a field day with it. Samsung Galaxy S4...

That is fantastic to hear! Gotta embrace it imo, too much to be gained. I love that you guys have streamlined the process by having one tablet per group, that makes sense. I'll have to see if the other 2 womens coaches will get on the Evernote train with me! We do communicate a lot but I'm...

Evernote looks fantastic too, some days there's so much I want to remember. This is a great option for right after class when it's all still fresh. Especially conditioning reps and numerical things for the kids that I could never remember on my own. I need to get some charts going for the...

Thanks JBS! I'll look into it. One of our recent gym upgrades was time delayed flat screens everywhere for the competitive equipment, but we work out at the same time as our optional teams. It would be funny to take the remote from the coaches and be like "Excuse me, I need to rewind to our...

I was fully prepared to dislike this as a method of punishment. In the case of nipping bullyish behavior in the bud though you gotta stop worlds and that includes gym. Go go parent driven behavior modification! Make an impression with your standards and stick to your guns. Good for you in...
