Corners weren't bad. we were even with the trampoline and there was one more section towards the corner past us, but we could see everything great.

Not sure there's any way to add it on to a regular ticket - we bought a VIP package ticket that came with the talk.

Anyone who has been to the pre show "chalk talk" who what time it starts? I called the venue today and they were clueless - we live far enough away that I'm going to have to pull kids out of school and need to figure out the timing, and all they can tell me is "call back and maybe we'll know."...

We are also going next Friday - tickets were ODD's July birthday gift and she has been counting down the days since then :)

So many feels from this article. Thank you for sharing it. My amazing DD was diagnosed 3 years ago, and I have learned so much about the disease, about her, and about myself (yah, it's often inherited and I know just where she gets it from.) While it makes me angry the the hackers outed Simone...

We are not in exactly your situation (girl and not pre-team yet), but My 4 1/2 year old goes to open gym (open to ages 4-12) and loves it. I would be more comfortable with that than letting her do structured training with kids that much older.

My daughter wanted a pull up bar and the wood of our door frames couldn't support it. We returned it and bought a power tower (freestanding pull up bar plus other exercise stations) for under $100 and a fold up mat that can fit under it or be used alone. It gets a little use by everyone in the...

Dice it up, sauté with pancetta and a few cherry tomatoes until the tomatoes pop, and finish with a touch of good balsamic vinegar... I used to think I hated Zucchini and now it's one of my favorite veggies (only when cooked like this!) Younger DD's reaction: "my vegetable tastes like bacon but...

There's another way to do the penny game that might make it more appealing for the rec kids to contribute to - you recruit a number of coaches or maybe even office staff or owners and have jars out for each of them. Whoever has the most money (with pennies being negative cents) agrees to wear...

My rec kid has privates on a regular schedule, and NO I'm not a CGM! At her level there aren't many rec classes offered so she's not in the gym many hours, and she has trouble focusing when there are a million other classes going on at the same time. Her coach really understands her issues and...

Type in "Athlete Card" in the code box and tap redeem.

I would give her a time limit - I know my 10 year old still doesn't have a great sense of time, so I would actually make it a physical reference along the route home "once we get to xx street and we are halfway home, you have to tell me two good things that happened in practice and then let's...

How old is your child? I would deal with this very differently with my younger child than with my 10 year old...

Maybe it's similar to the Chalk Talk that's part of the VIP packages for the Kellogg's tour - that claims to be "chalk talk hosted by Olympic Champion Nastia Liukin featuring Q&A with select members of the 2016 Olympic team"

You could look at it as giving up their childhoods to chase a dream, or you could look at it as they were so fortunate to be allowed to pursue their passion through an unconventional childhood, and doubly fortunate that they have been able to reach the upper echelons in their field. I guess it...
