I think they were shocked. and she did get up, but she said it was a few seconds not right away. she said when she went over the coach asked if she was ok, she said her neck and head hurt and they iced her head, asked her the standard concussion questions, then she iced for about 10-15 min, then...
yes the coaches both saw it. they said they did. and they were freaked out by it according to them, they said it "looked really bad" this is what they told me at the end of practice.
They knew and saw exactly what happened. which is what makes it all worse to me.
I am going to be talking to the coaches on Monday. My dd told me when she fell neither coach came over to her. She said she was on the floor for a few seconds then got up and she went over to the coach, who then asked her questions related to concussion. This just is really making me more upset...
She is 13. She was doing something she has done a million times.....round off back handspring back tuck. She doesnt even know what happened, she just said she didnt get the whole way around and fell.
So my 13 yo dd had a freak accident at practice last week. Doing a skill she has done a million times. It resulted in her falling from about 5 feet in the air and landing on her back, with her neck/shoulder area hitting first, head hit the floor too.
This happened about 1 1/2 hr maybe 2 hr into...
I am tempted to say something to the xcel coach on the observations. And i am not the only one who notices it, but when the girls start to notice, thats when it really starts to bother me.
Disclaimer, this ismlong has some backstory where I speak in old level numbers.
My dd did JO up thru old level 4. Then our gym decided to beef up their Xcel program. At the time ( it was late spring) they said she could either compete level 4 again but she would not move up to Level 5 because...
We do one travel meet a year that requires sleep over. We are told we HAVE to attend every session. So that means between jo and xcel 2 days. 7 other sessions give or take, besides the one my dd is in. Thats a lot of gymnastics to watch.
:)
Just curious if your gym does this and how far away you travel. Are the meets you travel to big? Are they held at the host gym or at another venue?
Do all the gymnasts go to all the sessions of the meet?
Just curious how it works for others.
There isn't any definite known cause but there are theories that it could be from trauma to joint tissue. Repeated stress to he wrist in other words. Like in gymnastics.
they are common in gymnasts
