Thanks! I am coaching Level 3 bars and I have a bunch of girls who want to rush their kip. They are trying to sit up too quickly for the most part. I do all kinds of strength, drills and spotting.
Mine were doing really well with these when I was doing 2 BHC in a row and a couple of other things for them. Now that I moved them on, they are getting bad habits again. Such as throwing the head back, dropping the bar to their knees/shins or just dumping off. I'm a little frustrated.
Does anyone know what it takes to get put on the banned list? I think if you are a registered sex offender and you EVER were a pro member, you should be banned. Not that that covers anything but our competitions, but seeing the name on there does help.

My latest meet there was a team that used it at Level 2. I could see the judges over there talking to the coaches but we were competing beam so I didn't see what...
My 13-year-old daughter practices 3 days a week for 4 hours each day. She typically has a GoGo Squeeze and another similar product that has some veggies in there. She's not dieting or trying to lose weight by any means, there are a lot of carbs that are easily digestible in there. She eats...
For one thing, we do not practice over 4 hours and my kids have ample access to a snack. If it has to be Oreos because someone forgot, then so be it. It is just not a preferred snack. Not sure why that opinion is SO wrong.
Not disrespectful. We are all entitled to our opinion. I hardly ever see what the kids bring and have as a snack to be honest. Unless it's crumbs from the aforementioned cookie around their mouth. Or it is all over the floor after practice.
