I agree tank leos and shorts are sporty and professional. i also hate to see people have to quit because of female issues. the problem is that most people don't admit that is really the issue, so people don't know how common it really is. i don't understand why we would make it hard on teens who...
i think a level 6 who competed all compulsory levels should do a compilation of levels 1-5 and end the compilation with that commencement ceremony music. it would have to flow and be cohesive, but i would laugh.
thanks for all the sweet comments. much love back to you all. i'm good now, and i didn't mean to shift attention to myself. i just totally get how all these people are now coming forward. i get how they felt unable to do anything and were embarrassed and powerless and did ignore it. i had always...
i find it amazing that all of these abusive people thought they could hide how they abused so many people and they got away with for a certain time. BUT NOW... it is all coming out... exposed for the filth that it was...and they are being brought to an end.
i was assaulted before by an...
i'm in my late 30s and i had all my flexibility and most of my strength until about 7-8 years ago. i've tried to get some back, but it seems elusive for now. honestly, i didn't work at it and i kind of took it for granted. meddling with it on occasion. i could still do a backhandspring, bridge...
i would reiterate with your child that despite what the coach told them, it is important for your child to come to you and discuss problems or issues at gym that don't sit well. teaching a kid not to be able to confide in their trusted authority figure is unwise. tell your kid this.
now, when...
I would like it if they just switched from the long sleeve competition leo to a tank leo with shorts for competition. I know... I know... the style has been around for years, but seriously it is 2017. Let's give these girls some coverage, especially those who are post-puberty.
So many of these...
Charles town landing, aquarium, walk through the market, ft sumter, uss yorktown/patriot's point, battery park, ft moultrie (tiny), carriage rides, beach. just check what's open beforehand because of time of year.
Like imagine if the coach stood or squatted (to stay out of the judges view) on the back side of the vault but on the mat, but did not touch the gymnast or the vault.
is there a deduction in xcel gold if the gymnast performs a fhs vault and the coach sits or stands on the backside of the vault, but does not touch the gymnast? just curious...i saw this at a meet.
i would love to speak my mind in depth, but i won't. what i will say is that i think if they brought back mandate scores along with current mobility you would see some things shift to the benefit of gymnasts progressing in skills.
i think it needs to happen. i also think they should put a halt...
My daughter's team had mesh for several years. I loved it! It was honestly the prettiest leotard they had so for that I know of. Many parents complained amongst themselves about the mesh .... "my daughter thinks it's itchy" or "i'm scared its going to rip" etc etc etc.
You know what? I loved...
