Thanks everyone for all of your help. I will be going to camp for two weeks and I am flying delta into Detroit instead of Chicago. It was less expensive that way.
Ok so first I would like to say I am not looking for medical advice, I was just wondering if there was anyone else out there in the same situation.
So recently I switched gyms, the warmup is much longer than old gym and it is more complex. I like it but ever since switching to the new gym I...
I would love to go to school for sports management and/or an athletic trainer. I would love to do collegiate gymnastics so I wouldn't be able to work while in college. After I graduate I would love to open my own gym, I know it sounds like every other gymnasts thing that they want to open their...
Coming from the gymnast end of things. I was in this exact situation at my old gym. It was a fairly small gym and I started later than all the other girls so I never truly had a group to join. The girls I did talk with tended to be younger than the girls that were my age. It was hard not having...
I do wear braces. I generally put them over tape because I dont like how much I slide with the braces on beam. My doctor told me that I should wear tape and only brave if I absolutely need to so I can try and strengthen them. My ankles are in very bad condition and I do my best to take are of...
I really do not know much about Flipfest except that my coaches old coach is one of the coaches there. From what I heard it is a great camp and you should have a great time. I believe that my coach said that they are pretty strict when it comes to the time that you go to sleep, but I may be...
The layovers will hopefully both be in Chicago but coming home one might be in Washington dc so if any of you have advice on those air ports that would be fantastic. I'm also flyin united so of anyone has advice on that airline that would be great to. Thank you all for posting so far, it has...
I just found out that I will be traveling to Dallas two weeks before I go to camp, so I am hoping to get used to an airport while on that trip. So I will e ready for going by myself
First I would like to say that I hope I put this is the right area.
Second, If everything works out I am going to IGC and the end of July and early August for two weeks. I am really excited, but I have a few questions that I was hoping that you may be able to help me with.
1. This is the...
The new coach has been amazing! It is also nice to have one of the coaches majoring in athletic training. Easy for someone to tape my ankles! The old coach is still at the new gym. I think she was just to stressed as a head coach before and so far is much better at being an assisstant coach. She...
Well first I would like to say hello! I havn't been on here in who knows how long, but I am finally back to the site where people relate to me. I wanted to brag a little bit, since I have been of the site I have finished competing state in my "Comeback" year (which I took first on Vault, Bars...
Last night at practice one of the girls on team was running tO do her Tsuk into the pit and slipped off the springboard and the vault lifted and fell on top of both her feet. Her one foot was bleeding pretty bad. After she got it cleaned off the cut was very small but her feet were swollen and...
