We survived our first meet of the year, and it went well for us. 2nd AA by .2 is a good start, especially after leaving swings out on high bar. But the cherry on top of a good meet was the coach finding me to rave about my kids... wait for it.... focus and leadership with his younger...

My DD is in the third grade and has to do an informational book report on a sport and of course she chose gymnastics. However I haven't been able to find a gymnastics book that includes the history of gymnastics. The book also has to be on her reading level. Any suggestions????

So today on shawn's Instagram account she announced that she has been writing a novel for young adults. The book is about a high school sophomore who keeps her gymnastics life a secret. I personally am really excited for shawn and will be reading it. The book is currently available from Simon...

Hi everyone, Happy New Year! One of the gymnasts from my gym is sick in the hospital and not able to do much. I was going to visit her tomorrow and bring a couple of things that she would be able to enjoy in the hospital. I was wondering if you have any suggestions for books about...

Hey guys, I am currently in the process of planning a new novel about college gymnastics. I am a big gymnastics fan, especially of college gym, and I feel that the gymnastics community is crying out for more literature works on our beautiful sport! Here is the plot (although it is only...

I know this is incredibly random, and her books are incredibly old, but I remember trying to remember a poem that I read in one of her books... I don't even know which one it was or who it was by (definitely some other author), but I remember reading and being so inspired by this poem that I...

WHEW is all I can say....as a host team family we all worked so hard all weekend to pull this meet off. In the midst of the controlled chaos...Sophia competed. First was floor...gorgeous routine and a fall on last pass....I held my breath and she did a beautiful vault (Start Value 9.7) and...

Muffin, level 1, had her first meet yesterday. She was confident and beautiful and solid! She got 2nd All Around, 1st on bars and floor with the two highest scores of the meet! A 37.10 at her first meet made this mama proud as a peacock! She also increased her Physical Abilities score by 33...

I was really disappointed today. I clicked on the advert for Audible the amazon app and it sounded good but after the free download found out you pay each month and choose a new book. Don't want to commit to anything to pay regularly. Any recommendation for good alternative apps? And download...

It came....it went...we kicked its...well you know... First meet of the Year is now over and in the books. Pretty happy with DD as she placed on Beam and in the All Around. She made some silly mistakes on the over events. Ones that I haven't seen her make before. Like a hand slipping on the...

I'm looking for some summer reading fare for DD. She has already read the Dork Diaries and Wimpy Kid series. I'm going to catch her up on the last half of Ivy and Bean. Any other suggestions? She doesn't tend to like anything "fantasy" and while she loves doing gym, doesn't ever seem...

Just wanted to share a little bit more information about my children's book, Tina Tumbles, and a picture from the book, for those that are interested! Tina is a young girl who sees gymnasts flipping across the TV screen and wants to try gymnastics herself. Tina eats, sleeps, and breathes...

I have also got a friend who has written a children's gymnastics book I would like to let CB members know about. (I don't want to hijack, so mods please move this if you feel it should go somewhere else). The writer is a gym dad and the book is about his daughter: http://goodheartbooks.com/

I'm halfway through reading Little Girls in Pretty Boxes, and it's making me want to redirect my DD into another sport. Please tell me it's sensational and exaggerated! After watching the Gabby movie this morning, DD made the comment "when I'm an elite trying out for the Olympics..." I cringed...

Please support Danielle and her great new children's book... http://www.daniellesoucymills.com/ Below is a message from the author...

There have been several threads recently about gymnastics books. I keep having an ad for a gymnastics book series showing up on my CB page. When I click on it, I can go to the website... it looks like 3 of the 4 books in the series are available, but I don't see any way to find out any more...

Searching through old gymnastics files on my computer I came across a book I had begun writing probably 4 years ago. It was meant to be for 1st or 2nd graders and followed the lives of 3 very different level 4 gymnasts. I was already 10,000 words in so I'm considering starting it up again but...

Hi everyone, just wondering if anyone has read any interesting gymnastics books lately. Here are some I've read so far that have been fantastic. Andreea Raducan- The Other Side of the Medal Dominique Moceaneu- Off Balance Bela Karolyi- Feel no Fear Jennifer Sey- Chalked Up Little Girls in...

At my gym we have these binders of the different levels routines. They are extremely technical, but I would like to look at them at home to see if I have all my routines exactly correct. Do any of you know where I could find these pages online or elsewhere? Thanks! -Dyimnasta

DD10 first meet of the season was this weekend. It was the Idaho Judge's Cup. It was a critique meet so no placements per se but you are ranked 1-44 ( that's how many L6 there were) and you can qualify for state and the level sevens can qualify for the Idaho state team for the Nation Judge's...
