brag alert

Okay, so I just had to share with others who would have a clue what I'm talking about. DD was VERY excited to get her kip this weekend, and wanted to tell everyone she knew. The reaction was the same for almost everyone: "That's great! What's a kip?" :confused: She would tell them, "It's a...

DD was supposed to have a private Saturday but woke up sick. Her coach called me during that time and we started chatting. She said that she knew she probably shouldn't be telling me, but they've already make the decision to move DD up at the end of the season. She is currently a L4 and just...

My DD got her front limber today!! Wooohoo! I loved the look on her face when she finally got it... got it again, and again :) She was so proud! :)

My dd placed 3rd in her age division on tramp and is the 2nd alternate for Eastern's AND... WON her Double mini category, qualified for Team Ontario for Eastern's and may I please just add that she is 9, and had the highest score of any age group for her level... Okay brag over... :/ #proud mama

I thought I would share the video of Alex's 2nd meet of the season. I am trying to become a good videographer (it's a lot harder than I thought:boggled:!!). Hopefully I will get better by the end of the season!! Alex keeps surprising me this year! She recieved her highest AA score ever at...

'K... I did it. I am the first official member of the moderated group "Brag Alert". I think if you go to Forum and then Community you should be able to find it (I'm new to all this). I guess I will have to approve you in order for you to be in the group. I will try not to be corrupted by all...

Not a front limber yet but close! I FINALLY got it! The simplest thing was holding me back - I always tried to get up from my toes. The girls on my team were saying it was so much easier to get up with flat feet, but that just never felt comfortable to me. But it's the best way, I'll get used to...

Well, can't help it because seeing my daughter grinning from ear to ear had me wanting to share this. She got her kip tonight!! She has been working so hard on this and it has been her main goal over the past 6 months (ever since the coaches started uptraining). She had the older girls...

Tonight some other team moms and I went to visit our girls at Woodward. The pot was sweetened somewhat by the fact that there is a very good restaurant near Woodward (Aside: Anyone with kids going to Woodward in PA HAS to stop at the Elk Creek Cafe in Millheim... locally raised meats, locally...

I am happy to say that my DS (6) is now an official gymnast! He has been taking a rec class for about 2 months now and he got his first rip about a week ago! Also, last night he did a pullover by himself for the first time and (with a little assistance....ok, alot of assistance) he did a cast...

I posted awhile back that DD was struggling to get her kip and finally tonight she was able to do 5! I'm just so proud of her and happy for her. I have to admit that I thought it was never going to happen. It felt that way anyway. She had done some "accidently" when she was first learning...

My dd struggles with her bhs she is training level 5 and tonight she got her double bhs!! It even looked pretty good,lol! She did it about 10 times and she was so excited, I love to see them when they get a skill they have been working so hard on:)

I am 14 yrs old and I started gymnastics at 13 with no prior experience. I am very proud of the progress I have made so far. I compete on a prep - opt intermediate team (lvl 5/6) and my hardest skills are: Bars: flyaway (supposes to be tucked but I pike (not on purpose)) Beam: cartwheel -...

Hi again, It was a strange meet....second to last before States....38.5 AA 9.8 on Floor (best ever), Beautiful Beam routine...9.45??? Strange and bars and vault great... She was most happy she "got over the vault" LOL. Love this kid....last meet as a 7 year old and her teammates took...

I know it's not the biggest skill, but I was so proud of my daughter last night when she got her back handspring on high beam. Three days ago she could barely do it on low beam :confused: She also nailed 8/9 standing back tucks last night which is also new for her. Thanks for listening...

I just wanted to brag about my daughters coach! Daughter was going through a rough time this year thinking about quitting her coach spoke with her one night and she has not mentioned it since. Then she manages to help my daughter get more confidence in her floor routine and helps her get a...

This year the way the meet schedule worked out was that Kathy's first meet and her last meet were at the same gym. Her first meet, back in October, was NOT pretty. She scratched on bars, got a 4.85 on vault, and a 21.3 AA. That day I told her, "Your last meet of the season is here too. Just...

Well I know this is a strange post...Little Bit did great again...38.275 but it's becoming old hat...."she's a machine" is the comment we hear....and it's expected. How do you help a little gymmie stay excited when 38+ is expected? It's a long road and I want to help her!! YouTube - Excalibur...

So I got a call from the gym this morning. They want to move DD to Level 5 starting on Monday. I had my reservations, but after our discussion I feel okay about it. She will train with the Level 5's, but still get to compete Level 4 in the fall as originally planned since she's not old enough...

Sophia's third meet today.....solid across the board....and a 9.750 on Beam!!! Way to go! Her team took the team award with only 5 girls...Love it. YouTube - USAG Level 5 GMS Sophia
