First post! I have nowhere to turn to get any answers to a lot of the questions I have that go beyond JO questions because I'm from Maine and as far as I know we have no gymnasts that have ever made it past the JO program. Last year my daughter made the TOPS B team as an 8 year old and we got...

Dd9's development is looking a bit different than that of the other girls on her team, so I'm hoping some of you can offer me some perspective! Dd has grown up in the gym. She was adopted internationally and initially had some developmental delays. At her OT's suggestion, we enrolled her in...

Hello all, Any one (coaches or parents in particular) have any good recommendations on child development/psychology books? Any inspirational books about teaching children too? I am thinking if I educate myself more on child development, I can use some of that knowledge in coaching. I am...
