problem

A few girls on my team, including myself, sweat through our competition leos. I know sweating is normal and healthy but it's quite embarrassing to have huge sweat circles under your arms for everyone to see! Our leos are also really red so it's VERY noticeable :confused: Does anyone else have...

Please someone tell me how is a correct side split?I heard a correct one sign is that to be able to touch your knee(from the further leg side) and that is exactly impossible for me.I have no idea how to correct that.please give me suggestions.And my other question is that how much splits are...

I hate writing about 'problem children' because I really do believe that ALL kids are good and sweet, BUT, There is a girl on out team who is about 8, and she has major behavior problems which not only affect the class, but really exhaust the coaches. She argues with correction, makes faces at...

I was having some groin pain when doing round-offs so went to see my physio the other day (she is a dance physio and very good). She believes the pain is from an inflamed hip joint capsule caused by an 'impingement' when my femur rotates inwards as I have very little range in that direction...

Hi guys, I'm new to Chalkbucket, I am currently an level 4 gymnast. My back walkovers and back handsprings need alot of improvement. My coach says I have no 'Arch' in my back. I can barely do a backbend sometimes I've gotten my back checked this weekend, they said it was fine. So I'm just...

We have one gymnast who was a Level 3 last year. She's 10 1/2 and is quite a talent. She's trying to get her kip so that she can go new Level 4 in the fall. The problem is she's been a terror, bullying her old Level 3 teammates and saying rude things. The dad I have been friendly since they...

Ah, yes, I always have some big issue on my back handspring. -On the landing of my back handspring, my hands are way behind me and my head, chest, and belly land way in front, often causing me to hit my head on the landing. -I always try to jump as powerfully as I can and push my arms way back...

Everytime one of my gymnasts does her round off back handspring her shoulders close on her back handspring, either landing on her face or her elbows. Her round off is nice and she can complete the skill but I cannot figure out why her shoulders close. HELP!

Lately, when ever I do a back handspring at home on my mat(only a couple of inches thick) my head and my wrist end up hurting. Any suggestions or explanation or even tips would help.Does this happen to any of you? Thanks:)

I was looking back at some clips when I was 12 (Before I got hurt) and I noticed that when I did front fulls I would quarter twist to my left, by the time I was upside down it looked like I was doing an aerial or side flip and then I would quarter twist to my right before I landed. So ultimately...

When I do my Rudy(1.5 twisting front layout), I'm dropping my shoulder, so I don't go very high. I've been trying to correct this for about a month and I can't make myself correct it. Do you guys have a drill to fix this?

Hi, I am an adult who has just joined a Gymnastics program. I have a strange problem with my left shoulder while doing forward rolls. My left shoulder collapses(internally rotates) when i initiate the roll. How do I correct this?

Just wondering if anybody has any ideas or drills that help me with the following problem. One of my gg's seems to be twisting in the middle of her backhandspring! her roundoff is straight, going into the flip is straight, and then twisting hips in the air which brings her down crooked. I have...

Hello! BeeBee Loo is having major issues with her feet, specifically her toes! It started out as what looked like really deep blood blisters on the underside of her 3 toes right next to the big one on just one foot. The blood blisters would work their way up to the surface of the skin and...

My daughter seems to switch dominant sides depending on activity. Writing, she writers with her right hand. Cartwheels/Roundoffs ... she leads with her left side. She just started doing back walkovers, and she's leading with her right side, I think? (Her right leg is leading the split over...

hi i browse the site on my phone when out and about, and have just realised that although it allows me to put a title line in if i want to make a new thread or reply, it wont let me type anything in the main box (ie here!) has anyone else come across this and can give me some tips?

DD has a front full front pike in her routine, and whenever she does it, it is very pretty. However, she gets her twisting direction mixed up when she twists, so sometimes instead of doing a full she does a 1/2 one way and then a 1/2 back. She is a righty, and her coach says she is getting her...

Hi all, Just beginning to teach these skills to one of my gymnasts who just doesn't get the wrist shift and I'm a little bit at a loss as to how to fix it! She can do giants on shiny bar in gloves and loops, but she obviously doesn't have to shift her wrists for them! She can do really nice...

I have my roundoff back handspring (but i go crooked) i cant do a standing back handspring or a front handspring because my left arm wont squeeze tight beside my ear. My right arm squeezes tight beside my ear but my left arm wont do it. Some times it hurts also. My coach says it may be my...
