venting

Never mind. Too much identifying information necessary to communicate my frustration.

Today was one of the worst practices I've ever had. To start off, my coach told us she had some bad news for us. We have 2 more weeks with her, and then she's being switched to another location. She is the best coach I've ever had, and I'm so upset that she's leaving so soon (I've only had her...

I injured my back about six weeks ago doing a round off off of a mat. I went to the doctor, taped it, iced it, ect. I have not been able to do half of the things at practice, :mad: but have still been going to do conditioning and whatever else I can do. My coaches understand and have been...

My dd had her states Friday. She did well, but I dont understand. She got 5th AA. Her beam was clean, still she got 8.8. Today, at home, she was on trampoline. She got front/back tuck. Back layout, backhandspring, and backhandspring layout stepout. Id put a video online, but she doesnt...

So we had our 3rd meet today... Pretty memorable due to the following facts: The competition was held in 2 gymnasiums (3 apparatus in one, the 3 others in another one) The fire alarm went on in the middle of the meet, while we were going to start the warm-up for the 4th apparatus... The fire...

So, every year I can't wait until meet season starts...so I can see the girls perform their new routines and see how they are going to score, etc. I even like packing up and heading out on weekend trips at the BEGINNING of meet season. Right now, we are over halfway through the season with...

I'm not sure whether to just feel angry or just sad! DD went to a birthday party on Saturday for one of her teammates. The girl is two years older and invited several girls from the gym. A few of them spent the night afterwards at the birthday girl's house (not my DD). Apparently the girl has...

I just need to vent a bit about how my track suit that we order before winter break still isen't here. I heard that there was a back up in the delay's or something, but it's been a month and we still haven't got it. We order are leotards at the same time and they came in on Wednesday, and my...

Just need to vent.... Daughter who's 7 has been practicing and finally got her pullover on the bar last week. She was soooo excited to show the HC tonight. Right when she got there she went over and asked him if she could show him what she can do on the bar, he said after you warm up (good idea)...

So the pants that were ordered for dd's warm ups were too long...to the extent that they were long enough for me. No biggie, she will grow, but brought them to the alterations place to have them hemmed and the waist taken in. Skinny is dd's middle name. They said they would be ready today...

I went to a high school meet the other day and I need to vent about something I've seen more and more often in the past few years. These kids are doing everything they can to throw more advanced skills on bars that look HORRIBLE to increase their start value. Sadly, they seem to be rewarded for...

Ok we were at a meet this past weekend and I need to vent about the hotel or I'm going to burst. The hotel we stayed at was one of the host hotels (a Hilton). There was supposed to be a special rate with those booking for the meet. I went to book as was told there were no more rooms at that...

Alright.. bear with me now lol! So I am level 6 at the moment, but registered for level 7 in a meet in 8 weeks. I know I have a lot of work cut out for me, and am trying my best at every practice. My coach is starting to drive me nuts! She is saying things like I suck, that I am never going to...

dd has had a sore wrist she saw therapist last week then very hard training session sore hip and ridiculously sore wrist went back again. she sent us to hospital to get checked out for possible break or tendons or ligaments damage clear xray didn't check anything else then said prob soft tissue...

I am not looking for advice; nor am I necessarily looking for members to comiserate (sp) with me. However, I just feel the need to vent. There is a little girl on my DD's team who consistently says such mean spirited and cutting things to my DD and the other girls on the team. What's worse...

Okay, we just found out the day of states for next year which is about 2 months earlier than normal. Fine. except for the fact that that is 2 weeks after the school holidays and they expect us to cancel any holiday we have planned or not go with our family even if it is just for a week of the 3...

Back in June a couple of the kids I coach made the cheer team at their high school. This particular school required them to attend a week and a half long tumbling camp at a local cheer gym. They are also required to take classes at this other gym. Back in June, one girl was really close to...

Ok, so basically I just need to vent. I have no one to talk to about this... I've been doing gym since I was 18 months old, and have never stopped since. Lately, I've just been feeling a lost of interest in the sport...to be honest, I just don't really want to go to gym anymore! I know for a...

Had a whole long post and the CB ate it! Ack! It was probably too long or something, lol. Anyway, I am extremely ticked at DD's gym, and could use some BTDT advice. Since my fingers are good and sore from my first attempt, I will try to summarize my issues in point format! 1. Have had...

As you know my DD has been out for a little over 3 weeks with a severe back sprain (not Spondylosis thank goodness) and has been cleard to return on a moderate activity level. No twising or spinal jaring motions. Her first day back is today!! WOO HOO...BUT we were up at gym monday to try on...
