    WAG What are your tried and true snack choices for your gymnast at practice?

    I have always been a strong believer in having a snack break for kids who practice for four hours. These kids work out very intensely, and so they need effective fuel for their bodies in order for them to get the most out of practice. Gymnastics, being an anaerobic sport, relies on the muscles...

    WAG Questions about Xcel to JO

    I am very glad to hear that you are taking a patient, methodical approach towards competition with this athlete! Honestly, in my own personal opinion, competition should mean absolutely nothing in this coming year, solely because the coronavirus has thrown us all for such a loop. As soon as we...

    WAG New D1 NCAA WGYM program

    It was recently announced that Randy Lane, former assistant head coach at UCLA, will become the head coach for the Sharks! There is a nice interview on one of the recent Routine podcast episodes with him, and he gives a lot of information and details about his plans and goals for the program...

    WAG Is MAG better than WAG?

    I 100% agree with this. There are emotional and physical differences between men and women, but we all still have consciousness and, therefore, humanity. Treatment of humans should be equal; there is no need to modify treatment of an individual based on their biological sex. There’s a quote I...

    Coaches Training game: brainstorm/game design

    I have a few questions @Geoffrey Taucer: Why do upgrades get negative points? Each gymnast plays the game by performing a routine? Or are they allowed to show individual skills? What denotes the end of the game and the winner? Are there rounds to the game? I'm also thinking if there is a team...

    Off Topic The Video Game Thread Strikes Back

    I'm a little late to this thread, but I just have to brag! I just got the platinum trophy in Death Stranding. Man, Kojima is such a visionary! Being a diehard Metal Gear fan for most of my gaming life, I was incredibly intrigued by him striking out on his own and creating Death Stranding with...

    WAG Just a question about current WAG vaults?

    A quick fun fact: the double twisting Yurchenko is a named skill: it’s called the Baitova, named after Belarusian gymnast Svetlana Baitova. She competed it in 1987, and I believe she got it named after her at the 1988 Seoul Olympics.

    WAG Ideal training hours

    My new job is absolutely fantastic! I am learning so much every single day. It is exciting and enlightening, and I look forward to going to the gym everyday. :D In other news, I admit I haven’t been around at all lately, and that’s because I’ve just been super busy. However, I aim to change...
