    WAG leotard cut/fit

    I think the leotard looks fine. A little lower on the hips makes that big of a difference to you guys? It's a leotard, not exactly the most conservative, modest things a girl can wear. They both look beautiful in it and are amazing gymnasts(:

    WAG Gym/meets on Sundays?

    I've had training on Sunday before and many many meets on Sundays. Meets are usually Friday, Saturday, or Sunday just depending on how big the meet is. May I ask what it is about Sunday meets that you dislike? Many other sports have meets/games on Sundays.

    WAG Bars Help

    Maybe you're using the wrong muscles? On conditioning or on bars.

    WAG Grips!

    I'm a 3rd year level 10, I've used grips since level 4... I don't think that's the problem...

    WAG How flexible are you/is your DD? Does she stretch at home?

    Our coaches have told girls to stretch at home before. I did sometimes when I was younger but more when I had been sick, on vacation, etc. I feel that 40 minutes is too long as she probably already spends hours in the gym...

    WAG Grips!

    You'd think that as a level 10 I would have figured out what grips I like... but no, not really. So I have bulldogs and they stretch out so fast, they're also too smooth? I don't know if that makes sense but It just feels like I need to get chalk a lot. Does anyone have any recomendations?

    WAG How much stress is too much?

    WAG How much stress is too much?

    Thank you everyone for your responses. To be honest, I don't know what excatly is making me feel overwhelmed... I'm in a constant state of anxiety, insomnia, etc.

    WAG How much stress is too much?

    When it comes to a gymnast's life, balancing everything and getting stressed out, in your opinion, when is it too far? When is too much, well too much? I'm reaching my breaking point/:

    WAG Church & Gymnastics

    This brought on so many arguments between me, my coaches and my family. It was a stressful and low time for me. It's unfortunate that theres not other way to do it, I personally chose not to get confirmed. Hope it all works out.

    WAG Strained Groin?

    Worst thing ever! I sympathize greatly): I pull/strain my groin all the time. Those stupid leaps! haha

    WAG Have you ever lost a skill? What to do then???

    Take it from a level 3rd year level 10 who's lost almost everything (and gotten it back). Skills just do that sometimes, especially a kip! Extremely common and expected.

    WAG Vault Twisting

    Make it as low as possible and take it easy. Don't just chunk a full, haha Have you done any standing twisting from the table or from a handstand?
