My dd was diagnosed with same and has Grade 2 slip. She was diagnosed at 9 years old. She is now a 13 year old 2nd year Level 10. Every road is different but good care can allow return in some instances. We took her to a specialist at Johns Hopkins and it made all the difference. Pm me if...

I was told hard work trumps talent....haven't seen that to be true at the highest levels...and the coaches don't enforce the work ethic evenly. If they can perform when it counts, they overlook the bad work ethic...rules are different for each kid at the higher levels. BUT, that being said, if...

My DD is a first year Level 10 and is trying to qualify HOPEs. She made her compulsory HoPEs score and her first level 10 meets have been respectable but not mind blowing awesome. She has been working a lot of skills for HOPEs that have not been put into her 10 routines. She will try them out...

The full turn...at any level it is just hard!!!! Lots of patience and practice....

Thanks everyone. Ive loved every level and stage and I was as nervous at level 4 as I am at level 10:). Good luck to you all this season!

That's amazing talent and coaching!!! Way to go!

I am in awe that she made it to Level 10 and now I'm so nervous for her to actually compete it in a few weeks. It feels like she was just one of the little girls staring at the big girls-and...POOF...here she is a big girl! As a first year level 10, my hope is for a safe season with a good bit...
