Hi! So I'm in charge of movie nights for an organization at my college but the movies have to be kid friendly and still enjoyed by college kids. I don't really watch movies so I don't have a lot of ideas. Do any of you have any good movie ideas? So far I have: Up Princess Diaries (not enjoyed...

In a thread in the parent forum about videotaping meets, someone mentioned that they videotape the whole team in case the judge misses something in their routine. Will judges actually watch a video of a routine if the judge says the gymnast didn't do xyz and the coach says they did? I'm...

I wasn't sure which forum to post this in- woman's artistic gymnastics or men's artistic gymnastics! But I wanted to post this video because I thought it was really cool. I'm not sure why she is competing men's gymnastics other then because it is really awesome. Enjoy!

The social media thread got me thinking. Do you think it is appropriate for coaches to a) be friends with their gymnasts on facebook/instagram when the gymnasts are currently on the team? b) if they are friends with their gymnasts, post things that aren't necessarily inappropriate but things...

Does anyone have any leg conditioning ideas that don't involve squatting or a lot of pounding? I used to squat like nobody's business with weight but squats aggravate my old knee injury so I'm trying to find other leg conditioning to do! Thanks in advance!

It's been about a year since I was forced to retire from gymnastics because of a career ending injury. Now I am starting to play another sport that my doctor approved me to participate in. I'm just in the beginning stages of learning; most of the girls I would be competing against if I ever get...

I was bored and missing gymnastics over spring break so I was re-watching my old meet videos. My dad was the one videotaping while my mom (unknowingly) entertained all the parents in the stands with her monologue that I could then hear when I watched my meet on the camera. Even though my mom...

I found this very interesting, but I am a big nerd so I don't know if anyone else will but I wanted to post anyway. Below is a link to a paper about Compliant ankle function results in landing-take off asymmetry in legged locomotion...

I hope this is okay to post. If not please remove it. Please think about or pray for my roommate's mom. She had a brain aneurysm and never regained consciousness and is having another surgery to try to remove some more pressure from her brain. Thanks so much! Thanks so much, it is greatly...

I didn't know exactly what to title this thread but I definitely wanted to post a thread on it as sort of a public service announcement if that is ok. I had a very unconventional gymnastics career where I wasn't afraid of much and my coaches didn't like to teach new skills much so I taught...

Does anyone have any advice for conquering nerves? I've always been a very nervous child and a huge worrywart but it has gotten worse as I have gotten older. I'm talking about throwing up before competitions and not being able to sleep for nights before because I'm nervous for them. It never...

I've recently started trying to eat really healthy. I started making fruit smoothies with kale and chia seeds in them for breakfast or for a snack and I eat a lot of Greek yogurt. Does anyone have any ideas or recipes for healthy eating? I'm getting tired of the few things I have found to be...

I have been running a lot recently, between 40 and 50 miles a week and my legs are so sore! I stretch after I do my warmup run before I do my actual run and I stretch after my cool down run too. Does anyone have any good ideas on how to fix soreness? My legs are pretty much sore all the time and...

Congratulations to Jake and to Kayla Nowak, an Oklahoma gymnast who got engaged today! I think all female gymnasts are sad today, myself included but congratulations to them! :)

I posted awhile go about my concussion and if it was worth it to go back to gymnastics. My doctor made the decision for me. I am not medically able to do gymnastics ever again! It is really a bittersweet thing. I had so much I was still learning and so many more skills I could achieve but...

I'm in the middle of a really tough situation and I need advice please! Gymnastics background: I started gymnastics at a gym with very limited equipment and space and the coaches did not know how to spot or anything so most of the skills I learned I taught myself by playing around at open gym...

What are some other sports that are related to gymnastics that do not involve high risk of head injury? I may not be cleared to do gymnastics again because of too many concussions so I would like to continue with something related and not put myself in any danger of getting another head injury...

I have not posted on here in a long time so I thought I would post an update! I got my first injury ever in my 10 years of gymnastics recently! I have a stress fracture in my shin. I am on crutches now and I go back to the doctor in about 3 weeks so hopefully i'll be allowed to go back then! He...

What exactly is bonus for level 9? C+C is i think? Is C+B also bonus? I think on bars a higgins straddle back handstand to a toeshoot (uphill) would be 3 tenths total bonus? Can you give me some examples of dance combos on beam and floor that would be bonus? Thank you so much (:

I had states today! I won Vault Bars Beam and AA. Didn't place on floor but thats another story haha.
