    Wrist Injury

    i know when i was having lots of problems with my wrist it actually turned out to be a severely bruised bone.. it sucked but after almost 5 months of complete rest with it and then home PT it's getting a lot better.. really.. stay off of it but do simple strengthening exercises.. squeezing a...

    Injuries

    i know this sucks but take it easy for a few weeks. take a week off.. then slowly come back. do some strengthening exercises. most sports injuries are overuse injuries. i just got back from a severely bruised bone in my wrist and it sounds really petty but it had me not able to even put any...

    bridges

    i our pre-school classes, our directors told our coaches just at our last meeting that we can allow the kids to do bridges and position their hands a feet correctly but we aren't allowed to help pull them up into the full bridge or anything. 6yo is when they can move from kindergarten class up...

    Tiger paw usage.

    yea, i understand the fashion trend thing. i coach the beginning kids at our gym up to pre-team. i have had rollers (first level) gymnasts wearing tiger paws. now these are girls doing bridge from stand as their most impacting move. we had so many rollers through kippers (lvl 1-3) girls wearing...

    Club vs. HS Gymnastics

    there's no doubt that in exception to the injuries, i have a ton more fun in HS. its just more like hanging out with friends. but it was hard for me because the only time i saw the girls on my sophomore year team was at practice because we went to different schools. we had sleepovers and gift...

    Club vs. HS Gymnastics

    i 100% see where ToeTheLine is coming from talking about the injuries. my freshman year i went to a public school with a whole HS team of beginners. My coaches way of solving this problem of having so many beginners was to have practices mon-sat. every day. three hour practices. For the girls...

    Killer Practice

    i think the worst workouts i have is when they make us do full gym conditioning when my legs hurt (i have a lot of problems with the one and we aren't sure what's wrong) but the full gym cond. isn't as bad as some of you guys wow. we just have to jump all the beams, butt scoots (straddle with...

    DD is driving me nuts in the gym

    i wouldn't worry about her needing the spot again after switching gears a few times. in my bhs classes that i teach, i have a specific few girls who need spotted on the first handspring every time their turn comes up. they know they can do it but it scares them to have had the 5 or 10 minute...

    Coaches Twisting Direction vs Pirouetting Direction

    see the difference between you and someone like me is that you already have your full and you've already decided which way is comfortable. for me i have no clue which way is comfortable for me. i find it extremely difficult to twist either way. honestly i feel just stupid to twisting it's quite...

    Preventing Rips

    this sounds like a great idea but i can't quite picture how this works.. maybe i'm just dumb lol. could you possibly post a picture of what it should look like? i don't ever rip but i know some girls at my gym that would totally appreciate the advice.

    Coaches Twisting Direction vs Pirouetting Direction

    blantonnicks post has helped me most honestly. i like the more common analogies of turning a steering wheel. the optic and all the other articles almost left me more confused than i was when first arriving upon the question of which way do i turn and why does it feel more comfortable going left...

    YMCA and club whats the differences?

    my experience being in both club and y gyms. i felt at my club gym my coach didn't push us as hard to stick just to our skills. many of us girls were working bhs on beam and layouts and stuff as level 5's. now of course he made us work our level skills. but it seems like ymca gym is so strict...

    vault Drills

    make sure if you're going to start working half on's, you don't reach with just your hands. think about keeping your body extremely tight and turning your whole body to place your hands.

    2 Bars Questions

    seriously, that was always really hard for me too but i just worked a lot LOT on my ab and thigh muscles and i saw much improvement over time. Also at the new gym that i'm currently training at, our warm-up routine on low bar is to do 5 push away kips in a row before we're allowed to do...
