I'm not familiar with that specific pain but I do know that feeling you get in the pit of your stomach when you watch them fall and then get upset. It's so hard not to just panic because of the nature of the sport! I know whenever the gym calls my cell phone I practically have a nervous...
So many great replies, lots of motivated gymnasts out there! I think my dd's goal is to get to level 7, she is absolutely dying to get her own music and routines! After that, who knows, she sometimes mentions competitive cheer and diving. :)
The title of this thread made me laugh out loud because I think I said those exact words a few days ago! Yes, leos are expensive, my dd's is just under $200 this year, thankfully we are using the same warm-up from last year so that was helpful. Irenic, I think you asked about gym bags a few...
Congrats on such a great State meet! So awesome to place on all events! I bet she is beyond thrilled to be a L7 now, her own music and routines! Sounds like she'll have a busy but FUN summer!
Oh my gosh, how awful! You must have been terrified! Thank God you are all ok and it sounds like Liv stayed totally cool and calm. Happy Birthday to sweet Liv, although I am a bit late! I can't believe she is 7, she has literally grown up on CB and youtube! Hope you guys are all feeling...
Welcome to the CB, you will find so many friendly people and lots of great insight and advice! My dd is training L5 too, it's going great but it's sure a big step up from L4! Good luck to both of your dd's!
OK Mariposa, I clicked on your link for the homeschool article and read the first TWO paragraphs and was like, "What is this? What am I not getting", it finally clicked that it was written very tongue-in-cheek! Very cute, and yes, it has been a looong week! Oh, and I never let Ky tumble at...
Congrats to her on an AWESOME state meet! I loved reading her story too, it is very inspiring. It's a very real picture of what gymnastics can be, especially at those high levels. She just pushed through everything and worked it out, with support from her coaches, who were patient while she...
I am so behind on CB and trying to catch up with all of these girls and their awesome accomplishments. She did amazing! Congrats to her, she must be so happy! Those scores were incredible, and good luck nailing the kip!!!
What a wonderful meet she had, and how awesome to score those personal bests! Sorry to hear about regionals, thats got to be tough for her. But training L9 has got to be exciting for her too...what an accomplishment to reach these high levels! Congrats to her!
L5 is so hard! Such a jump from L4! Sounds like your dd is doing awesome and getting all of those new skills so fast. My dd is training L5 right now too, to compete in fall. It seems so far, I know my dd would love to compete it now. Good luck on that kip and pretty bhs bhs, she will get...
She is always one of my favorites to watch, she just looks so happy out there! She did awesome on the events, what a great meet! Congrats to her! I so wish we had that league in Fla, my dd would just love it!
Congrats to her and her accompishments! It must be so rewarding for her to see all of her hardwork come together! And I agree, her coaches sound awesome!!
Congrats to her! She looked great, and I loved her beam. My dd was super impressed, she's like, "I want to try that dismount"...very cool! Good luck at Regionals!
