she could try to either slow down at the top and step onto the bar and do her flyaway right from that, or she could kill her power and do a kip out of it.

Thanks to all the the people who have been commenting I will certainly ask my coach if I can try some of these suggestions. Thank you!

About a year and a half ago I missed both hands doing two connected backhandsprings on beam. Since that I haven't been able to do them on the high beam again. I can do them over and over on the low beam, but as soon as I get up on the high beam I freeze. I need some drills or tricks or anything...

My old coach.

I have been in USAG for 8 years and in MAGA for 1. In USAG we were taught because of that I don't complain. I went to a doctor and they said a sprain or a tear of the MCL ligament. I went to get it reexamined yesterday and it's a partial tear of the MCL ligament. And about the "freshman" thing...

Thank you for the advice.

Hello this is my first year doing high school gymnastics. I have been in gymnastics for ten years and I've had four different gyms but I've never had a coach like this. A week ago I was at a meet and I threw my double twist for the first time since July. My foot caught the floor at 1 and 3/4. I...

you need more snap down on your round off handspring cause its a little too slow

well I have mostly seen headbands, pony tails, bandaids, and for some reason a bunch of chalk blocks

Oh my gosh. I'm so sorry to hear that. I hope you feel better. Hopefully it doesn't happen again. Be careful. Feel better!

well I believe that if you still enjoy it to stay in it, but if you are not having any fun then you should be done. Make sure that you wont regret the dicision that you end up making. Don't let a small thing like not progressing as fast as usual screw up your happiness in gymnastics.

I was at a gym sort of like that, so I decided to leave. That was a great decision. After one year at a new gym I have improved greatly. I am very impressed with my progress when I joined that gym. I could have never thought that I would have become as good as I am now. So basically you should...
