the owner of our gym is a fairly gruff guy. i'm not sure about that language exactly, but he definitely has colorful speech. fact is, he's a hall of famer, and everyone just accepts that is who he is. and he doesn't like crying. kids aren't even allowed to cry at practice.
the one nationally ranked girl at our gym comes in the morning before school, then again after school. a few other girls do a morning workout a few days a week, but it is pretty uncommon at our gym.
hi-
i've lurked for a while, but finally signed up for an account. i have two girls, aged 9 and 11. oldest competed 6 last season, younger competed 5 but trained 6. both are training lvl 7 now.
i will probably have more questions later... back to the lurk...
