I am hoping that someone with a lot more gymnastics experience can help me out with this. DD had a 5th metatarsal avulsion fracture last fall and it failed to heal after 8 weeks so she had surgery and they inserted a screw. It finally healed. The Doctor know wants us to consider taking it...
DD is the same way. Coach always asks her questions about elite gymnastics since he knows that she knows the answers. She knows the JO code better then the coaches. The coach keeps telling her that her turn on floor is a B even though DD knows that it is a D. Also DD has a D skills on beam...
She is pretty obsessed with eating healthy. She eats a big breakfast everyday but eats only small portions at other meals. She makes sure she gets protein before and after practice and eats lots calcium.
So DD is out with her 2nd broken bone in less then a year. I have had 2 medical people recently mention to me female triad and so doing some research it could fit but I don't want to jump to any conclusions. I mean broken bones do happen in gymnastics and it sounds like its fairly common for...
Glad to know there are some other majors that would be good options. She is not super great at, or a big fan of math and science. But she does love practical science applications to her sport. I am glad to is motivated to do college gym or getting her excited about college would be a struggle
Thanks for all the advice. She is definitely leaning toward kinesiology or exercise physiology. She was surprised that it wasn't as common of a major as she expected it to be. You guys have given her a couple of other thoughts. I don't think it would be too hard to convince her to make every...
I have been catching up this week on Worlds. I keep seing this women in all the women team broadcasts. It is an older women with short brown hair. She is dressed in USA warm up but I can't figure out what her role is. Anybody have any insight?
DD is starting to think a lot about college and where she wants to go. We did some research this weekend and of course the school that she has wanted to attend for their gymnastics program doesn't have the major she was thinking about. So that got us looking a several other schools with good...
DD is having back problems due to tight muscles and some imbalances in her back. She is currently in PT. Saw this product and wondered if anyone had any experience with it.https://elitesportzband.com/
I did the can in the crotch for DDs leo too. Do it while its wet. It does work. Once DD had a tank leo that was too tight under the armpit so I pulled the straps up my thighs which are so much bigger then her arm and wore it around the house for several days. DD then was able to wear the leo.
We are dealing with the same issue. Tried to move this summer but it didn't work out. Daughter is upset that we couldn't make a move but understands that we tried. We also have the same concerns as you do. I feel bad for my DD. If she was an adult she could move on her own but because she...
Several years ago Norcal put it up for a vote to move to R2. It would certainly be in their advantage to do so but they didn't want to move to R2. Why?
DD is very strong and loves to condition. She is always challenging herself by trying to increase her numbers. Some of her current numbers are 100 v ups and 83 dips on parallel bars. Then last weeks she decided to add a weight vest to some of her conditioning. Of courses the number or reps...
