My dd just finished her first year of Level 8. She had a big disappointment at State and did not make regionals. She might be an alternate. I know nothing can be done about it and judges are looking for different things but is there anyone I can PM Her floor video to to look at and tell me what...
So glad to see that things are coming together for dd. Full is doing great after finally figuring the twisting out, landed front handspring, front layout, front tuck on floor for the 1st time this week, beam is great, finally figuring out the flipping of vault. Now we just need a clearhip to...
Might not be the right thing to ask but my dd entered a facebook contest and really wants to win it. If you have facebook go to the USA gymnastics facebook page and go to the color your leo contest. Hers is titled Fight For the Cure. PLEASE VOTE.
Today as I was driving I pulled behind a car and for some reason at the stoplight I looked at its license plate, I could not stop laughing and probably looked crazy cause the plate was 911 CGM and my first thought was Help Crazy Gym Mom:)
I find it amazing the difference a month can make in a child and the difference that being done with competition stress can make. My dd has went from being stressed out and scared of skills, to conquering those fears and even performing bigger skills. She came out of gym last night so happy...
So proud of dd, she went from an injury to start her season to saving the best meet for last. She was solid last night and in a very tough age group. Level 7 Vault 9.4, Bars 9.225 8th place, Beam 9.225 8th place, Floor 9.325 10th place and an AA of 37.175 9th place. Her team of 5 girls took...
Well dd had a successful weekend, she made a full bar routine and finally put her backhandspring series back on the beam in competition(she fell but all I care about is that she went for it since that was the skill she was doing when she fractured her hand). Now we just need to do some clean...
Well the Giant Fairies worked but guess I should have also asked for clear hip fairies as she fell on that. Great meet otherwise. Winning beam and taking 3rd on floor. All we asked was that she gave it her all and we were pleased that the giants got made. It can only get better from here as...
So very proud to report that my dd did an excellent job this weekend, she scratched bars, got 2nd on beam(9.325) and 3rd on floor(9.375) and an 8.6 on vault. she was so happy with her scores especially since we did not think she was even going to compete at this meet coming off the injury...
We had her Intra-squad meet last Saturday and she has a good start, vault was rough for some reason but she has only been back to vaulting for a couple of weeks, beam was good with the bwo-bwo she is working hard on getting the bhs back, finally did it on high beam again with stacked mats and a...
Well finally 8 weeks later we have been given the all clear. She has 3 events ready to go and gets to compete those at the Intersquad meet at her gym this weekend. Still missing is bhs on beam but she is substituting bwo-bwo for now, she is working on low beam(carpet beam) on getting bhs...
Well last night she finally tumbled on the real floor and looked really pretty good, landing her fhs-ft on her butt part of the time, she is scared of the bhs on beam of course cause that is what she was doing when she got injured she has not attempted them yet. She also was finally able to kip...
Well dd(Level 7)has been back to her slow start since her fractured 4th metacarpal for 1 1/2 weeks now, she is getting there. Bars is the big struggle though, scared to do anything because of her grip strength and forearm strength being decreased. Coach gave her some exercises to do with just...
Well my dd is floating on cloud 9, we got clearance to start a slow return to activity with the use of her hand, starting with bars which is her favorite event and slowly adding 1 event per week. Bars and Beam first the floor then vault last.
Well we are almost there. Tomorrow morning dd gets her cast off from the fractured hand. i thought we would never make it this has been the longest 4 weeks ever. I will update tomorrow after we see the doc, last time they said a splint for a couple of weeks. Any experience here on what most...
My dd had her first major gymnastics injury today doing her backhandspring series on the beam. She fractured her hand, we will see an orthopedic doc on Mon. but need healing faries. She is worried about the upcoming season.
My dd just finished up her Level 6 season in March and is now working on Level 7 skills. She is super flexible and has an issue with her legs on her backhandspring stepout on beam. She can do a 2 foot backhandspring and land it on a high beam fine, but has the leg issue on stepout. Her coach...
