what was your most embarrassing/scariest moment during a meet? One time at a meet I was doing my beam dismount, and my foot slipped, but i stuck it!! that was scary!

About a couple weeks ago I bought new grips and I love them. The only problem is the grips finger holes are WAY to big. Now I have to be taping my fingers every time I go on bars or the grips wont stay on. I was looking online and I saw a bunch of things (on here too) about tying a rubber band...

Should i? I have been having HORRIBLE practices all month. I come home with headaches and im just in so much pain. Everything i do i fail and somehow manage to hurt something. I hate it and love it so much. I don't know what to do. Whenever someone looks at me im walking on my hands or doing...

I barely have any skin left on my hand. Its horrible. My rips literally don't heal. Today at practice, i couldn't hold on to the bar so i peeled off and landed head first, and it just gets me soo mad. My coach made me sit out. Do you know how frustrating it is when your doing your favorite...

So, a couple weeks ago I finally got my RO-BHS-halftwist. We had spring break for a whole week, AND the gym was closed for a week. :mad: But i still conditioned at home and all. But when we came back too the gym we went floor right after bars, and we warmed up on the tramp and I said "coach can...

Alright, my coach and I decided that I am going too get dowel grips! :D He recommended the reisport brand or the bailie, and I chose bailie :) My coach said it doesn't matter if i get buckle or velcro, and he told me the buckle is more secure, and the velcro is easier and quicker too put on but...

Okay, so first of all I am in xcel silver. Do you guys think I should buy a pair of dowel grips? no one on my team has them, but we all want them and we just don't know how our coaches would feel about them. My team and I all agree it would be a really good idea to start getting used to them...

First of all every pre-optional gymnast I know doesn't have this problem. So, I can point my toes, but it's just not natural. I told my coach and she told me that I have REALLY un-flexible ankles. I asked her if she had any stretches for me, and she told me to roll it around everyday but it's...

Am I the only one with this problem? I can't seem to hit the handstand! My coach gives me some drills, but they don't seem to work:confused:. okay, so the problem is my coach said I don't have enough power in my arms when I roll. I know it sounds confusing. But anyways If you have any...
