I currently have a hamstring injury and was told by my sports doctor to purchase compression shorts to wear while I am at practice. Does anyone have any recommendations as to where I could buy them? Thank you! :)

Yesterday at practice I got two blisters... I feel like I'm falling apart. :D Anyway, I don't know what to do about them. One is close to popping and the other is on its way. Should I pop them (like, with a needle) or just let them pop? Any advice?

I was just wondering this, and as well wondering if anyone knows any information regarding this. :)

Today at practice, a few teammates were arguing over something, and it just got worse and worse. One of my teammates brought me by mimicking me. I was cheering her on while we were working on beam skills, and she started mocking me. I'm not trying not to sound like a complainer (I'm not), but I...

At a recent gymnastics practice, I received 4 severe rope burns. Throughout the entire practice, they hurt terribly. I understand that this is normal, but I'm wondering how I should be treating them in my off time. I am currently putting neosporin on them in the morning/right before I go to...

Recently I have been considering starting dance to help my leaps and dance skills at the gym... But I don't know if I should start or not. Do you think I should? Sorry if this is unclear. :)

I have been in gymnastics for a while now, but it have never fully understood the difference between the USAG and USAIGC programs. Also, can someone in USAIGC make nationals or the Olympics? :) sorry if this is unclear.

Every time I go to practice, my hair falls out of my chosen style within an hour. I usually put it in a bun or a ponytail, but my hair is very long, so I can't put my hair in the typical gymnastics style. I have tried braids as well, but my hair is so long that if I'm on bars it will slap me in...

So today at practice, my new GKelite leotard started color bleeding onto my skin... It was very strange. I use natural deodorant and I don't sweat a lot, also that the leotard has been washed very well since it came in it's package. I have a lot of gkelite leotards and I haven't seen this...

Lately I have been having trouble with my cartwheel on beam. I have been practicing on a low beam with panel mats on either side but I just can't seem to get it. I have a good cartwheel on the floor, as well as on a line, but I don't know what I'm doing wrong. When I start doing the cartwheel, i...
