    Gymnasts Losing Things

    So I'm a retired gymnast but I'm trying to keep all the floor and bars skills I had as they'll come in handy while I transition into American Ninja Warrior training.

    Coaches Restarting Coaching, Being Tasked With Hard Topics

    So I'm restarting coaching now after we've moved and the xcel season is over. I've hit my first speed bump.

    WAG Any gymnasts with gastroparesis out there?

    I've lost 5lbs unintentionally in the last week alone. Haven't changed my eating or exercise habits. Also been ridiculously nauseous. My doctor is pretty certain I have gastroparesis and I was wondering if there is anyone else dealing with this. Any tips?

    WAG Go for Platinum or Quit?

    I am currently a 14yo Xcel Gold. I will turn 15 in a few months. I deal with some chronic illnesses, one of those being Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, which does cause frequent injuries. I am faced with the dilemma for next season. Realistically, I could probably go Platinum next season... beam might...
