    WAG Kim Zmeskal-Burdette gets called out ( #gymnastalliance )

    Nope. Absolutely not! As a former gymnast, coach, and parent to gymnasts… this is NOT normal, and def not ok! There has never and will never be a time where it is normal or appropriate to push intensity to the level that you need to throw up! Gymnastics is all about PROGRESSIONS. absolutely push...

    WAG Kim Zmeskal-Burdette gets called out ( #gymnastalliance )

    Ragan was trained in Georgia at several really good gyms for the majority of her life. Ragan did not move to Texas until 2013 when she was 13.

    Parents Xcel Bronze Training Schedule (hours)

    Absolutely! As a coach… I don’t know how on earth these programs are able to practice on four events, strength, AND flexibility in order to compete… and maintain skills?! And then even more to gain NEW SKILLS and make sufficient progress in order to move up? 4 hours a week is blowing my mind!

As a mom AND competative coach in the US, this is just so gross🥺 on top of missing so many talented children, starting babies that young and PUSHING them hard thru the system often ends in a lot of burnt out gymnasts!

    Parents Optionals level coach doesn’t believe in spotting - red flag?

While yes, drilling skills breaks down the skill into small pieces that we should then be able to put together and...
