    Terrible coaching or not?

    I just thought I would give an update. My daughter did end up leaving. Her last practice was her last straw, she cleaned out her cubbie that they keep their things in, and told me in the car what happened at practice.

    Terrible coaching or not?

    You just described the situation perfectly. She has done probably 200 or more backwalkovers on the high beam. Was doing great, and then just would not do them anymore. You have great insight and great advice. THANK YOU!

    Terrible coaching or not?

    This is the only gym for a 100 miles. She loves this sport and is really good at it. But you are right I tried to talk to them last night about it. I don't know if I have made it better or worse, this week will tell and may be her last one.

    Hand stands

    I am the mother of a level 5 gymnast. She has been having problems with her hand stand. She does them great on a low beam, but once she is about two feet or higher she can't get past a level 4 hand stand. She is a great little gymnast but she has this block. I just wondered if anyone knew...
