book

So, pretty regularly I get an email advertisement for Karen Goeler's Handstand Book. I have gone as far as to put it in my "cart" but have never actually ordered it. Does anyone have any first hand experience with this book? Is it something my daughter would enjoy, say, getting in her...

Not her biography that's coming/came out recently I just got chapter books by Dominique at Sams. They had them in packs of 2. About $7.50 per pack. They are written/geared towards the tweeny/early teen level. But if they are good readers..they can handle it at a younger age. (Kadee will be 7...

There is something I'd like to bring up, though I'm worried I can't because it does involve weight. But I don't want to talk about weight really. There is a part in the book when Shawn was on Dancing With the Stars and she was upset about her weight gain. One of the things she spoke about was...

I've seen stick it, make it or break it, reach for the sky, and Nadia Comanechi's movie. I really liked Nadia and reach for the sky. What's your favorite gymnastics movie, show, or book? How many have you seen/read?

Haven't posted in awhile, curious if you guys can help me out. My daughter wants a copy of what she calls "the book"....the book that all the coaches pull out and study to see if she is doing the routines exactly the way they should be done. She also wanted me to find out if there is a series...

Hi everyone. I just came across this on the USA Olympics app that I have and wanted to share. I found out that Jordyn Wieber's mom wrote a new book called Gym Mom and has a website with a blog: Gym Mom - Home I just pre-ordered the book and you can spend an additional $5 to get it personally...

DD got her cast to handstand tonight, which means she has accomplished all 4 goals she set for herself at the new year to accomplish by her birthday, July 1st. She got the bwo on beam 1st, followed by ro bhs back tuck, followed by front tuck, and now the cast handstand! Super excited for my...

PB is a huge reader, but I've had some trouble finding books that weren't too "old" for her. The McKenna books are borderline too much for her (more, I think it just looks intimidating to her). Plus, I think it might be hard for her to relate to a 4th grader (PB is in Kindergarten, just a very...

Out now, Not sure whether they are available in US, but I'm sure there are ways and means of getting your hands on them! They say suitable for age 8+ but I guess that is just the reading level. I assume the story lines are suitable for younger children! You can read part of the first chapter...

I know next to nothing about the sport in general, to be honest. I usually just ask DD was a skill is called, or whatever, but I figure I should try to learn a little bit about... stuff. So is there some sort of manual maybe, or a "Gymnastics for Dumb Parents" book? At this point, I don't even...

When it comes to gymnastics, I'm sort of ignorant. I don't understand a lot of the lingo, and, for the life of me, I don't understand what the judges are looking for. I have picked up some of it, but not nearly enough. Is there a good "idiots guide" to gymnastics? Starting from lower levels...

something that MaryA said about how a normal mom turned into a crazy gym mom made me think about a friend of ours and how sometimes things do spin. To make a very long story short, we have a friend who left our gym about 2 years ago and is at another gym. She is 12 and a level 7 and does...

Hi! I hope this is the right place for this. If it's not, I'm sorry. I'm editing a book at the moment and have a scene that needs a little more filling out. My character was a gymnast in her teens. (She's twenty-eight when the book takes place.) She still dabbles in gymnastics as a hobby...

Not many boys on here..but thought i would try :) D jsut finished another meet (level5). He had a rough start! 13.3 on vault...not his best. He pulled it together for 14.7s on Parallel bars and high bar, 15.3 on floor, 14.8 on pommel and 15.1 on Rings. He finished first in the all around...

DD had her first Gold meet today and she did wonderful. so proud of her. she had two worries going into the meet. one, getting over the vault table. two, she wouldn't have floor music (last practice the cd was acting screwy in the computer & saying file not found). I assured her that she would...

Hi All :) I'm mom to 3 gymnasts - level 6, 3 and 1. We're from Cape Town, South Africa. My DD's are gymnastics crazy, but unfortunately there are very few books etc available for them to read that are specific to gymnastics. Does anyone have any suggestions for me on the best books to order for...

BG has this posted on their website - thought it might be intersting Downloads | Results | Women's Artistic | Disciplines hope you can see it 'Margo

Hi all, My middle daughter is a Dev. 5 gymnast who is looking forward to competing in her first upcoming season. Jaden is not a great reader, and we have had a difficult time finding books that hold her interest. I recently found the "The little Gymnast" by Sheila Haigh, and we have been...

Hello all, Any one (coaches or parents in particular) have any good recommendations on child development/psychology books? Any inspirational books about teaching children too? I am thinking if I educate myself more on child development, I can use some of that knowledge in coaching. I am...

Kathy's picture disk from Level 5 States finally came and I was thinking about making one of those photo books out of some of the pictures. I just spent about an hour fighting with one on shutterfly and finally got annoyed enough to just exit out of it without saving it (may live to regret...
