coach

My DDs coach sometimes gives them scores when they practice routines during practice. Is this often done and is it accurate for scores during competition season?

For me I look for experience, enthusiasm, a strong work ethic and adaptability so they don't have a one size fits all approach to gymnasts. I like a very even tempered coach. I've seen highly excitable coaches who will punch the air or hug a gymnast, jump up and down when a kid gets a skill- but...

Hello, all! I have been working on a project over the last few months to build a replay system for use in gyms, with lots of extra features (freeze frame and automatic hold timer are the big ones). Originally, I'd planned to sell this system to gyms. HOWEVER, given current events I'm guessing...

Hi. Looking for opinions. Son's coach does not seem to like him. We brought this up twice last year with gym manager. He gets angry, walks away when son messes up a skill, makes sarcastic comments, ignores him for rest of session. Son has gotten great results at comps so far. We have been...

I have been working with all age groups in gymnastics as a gymnastics coach for a little over 15 years. I mostly work with toddlers & other younger children. Those are the ages that I feel I do the best with since I am great with kids. I think they see me as a big kid, not only because I am a...

Hi, Our gym s handbook says we can bring in our own coach for privates . Does anyone know where to find coaches for that? We lost the women's Optionals coach over the summer and still don't have one. The boys coaches that have never coached women before have been filled been filling and it is...

So, my daughter has been struggling here and there with mental block on double bhs back tucks. At the beginning of the season we got a new coach. Her old coaches (who are still at the gym) would spit if they felt it was really necessary, but tried other options first so that the girls didn’t...

My DD is a very promising gymnast & is on the to youngest elite team in the gym. She was the best & had the best results in her age group, works so hard but another child has passed her out & the coach is spending much more time with this child... My child is not a very natural gymnast & has...

Hello. I am new here on chalk bucket. I love gymnastics. I am an adult gymnast that started gymnastics incredibly late (Unfortunately) but I am happy to at least be training/competing WAG level 6 in Australia at the moment. I also coach a bit of recreation gymnastics. I love gymnastics but feel...

Hi, I do floor and vault gymnastics twice a week with 3 and a half hours in total and i have a general gymnastics comp coming up soon. I used to do Artistic gymnastics at a different gym, and comps were more regular then these floor and vault ones, but i was about 9 when i did these and my...

About 6 months ago my group had received a new coach. Since then the parents and athletes have raised many concerns about this coach. Some of the main concerns were: - Favoritism toward the higher level athletes - Yelling and screaming at athletes if they fall or are scared of something - Using...

Hi, I'm new to Chalkbucket! My name's Katie and I'm 15 years old. I started reading Chalkbucket a while ago, but I didn't make an account until now. I am also a coach for our gym. I work mostly with the younger levels (1-3, bronze-silver) but I also coach open gyms and family gym times (same...

I’d been coaching at a club for roughly 7 years when they ‘fired’ me. Using the word fired lightly- manager and other older coaching staff disliked me. Manager was supposed to mentor me, but would bully me all the time- to the point all coaches & gymnasts knew she had the thing against me, and...

Just wondering your thoughts on this matter. Currently, the coach’s case is still pending and has a pre-trial hearing on the 18th of this month. The athlete’s case had its last hearing on Feb 11 resulting in a court order of Nolle Prosequi. Nolle Prosequi is latin for “we shall will not...

My daughter fell on her double BHS and is now struggling with it, again. She previously lost it about 1 1/2 years ago but gained it back through persistence. She also recently lost her BWO on beam due to a fall. Can a coach switch up routines during competition season to lighten the pressure...

We have an xcel head coach and an asst coach. levels are XB XS and XG. Xcel coaches do not coach JO teams. Our xcel teams are quite good. Successful in meets, hard workers. at a recent meet the head coach just didnt show up. It was clear the asst coach expected him bc she was scanning the...
