daughter

My 11 year old daughter is just starting her level 9 meet season and is struggling . She had her first meet this past weekend and only scored a 29 AA. Her coach says she will be ok and just has to gain experience and will get better . There are 4 young 9s at our gym ( mine is the youngest ...

Ugh. My DD, getting ready to compete the new L6, broke her hand doing ROBHS on the tumble track. The crack/snap was heard by everyone within 20 feet. She just placed her hand wrong. She has a rotational fracture of her 3rd metacarpal, her finger is kind of pointing in the wrong direction. A...

My 11 year old got her overshoot today !! It's a work in progress but I'm soooo proud of her !! She's getting closer n closer to being ready for level 9 !!

My 10 year old daughter is training level 9 , she has been doing fulls on the floor since last season and also has her 1 1/2 and double full recently . All of the sudden , she can only do a 1 1/2 and gets confused in the air for a full and double full . She is so frustrated about it and has...

My 12 year old second year L9 daughter wants to do a 75 mile bike race this weekend. I already said no when this came up a month ago and many times after that. Unfortunately, her dad says she can do it. She did the race two years ago and finished over 6 hours later. I don't recall it causing...

Be prepared....long story! My dd is almost 10 and is currently a level 4. She is currently at a gym that focuses on the girls competing and potentially getting scholarships. They also have TOPs with a handful of girls making it to the national testing. We switched to this gym about a year...

My daugther's coach died in a car accident on Thursday. We just found out last night. My dauther is devastated. She was up most of the night crying and saying she doesn't know what to do with her life. She loves him - we love him!! I don't have to tell this group how strong/important that...

My 10 yr old daughter has been in gymnastics since 5 yrs old. She quickly showed a talent for it and progressed very quickly, joining the team and started competing in 1st grade. We are not in the US so the system is very different. She loved it and couldn't get to the gym fast enough! She has...

This is my first time posting, so I'm not sure if I'm doing this correctly. In the spring my daughter's team had 11 girls competing old level 4. 6 of the girls competed in the fall also. My daughter was one of the 5 new girls that the 3 spring meets were their first meets. My daughter just...

My dd started at a gym, and went there for 3 yrs, all the way up until she got an invite to the team. Last summer, she attended their "team camp" when she was on pre-team, and it was the best part of her summer. She loved every minute, it was high energy, a lot of fun, very positive...

HI, I have posted before about this struggle but each meet this season has gotten progressively worse. My DD is 8 and this is her first season to compete. She had some sort of mental block coming off of CHristmas break and went from doing level 6 tumbling skills to barely being able to do level...

:) Just needed a place to brag where people understand... My 6 yo DD got her kip today! I wasn't expecting her to get it so quickly - she only started working them a few weeks ago (and it took her older sister almost a full year to get the kip). She also got her ROBHSBHS today. For the...

I just stumbled on this website and forum, so bear with me if I am not posting correctly. My wife and I are desparately looking for help for our daughter, a gymnast for 10 years. For the last 4 years, she has battled a recurring groin issue. Its not a simple groin muscle pull. I have had...

Maybe it's just me, but coaching my own DD is very frustrating. Has anyone else coached their own? Any tips to make it a little easier? I'm just tired of the attitude and lack of effort she gives me. Talk about complaining.....it's all I hear. Help!! Sent from my ZTE N9120 using ChalkBucket...

I have gone back and read a lot of the old threads about vestibular issues and how they relate to gymnastics. Now I have some questions that I hope someone here (maybe coaches) can answer. My daughter is profoundly deaf. When she was 6 she got her 2nd cochlear implant. As part of the...

Hi Coaches.. my daughter started her back tumbling fear in level 6 with the ro bhs btuck. She can do it, but at times will have her mental block take over and will chicken out. Her front tumbling is great. Its fast and fearless. She completed level 6 and wanted to move to level 7, but her gym...

My daughter did an open gym this weekend and she is hitting her low bar kip and jump to high bar kip 90%+. She proudly explained to me that she has all of her skills. Teasing her, I said, "Congratulations, sweetie! You have all of the skills you need- to repeat Level 4!" She scrunched her face...

Hi everyone! My 5 y.o. daughter who is very active:p developed a love of gymnastics about a year ago. We are at the gym my younger sister competed at. It is a smaller, fairly laid back gym. We are actually pretty attached to her two coaches (very sweet girls). They have both indicated that...

Hello, I'm here looking for some advice. My DD just turned 6 (2 weeks ago) and is in level 1 gymnastics. She's been in gymnastics since age 2 and always seemed to love it. Last night she told DH and I that she wants to quit. She's been sick on and off for the past month, and her gym was...

I don't usually post pics, but this one was too good to ignore. In the actual pic that I bought from the meet photographer, you can see the beam. It's about as far from the bottom of this picture as her feet are in the other direction. I cut it out because it has the meet info on it and I prefer...
