struggling

Are doing fulls a common struggle for most gymnasts in L8? My daughter is on and off on this skill. Luckily, she can perform a lot of other B skills to compensate for the full. She does whipbacks and double saltos, etc. But is struggling with the fulls. Funny last year, testing for TOPs...

My DD has been diagnosed with ADHD for about 3 years now. She just started doing Gymnastics about 1 ½ years now. She is 9yo and has progressed rather quickly. She competed as a L4 last year successfully and is now learning her L5 routines. Summer practices are in the morning so she was able to...

My duaghter really wants to make the level 4 team next summer and tryouts are in June. Based on where she is at and who made the team last year I figured she would probalby make the team. I was talking to her coach today and she told me that they are going to have a ton of kids trying out this...

My dd has been struggling with bars this year, and it has kept her from being able to move up. She has become more and more frustrated throughout the year. She also doesn't like the way her coach talks to her and feels like the coach can't stand her. She broke down and cried for quite a while...
