    WAG Is anybody else tired of wolf turns?

    I think they are only attractive when done perfectly in a routine where they flow with the other elements and the gymnast is able to do it without too much hesitation, and not many can do that.

    Parents "gymnastics makes me too tired"

    DH and I joke around that our 4.5 year old DD is a bit on the lazy side. Saturday morning when I told her that it was time to get ready for gymnastics she said "I don't like my new gymnastics class, it is too tiring." I smiled but I managed to hold back the raucous laughter that I felt trying...

    Coaches Tired of Parents complaining ...

    :eek:I get tired of parents complaining about every little thing. Parents tend to want you to coach like they parent. If I did that, then their kid would not learn anything. It seems to me that parents pacify kids way to much now a days ... to the point where kids can't even make corrections...

    VENT! I hope it's possible to feel this way and still have a successful long-term gymnast. I tired of the expense, time, frustrations... tired of that sinking feeling when DD is not invited to join a certain group, hurt, or having to tell coach she will miss practice because of XYZ. I'm...

    Parents Tired and grumpy vs wide awake!

    I'm guessing that most of us here are parents of at least one very high-energy kid. As most of you know, my girls are twins, and from day 1 Kathy has needed less sleep than her sister, and has been slower to fall asleep too. As most of you also know, Kathy recently switched gyms and doubled her...

    So, this post may be an overdose of my personality, sorry it's long. I'm pretty amped still after the shenanigans of tonight. More so because it's been building over time. No matter how directly I identify and then (try to) solve a problem, it's just never fixed. I have explaining to do...
