So, I was thinking today. For the most part, I am happy with Beetle's gym. But if I could change just one or two things what would they be?
1. More variety in Optional skills. It seems that all our gymnasts train the same skills, Vault 1 year of Tsuks, then Yurchenkos. Beam, BHS then BHS BHS then BHS BLO, not FHS, FWO, Ariels etc. Bars, Kips, Giants, Shootovers, Pirouettes no straddlebacks or those cool all around the bars in a straddle (whatever they are called. And floor - Twists, doublebacks, Front through to LO/Twist. etc. No Whips or variety.
2. Consistency but with understanding. Rules change from day to day or year to year. But then there bending or adjusting the rules. If someone is hurt they are either 100% in or they are out.. No Bars only for instance. Or you compete all 4 events or you dont compete at all.
3. (My post - I get 3 LOL) I wish we had something other than USAG. With Beetle's struggles right now with Beam and her breakthrough on vault. I wish she could uptrain Vault and Floor and just work through beam.
What one or two things would make the difference in your gym life?
