The care and training of a young gymnast

I wish I had started this blog a while back. At that time I had no clue my youngest daughter would have the drive to be a gymnast. I just knew I couldn't contain her energy and needed an outlet for it's release. Hopefully this blog will be helpful to others that have a kid interested in gymnastics.

As I am a single disabled parent, money's been tight and this sport is not cheap. The commitment of financial resources, time and energy for the parent can be as demanding as the physical demands placed on the athelete.

This blog is created for all the unsung heroes behind that future medalist, the parent.

Emily's finally back in the gym...

Well, starting last week Emily's been back in the gym conditioning. It's been a long time off and a long time healing from Osgood-Schlotter's Disease.  Her knee is still sore, but she couldn't wait to get back into the gym. I don't think I want her out there 5 days a week again.  She's got to use those legs her whole life.  Long after her gymnastics career.   She's still got 4 more weeks before she's cleared for full practices.  We'll see how it goes.  There's always next year.  Right now she's taking it easy at Highland Hills Gymnastics.
