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.

Emmy's Party today in school

Today Emily and I brought doughnuts and drinks up to her homeroom class to celebrate her Las Vegas win.  She's actually been bullied by the "click" girls in school.  They are green-eyed that Emily's doing gymnastics and they're not I guess.  In any event, you catch more flies with sugar...  Her teacher expressed an interest in watching her next event.  I told him it was in Colorado Springs.  He seems game to travel that far.  That would be sweet if we had people from her elementary school there too. Maybe I can talk my sisters into actually watching one of her last two meets at this level.


I think the trip finally got to Emmy.  As I type this she's snoozing on the couch behind me. Training for the upcoming meet in February begins tomorrow, so tonight we will both rest.
