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.

Three Days to CO USAG State Championship for Level 5

Today is one of those days that I would like to go back  to life before Gymnastics.  Emily's doing just fine.  She's working her bar and vault routines and is still working to improve her Beam and Floor routines. The rotation schedule is out, and Emily's on Squad A.  The only thing that may bug her is that she starts the rotation on Beam.  I will pray for Emily to calmly perform her beam routine.

I really can't wait until Level 5 is past us. Between growing pains at the Gym, and the strain of my business - I am really ready for a break away from all of this.  White sandy beaches, warm water and a drink with a little umbrella is what I dream of every time I gaze out into the snow.
