Download or read book Parent's Guide written by Deborah Sevilla and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-03-23 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Deborah Sevilla, creator of the Dream Believe Achieve Athletic sport-specific journals and scorebooks, has reached out to help parents ease into the world of competitive gymnastics. This helpful guide was created with the help of coaches from different gyms, judges, sports psychologists, and fellow gym parents from around the world.When Deborah's own daughter entered into the world of competitive gymnastics, she found it exciting, overwhelming, as well as confusing. No one tells you what is going on, what is normal, and what is expected at the gym, at practice, at meets. Years later as an employee of her daughter's gym, the questions she had back then are the same questions she is asked over and over by parents new to gymnastics. While working meets, Deborah also heard the same questions coming from other gyms and the parents of their gymnasts.Many gyms write and distribute their own policy handbooks to new parents. These handbooks are gym-specific, and offer helpful information regarding tuition, late fees, and practice hours, but fail to explain much of anything else. Parents always wonder whether their gym's policies are the norm or unreasonable. Questions always arise regarding preparation for practices and meets, parental involvement during practices, and proper etiquette at meets.This guide is loaded with valuable information to answer your questions that are not answered in your gym's policy handbook. You will also find a glossary of gymnastics terms to help decipher “gymnast-speak”, as well as forms for you to complete with your own gym's information, contacts, and other important information you need to know. All of this is easily accessible and kept together in this guide.TABLE OF CONTENTSINTROBEFORE TEAMCONGRATULATIONS! • The Decision: Know what you're getting into. • Age: How old is too old or too young?• Expenses • Fundraising / Booster Clubs / Parent Associations• Welcome to the teamTEAM PRACTICE • Practice• Attire • Long hours• Homework / Home schooling• Eat, Sleep, Gymnastics: Finding Balance• Carpool 101MEET BASICS • Duration• Venues• Admission• Concession• Cameras • Photographers• Parking• Changing facilities• Equipment• Siblings • Meet SchedulesCOMPETITION TIME • Getting Ready• In the bagAT THE MEET• Meet Etiquette• What's Going On?• Scoring• Awards• JudgesKNOW YOUR PLACE • Your support role / not coach or judge• Are you a Crazy Gym Parent? –Quiz • According to your peers• Bribes vs Awards• Being Supportive• Stages of gym parents PROBLEMS • Conflicts with coaches, parents and teammates• Abuse or Motivation TAKING CARE OF YOUR GYMNAST • At Home Stretching / Conditioning• Nutrition / Overall Health • Rips• InjuriesMENTAL HEALTH• The dreaded mental block• Gymnast Nerves / Psyched out• Spectator NervesEXPECTATIONS VS GOALS • Over confidence• Goals • Olympic Bound?GYMNASTICS ORGANIZATIONS • Pre team / Prep team / Mini team• USAG, USAIGC & Xcel • Junior High, High School, CollegeIN THE KNOW . . . • What your coach wants you to know• What the judge wants you to knowGREAT WEB PAGES AND RESOURCES GLOSSARY OF TERMS WORKBOOK PAGES• My Gym My TeamCONTACTS SAMPLE SCOREBOOK PAGE

Book excerpt: The true story of the 1986 U.S. National Gymnastics champion whose lifelong dream was to compete in the Olympics, until anorexia, injuries, and coaching abuses nearly destroyed her Fanciful dreams of gold medals and Nadia Comaneci led Jennifer Sey to become a gymnast at the age of six. She was a natural at the sport, and her early success propelled her family to sacrifice everything to help her become, by age eleven, one of America’s elite,competing at prestigious events worldwide alongside such future gymnastics’ luminaries as Mary Lou Retton. But as she set her sights higher and higher—the senior national team, the World Championships, the 1988 Olympics—Sey began to change, putting her needs, her health, and her well-being aside in the name of winning. And the adults in her life refused to notice her downward spiral. In Chalked Up Sey reveals the tarnish behind her gold medals. A powerful portrait of intensity and drive, eating disorders and stage parents, abusive coaches and manipulative businessmen, denial and the seduction of success, it is the story of a young girl whose dreams would become eclipsed by the adults around her. As she recounts her experiences, Sey sheds light on the destructiveness of our winning-is-everything culture where underage and underweight girls are celebrated and on the need for balance in children’s lives.

Download or read book It's Not About Perfect written by Shannon Miller and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2015-04-21 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's Not About Perfect is inspirational memoir of the most decorated gymnast in American history, her recovery from cancer, and her miracle pregnancy. "When the odds were against me, I was always at my best." When she retired at age 19, Shannon Miller did so as one of the most recognizable gymnasts in the country. The winner of seven Olympic medals and the most decorated gymnast, male or female, in U.S. history, Shannon tells a story of surviving and thriving. A shy, rambunctious girl raised in Oklahoma, Shannon fell in love with gymnastics at a young age and fought her way to the top. In 1992 she won five Olympic medals after breaking her elbow in a training accident just months prior to the Games. Then, in 1996, a doctor advised her to retire immediately or face dire consequences if she chose to compete on her injured wrist. Undeterred, Shannon endured the pain and led her team, the "Magnificent Seven," to the first Olympic team gold medal for the United States in gymnastics. She followed up as the first American to win gold on the balance beam. Equally intense, heroic and gratifying is the story of her brutal but successful battle with ovarian cancer, a disease from which fewer than fifty percent survive. Relying on her faith and hard-learned perseverance, Shannon battled through surgery and major chemotherapy to emerge on the other side with a miracle baby girl. Her story of trial, triumph and life after cancer reminds us all that its life's bumps and bruises that reveal our character. From early on in her career, Shannon knew that life wasn't about perfection. In this incredible and inspirational tale, Shannon speaks out so as to be seen and heard by thousands as a beacon of hope.
