I’m lucky in that my kid never had a block but she also was never a tumbling wunderkind at a young age. She progressed slowly in getting each new skill and was never pressured to throw something she wasn’t ready for, which is why I think she never had a block. She worked hard to get a double and...

I used to call it "battered cheer mom" syndrome. Even when people knew it was horrible, they would stay and make all kinds of excuses for how and why it was going to get better if they just gave it the chance.

I would have highlighted the last point first in regards to cheer.

So now what? Do you pull your kid? To actually put a policy on paper, have parents consent and then to blatantly disregard that policy seems like they could be opening themselves to a lawsuit if anyone gets sick. It’s worse to me than having no policy.

My daughter did HS purely for fun and to be part of a school team. Cheer in her school though is not anything prestigious or competitive. She was also lucky that she had a coach who excused her from one practice a week for her all star team, and knew she was only doing football season and not comp.

As a coach, you are not doing your best if something like this occurs while on your watch at a school sponsored cheer retreat. It is that simple. No one is trying to undercut you while you're doing your job, because at that moment you are 100% not doing your job. Regardless of the motivation...

My daughter's all star coach used to say "You can't coach tall." Embrace your height. Learn how to base and even eventually back. Best day for mine was when she learned to back on her junior team. She's still backing in college.

Stinks but not surprised. My son had applied to a 3 week engineering program at NC State starting mid-July. They canceled that early last week.

Stay safe and thank you for being a superhero. I’m in NY - it’s bad here and the numbers in our county keep going up.

What is the deduction for peeing on the mat?

When it was 14 and under, depending on your birth month, typically you were still on one in 9th and possibly even in 10th. Nothing new.

I don't know if I can take it. I have heard it is heartbreaking over and over and over.

Hello there! Definitely watch it, it is a good one.

In all fairness you will almost always see the smaller flyers on the college coed teams. The flyers on college all girl are usually not as small as the coed flyers. But likewise our girls are also not doing one (wo)mans throughout gameday and their routines.

I was hooked from the start. I can understand that though about the first ep, there are a ton of subtitles but I think that one has the most compared to the rest of the series. I am currently binging Mr. Robot which I never watched when it was on. I have heard good things about The Stranger.

I don't think there is anything you can do except pull your kid if you are so concerned, or if your season is over, don't let her try out again. The only thing you can focus on here is your daughter and you've certainly posted enough valid reasons to be justified in your concerns for her well being.

Anything to keep them in the game. They'd all be better off being legally allowed to smoke weed after games for the pain. Twenty years from now they are going to find out that all these pain relievers they injected into these players game after game causes some kind of cancer, and that too will...

Messiah was fantastic. There are parts where you may need the subtitles but that wasn't the majority. Am now watching Mr. Robot which I have been told several times to watch and it is amazing.

For 15 minutes anyways.

I loved Spinning Out. Cheer was fine, I'm still not sure why everyone is so excited by it. The Aaron Hernandez documentary was very well done and closely mirrored the podcast Gladiator which came out last year or 2018, but added a little more depth plus faces to the names. What else is on your...
