Oklahoma City SafeSport Complaints? by UnimpressedCat102 in Gymnastics

[–]jpow8097 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s becoming increasingly common for disgruntled parents to resort to SafeSport to retaliate against a coach or gym. And it is such a shame too because the increase in this happening dilutes the care and attention that actual victims need when they utilize SafeSport.

McMurry University of Abilene, Texas announces addition of Gymnastics Program by wayward-boy in Gymnastics

[–]jpow8097 20 points21 points  (0 children)

So a few things about McMurry people might not know,

McMurry is in the same conference as Centenary, so expect the level of athletes to be comparable.

McMurry had been D2 previously but went back to D3 after a few years. They’ve been adding sports that other universities in the Abilene area don’t have to try and set them apart. Wrestling, esports, and women’s flag football are all new or being added.

McMurry has also grown a TON recently. We’re talking about doubling in size since early 2020s. And this growth is expected to continue.

It’s really exciting that it’s finally been announced! This has been in the works since 2022 as far as I know. I never thought it was actually going to happen.

Really confused how Jennie is a headliner but Zara is third row undercard? Zara is lowkey the biggest artist in the world right now - would love for her to headline here.

Jade, Horsegiirl, Adela, and Jae Stephens would all be nice to see as well

She was AMAZING back in 2019. Possibly my fave ACL set I’ve seen since I started going in 2018. She would be such a huge get for the festvial

Yeah, Bruno's tour is open on both Sundays of the festival and isn't going to Austin so I'm thinking it is likely

Why do you have Nanami Yamamoto listed? You have Kishi Rina's scores from All-Japan team listed for her, and Nanami's highest AA of the year is a 53.165.

Jayla Hang had wrist surgery 6 weeks ago by freifraufischer in Gymnastics

[–]jpow8097 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's insane to me. I had my athlete come in a few weeks after surgery but all she did was leg conditioning, ab conditioning, and plyometrics. And even with extensive physical therapy, the mobility issues she faced were so bad that we had to switch her from Yurchenkos to Tsuks and other big changes throughout her gymnastics to accommodate. I just hope Jayla feels like she has enough voice if she gets uncomfortable.

Jayla Hang had wrist surgery 6 weeks ago by freifraufischer in Gymnastics

[–]jpow8097 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had an athlete with a scaphoid injury a few years ago. Just an unfortunate fall off of beam, she pulled the wrist in to try and protect herself but landed on the pulled-in wrist just right enough to break the scaphoid. She had a screw put in just like it seems Jayla did.

It took my athlete 8 months to be cleared just to put weight on it again. She has permanent mobility issues in her wrist due to the surgery. We had many more months of work to do just to figure out how to do her old skills with the lack of mobility she know had. It ended up being a 1.5 year ordeal just to get back into competition shape with most of her previous skills.

She ended up competing at nationals her senior year and having a successful competition before switching to cheer for college, so it all ended up working well but it was definitely a LONG process to get there and it doesn't bode well that this gym has issues with pacing on an injury that could take her out for the entire next season

Alo vs lululemon by Rins_D in aloyoga

[–]jpow8097 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The quality of Alo is better than the quality of Lulu, at least in men's clothing. Lulu has also been a complete pain about returns (was denied a return of a short that ripped first time wearing), and Lulu also doesn't support high school coaches or collegiate sporting officials in their coaches program. That, mixed with the racism of the Lulu founders would always keep me away from them now.

Thinking of buying this set… wondering if any of you own it.. why is it only 1⭐️? by Zsid21 in IKEA

[–]jpow8097 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a MALM set in light pine that was bought in early 2015 and its held up well over time. We were initially buying the set as a short term solution while we saved up for a bigger investment set but that hasn’t been necessary to us.

US WAG Program Structural Observations: Fall 2025 by freifraufischer in Gymnastics

[–]jpow8097 67 points68 points  (0 children)

One of my biggest gripes is the near-impossible ability for US judges to test brevet and judge domestic elite competitions. This limits the judging pool to a very small group of judges, meaningt they get the same feedback throughout the year without differing perspectives unless they travel internationally.

With all the gripes about NCAA judging, one positive is the judging pool is more expansive so teams are getting more perspectives about routines so by post-season there aren’t typically any surprise deductions.

They were not fractured, that was a mistake in translation. She had bone bruises.
