Parenting a Gymnast--a guide for parents to support the dreams and realities of their young athletes.
Gymnastics is a wonderful sport, but most parents don't know where to begin. More importantly, they don't know how to keep their children safe and to help them progress in the sport. Parenting a Gymnast is a book for parents that will answer all their questions and help them make intelligent, informed decisions. It is a must read for aspiring gymnasts and their parents.
The proof is in the pudding...gymnastics was revolutionized at the 1972 Munich Olympics by an unknown gymnast. Who knows what the future holds? Reading this book is a great start. (Olga Korbut, four-time Olympic gold medalist)
Parenting a Gymnast is a great overview of the sport of gymnastics. As a child, I fell in love with the movement of gymnastics and the fun of doing cartwheels and somersaults long before I ever thought about competition. When I did show an aptitude for the sport, it was a whirlwind of fast learning for my mom. This book breaks down the basics and provides a realistic guideline for newcomers. (Missy Marlowe, 1988 US Olympian, five-time NCAA champion)
