Missy Marlowe, 1988 US Olympian, five-time NCAA champion shares, “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.”
