Gym Mom Book Review

Title: Gym Mom: The Twists and Turns of Your Daughter's Gymnastics Career

Author: Rita Wieber

Price: $19.95

Overall rating: 4 out of 5 stars

It could simply be called the beginners guide to gymnastics. "Gym Mom" is filled with stories of Jordyn's childhood and useful information for parents of gymnasts. This book covers many topics including, recreational vs. competitive gymnastics, the cost of gymnastics, dealing with injuries, and finding balance in life as an elite gymnast. The book starts out taking you through Jordyn's journey in gymnastics, from recreational to World Champion, showing personal photos (in black and white) along the way. Rita shares her advice on how to select a good gym, how to keep your gymnast healthy, and when to retire from gymnastics. (And much much more!) "Gym Mom" also features interviews with experts such as national team physician, Larry Nassar and UCLA head coach, Valorie Kondos Field. I thought the book was interesting and I liked that the information was coming from a reliable source. I also like that with each piece of advice or information, Rita shares how it worked for Jordyn and tells little stories along the way. I think it's great that people can possibly relate to the Wieber family. I would recommend this book to any parent who has a child that is a gymnast or the average gym fan that loves to read anything gymnastics related! "Gym Mom" is also a great read if you just want to learn a thing or two about gymnastics! This book is very well put together for Rita' first book and I enjoyed reading it! If you have read "Gym Mom" too, let us know what you thought below! 

Gym Mom will be sold at all of the Tour Of Gymnastics Champion stops!
