gymnastics? I am looking for a place where I can be trained in gymnastics- specifically tumbling. This place must be located in central arkansas~ really anywhere from North Little Rock, Cabot, Jacksonville, Beebe, and maybe Searcy. And the hours need to be flexible~ and preferably not private since those tend to be more expensive. If any of you know someone or have yourself been somewhere like this please let me know~ I would really rather have answers from someone with personal experience with this. Teen/college age classes

What path in life should i take as a current gymnastics coach? One of my goals in life is to coach competitive gymnasts and eventually own a gymnastics club. I'm a college graduate (BS in graphic design/computers) currently living in a studio apartment 3 hours from my hometown working as a gymnastics coach. I work 30 or so hours per week. I love being a gymnastics coach. I'm about 75% happy with my job. I am spending almost all my money that i earn. My lease is up in Sept. In the fall there is potential for changes that might make me happier. I think if i stay at one gym, that i'd work my way up. I could be living at home coaching gymnastics and i would be working 10-20 hours per week; i would not be coaching the age group or levels i would like and get paid less. Or i could be living at home and have a full time job not related to gymnastics. (and i really don't like graphic design anymore). What do i do in the fall?
