Rik Feeney scores a perfect 10.0 with both the Gymnastics Journal & Meet Survival Guide and Gymnastics Journal. The Gymnastics Journal is a 79-page journal for gymnasts to write their thoughts. What is different with his journal is that he has taken pictures from around a club gym and put those pictures into the background of the journal pages. These pictures range from gymnastic moves, to a coach at work, and even someone chalking their grips. The pictures themselves can be a thought starter and any gymnast would enjoy this journal, but this might be best for the recreational gymnast.
The Gymnastics Journal & Meet Survival Guide takes the journal one step further. All the pages from The Gymnastics Journal are included and then there is another section for the competitive gymnast who is attending meets. This additional information includes a "My Favorites Page", monthly scheduling calendars, general meet information, meet scoring sheets and meet review pages, Word Searches, autograph pages, and address pages. I really liked the Meet Review Pages as they allowed the gymnast to review how they performed, what they were proud of, and what they wanted to improve. The autograph section is useful to get the autographs of the new friends that are made as well as the occasional elite gymnast that might be seen at a meet. The general meet information is also helpful for parents who are attending their first meets. Rik knows what gymnasts like as he has packed this book with all their favorite things in a book.
