American Gabby Douglas Classic

Welcome to Behind The Scenes Spencer is back today to discuss Suni, Jade and Gabby Douglas immediately following Gabby's debut at the American Classic in Texas. We went live Saturday, April 27th at the conclusion of the meet. Here's how to ask questions live. Can't make it live? Add all of our Club bonus content to to your favorite podcast player, instructions here. We discuss:

Spencer's health update
- Our accountant has advised us against accepting donations for Spencer. Everything that has been donated already is being sent to Spencer. The best way to support him is to honor his wishes against a GoFundMe. You could visit The Balance Beam Situation often and visit the site advertisers. Whether Spencer can work or not, GymCastic will continue to pay his salary to support his treatment. Long ago we agreed to be gymnastics married, in sickness and in health. Thanks to all of our GymNerd members who make that possible.
