“It is fantastic to see the deductions as the video is playing. The notes on how to fix it are also great! I will be doing this again. Money well spent!”
“We absolutely loved using meet critique. It was very eye opening to my son to see the little mistakes he was making that could significantly alter his score.
I loved that each critique came with a personal note with advice. My son loved reading those.”
So awesome to hear that your son is getting value from his meetcritiques! The best part is seeing all those little deductions that can be cleaned up to increase a score even more than adding in a big new skill. Good luck this meet season!
“WOW! I've been a gym mom for almost 6 years now and competed myself (many many years ago) and could never quite figure out all the deductions the judges were taking. Having access to Meet Critique is amazing! It may not ease my nerves at meets, but at least I will have a better understanding of my daughter's scores.”
It’s awesome hearing some love from a strictly parent POV! Watching your kids compete and having no idea what’s going is super frustrating - and is actually the meetcritique origin story!
“The 1st score wasn’t what I needed but the customer service offered was great. They took the time to revise what was needed and I will be sending in more videos for them to review. Thanks for great customer service!!!!”
Thanks so much for trying meetcritique and sharing your thoughts in a review. Gotta say, this one caught us off guard!
Our judges are human and are working from videos - as opposed to seeing a routine in real life. It is not uncommon for our scores to be different than a gymnast received at a meet. In fact - it is rare that both of the judges IN REAL LIFE agree on a score and they are sitting right next to each other :)
Regarding the missed flexed feet and turned toes on a landing, our judge did give an overall footwork deduction in addition to a flexed foot form deduction at one point. We also pointed out that the gymnast should focus specifically on footwork in the Judge's Notes.
But if we missed something, that's on us and we need to do better.
“My daughter was nervous to use the service. We were both surprised that the judge took the time to write feedback in the comments section. The judge was kind, gave positive feedback along with the ways to improve. My daughter felt empowered.”
“As a parent with no gymnastics background it was super helpful to see all the little deductions for footwork and balance checks. Hoping to use this is a continuous teaching tool!”
It's like you read the meetcritique origin story - so thanks for the rad review, Audrey! Hope we can continue to help you and your gymnast this season and beyond!
“Meet critique is so amazing. I had no idea that they actually freeze the video at each location of where a deduction happens and you can see what needs to be fixed. Their comments are also very encouraging even though they are critiquing the routine.”
“I love the listing of deductions and the video playing with the deductions and stopping at each deduction by freezing the video so you can see exactly what the deductions are. Right now.”
Right on, Kristi - Thanks for the awesome review! Our judges do an incredible job of freezing the action where a deduction be identified (and corrected) by gymnasts!
“I watched/read the review together with my daughter. Her first reaction was “did you pick the person that judged this?” She absolutely loved the honest but positive review that was written and said if she could she’d pick that judge again to review more of her routines! She couldn’t wait to get back in the gym to work on corrections before the next meet! Will definitely add more videos! Thank you!”
Wow! So great to hear how you and your daughter reacted to her meetcritique! Check back in with us after your NEXT routines go up - I bet she requests that next judge too. They're ALL awesome!
“I’ve tried other services and this one is by far the best. One of my favorite and most helpful aspects is that the video is frozen at the exact point of deduction so you are perfectly clear on the error. This will be my go-to site from now on!”
This is a Hall of Fame review! Glad you found meetcritique.
We are stoked to hear that you found our service to be the best among others you have tried. It means a lot to the whole team.
Thanks for your awesome support!
“These reviews were so helpful for my gymnast. The feedback was excellent and was presented in a very positive and encouraging way. It really helps my gymnast see what exactly she needs to work on.”
Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review! Our judges like to point out the "low hanging fruit" for gymnasts to tackle for the shortest path to an increased score.
“The judges' meticulous critique of the gymnastics video is praiseworthy. Their detailed descriptions of deductions are accurate and constructive, providing valuable insight for improvement. The encouraging notes to the gymnasts reflect a positive approach, fostering a supportive environment that motivates gymnasts to excel in their performances.”
“I loved the feedback my daughter received from her video. It was a perfect balance of praise and constructive criticism. She has reviewed it a few times and she’s already working on changes in her routine. I can’t wait to submit her next videos. It was so helpful. Thank you so much!”
