Okay i don't really know where to start because it's kinda a long story or rather lots and lots of little stories so this might be a bunch of ramble that doesn't really make sense.
Okay so I am really having a rough time at the moment and everything is just a bit stressful! I have school half yearlies that count towards my final ATAR (like uni entrance ranking thing) and we are a few weeks out from comp and my grandma has just had surgery to remove the breast cancer that they found. So that has all amounted to some very high levels of stress!
Secondly, It's getting very frustrating with strength, in terms of strength I am all legs and that makes me an awesome tumbler which is great but when it comes to our upper body set, I just cannot seem to get any stronger. I have worked hard for over a year to get these stupid rope climbs with no legs but it just seems impossible. It makes me feel awful when I see the level 3's I coach climb the rope with no legs when I have been working at it for so long and it just doesn't seem to get any easier and I have been working so hard!!! I don't know what to do!!
Thirdly, I am getting really sick of coaching myself often. This is mainly because I don't do bars and have to do something else while everyone else does bars. I know this cannot be helped but when the whole group does bars for sometimes 45 mins most training sessions it does make me feel a little forgotten.
Finally, as i am in year 12 this was supposed to be my last year of gym. However, I really want to do gym and compete next year, probably for just one more year and then I will switch to adult gym. My only problem is finances. Hopefully I can come up with some sort of agreement with my parents like I pay for all comp entries and leotards etc (and just pray a new comp leo doesn't come out next year!) and all the extras and they just pay for the tuition (fairly cheap as we are a not for profit club) or something of that variety or maybe I can coach to pay off my training and just not get paid or something like that as I am already coaching as well. And I just think of my life without gym and it makes me so sad! I just want to do it for the rest of my life! I don't want to be held back simply because I cannot afford it as a uni student!
I know this is probably a pain to read and sorry to make you listen to my insignificant complaints, I just needed somewhere to vent
