I have posted many times that DD is so easy going and really seems to take mistakes in stride even when she is at a meet. However today she was very quiet after practice and she tried not talking at all when I asked if she had a great practice. Then when she got in the car, she broke down. She said she didn't want to go to state. When she calmed down she said she is afraid she will miss her squat on on the bars. I tried telling her that she will be fine, that the world won't stop if she falls, that I know she can do it and she herself has to believe she can, and lastly that she might be falling off because she 'thinks' she already will even before she does that first kip. The thing is is that she can do a beautiful bar routine! Her coaches know this too. DD is just being too hard on herself.
It is now about three hours after her break down and she does feel better. She does want to go to state after all. This kid will probably be one of the youngest competitors in her age group. She just turned 7 this Januuary. She however thinks she should be able to handle it all. I have no doubt that she will smile at every turn because that is just her way, but now I know that she does worry about her performance.
So please, can everyone send some good luck fairies DD's way and please make a special request for the 'squat on' bar fairy to make her appearance. DD competes Sunday eary morning...
Good Luck to all gymmies competing this weekend!!!
