DD (10) is now doing her Tsuk on to a crash mat into the pit - very exciting for her (and me too,
) - I swear I am getting more grey hairs by the day! 
And yet her coaches keeping telling us that while she is doing "well" - she must focus harder, put forth more effort, etc.
Don't get me wrong, we love her coaches, I just wish they would be a little more positive with her. She won a few AA's this past season and is now moved up a level (and got 2nd on beam and 3rd on floor at that new level). She is the one who does not have "exceptional" ability/flexibility - but has a hugely strong worth ethic and obviously "some" talent.
*sigh* always an uphill strugglel
But we are very happy about the Tsuk
