goals???

[cccam]

Ok So I'm not gonna have these done soon but its like before I go to college. I'm in 8th grade now.

To become a level 9.... ( i'm a level 8 now)
To get some sweet tricks aka straddle back bounding on floor( like front handspring front pike front tuck)


Also this doesn't really have much to do with goals...... But next season I get to get new music. Does anyone have any suggestions? I want something fast. Thanks!

wow! level 8 now! you'll def get to level 9

I really just want to try my bwo on high beam without mats, but i'm too scared.

You just have to make yourself go for it; that's kind of where I'm at with my series. Have you seen/read "The Peaceful Warrior/The way of the Peaceful Warrior"? When I get scared, I whisper to myself a line from there. "There are no ordinary moments" and I go right away. Having a little trick like that can help sometimes.

 

[gymgymgymnast08]

When I get scared I just kinda go for it anyway. Maybe have someone stand near the beam? After you go for the first one its not scary anymore and you are like I was scared of this? Good Luck!

hey don't worry about it. we are all scared of something. for me i am TERRIFIED of bhs layout stepouts on beam. ahhh i hate them. what really helped me get over my fear was
1. watching people do it like it was nothing. when you see people just do it like its no big deal it really helps put things into perspective

2. thinking about what is the worst thing that can happen... and then thinking "is that an actual possiblity?" and then answer probably will be no. on bhs layout step outs i think to myself, "am i really going to hurt myself on this skill???" and i answer myself probably not because my backhandsprings are pretty straight. i mean that might not work for everyone but that also really helps me put my fear into perspective.

3. before you go, just don' t think to hard about what your going to do. the more emphasis you put on going for it, the bigger deal it becomes. don't stress yourself out about it. i went to a sports psychologist who helped me with some of my fears about gymnastics and her advice was to do something active before you go. for example during my routine i will think of a song in my head and right before i go for my series i will be singing that song and then when im standing there about to go i will think of some key words (like square your hips, straighten your legs, ect) and then i go back to the song and then i'll just go for it.

just do it! remember to always believe in yourself as a gymnast. you know you can do it and eventually if you want it bad enough your body will just make you go.

i really hope this helped! i know it was long lol

[gymnasticsbabie]

thanks! i just turned sixteen last week i think im going to start a goal book so i can keep track of my goals and stuff

 

[gymgymgymnast08]

Thats a good Idea! I just turned 14 today and I'm a level 8!

 

[gymgymgymnast08]

Ok so no one has posted goals in a while so I'll start it again!
Vault: To get my twisting good! And to get a good score on it at meets! haha 8.1 highest fall score this season. Pretty bad I know. And to eventually do a different vault that involves a flip not a twist. Because I'm definitely a flipper not a twister..........
Bars: To get a straddle back this summer!! And maybe to get free hip hand?
Beam: Hm to add more difficulty in for next year! To get my connection ALL THE TIME. I'm talking like If I try 10 I wanna make 10!
Floor: To put twisting in my routine. and to get my dance better!!! Yeah Im a horrible dancer! LOL!

 

[gymgymgymnast08]

210 posts!!! YEAH BABY!!!!!!!!!

 

[SquirrelLadyMir]

I guess I'll add mine too
Vault: tsuk
Bars: giants, handstand 1/2 toe-catch
Beam: suicide, 1 1/2 front full dismount.
Floor: roundoff back layout back tuck, full

 

[gracefulone]

wink wink sly nudge.

So...goals. I have a three-week break from meets, then three weekends in a row, so now's a great time to work.

Bars: tighten up throughout routine, more height coming out of highbar clearhip.
Beam: Go to the next meet without even THINKING about taking a spot on my frontwalkover.
Floor: Land my fronthand front at a meet. Get more height and less pikey on layout.
Vault: Block more quickly and with tight arms.

I had a great meet yesterday! I got all of those goals and my scores showed it! I fell on my frontwalkover on beam, but did it alone, and made a very solid fronthandspring.

 

[gymgymgymnast08]

YAY!!!!!!! Good job Gracefulone!
