Things to pump yourself up?

[gymgymgymnast08]

Hey. I'm just wondering what you do to pump yourself up before a meet? Any good songs to listen to? I have a meet tomorrow!

I usually just watch videos on youtube of gymn and then I look for quotes too! lol

 

[blantonnick]

Go to Google and type in this name:
Shun Fujimoto

If this guy's story doesn't pump you up then you are callous.........

I do mock meets but I still like to get pumped up for those!! This might sound silly but I like to turn on happy upbeat music and dance around in my leo!! haha, it's kinda silly but it lets me be loose and not stress about doing my routine! How did the meet go?

Hannah Montana and ANYTHING cheesy will always pump you up lol!

songs "Remember the Name" by Fort Minor
and "Imma Shine" from the Step Up soundtrack
work good for pumping me up

Thanks everyone! My meet was alright... 6th on floor, 4th on bars, 4th AA, 3rd Beam. Its not that my places were bad its that I can't honestly say I did my best. I fell on beam and I never fall. I'm really mad because I might I have been able to save it too. And then I miscalculated how close the high bar was since the gym had bars that don't go as far as ours, so I jumped hard but then I'm like whoa heres the bar I'm almost hitting my face on it. But then I did an uprise from that and such. Next meet im probably putting my giants in so I'll tell you how that goes.

[gymgymgymnast08]

I like Who Says? and Life's What You Make It.

 

[gymgymgymnast08]

Nobody's Perfect is definitely the best song EVER.

I love listening to inspirational music (like Hannah Montana) and watching movies or just chilling out on the internet
I have this weird tactice too.
The night before a comp, before I go to sleep. I Imagine myself doing my routines perfectly once or twice.

 

[gymnast_babiee94]

Yeah I thought that was amazing!

yeah for meets I just lesten to my favortie upbeat songs it really gets me pumped and excited!!

When I competed and performed in displays I would make massive lists the night before of what I would need and make a minute-by-minute timetable for the next day, and that always got me really excited. I also used to count down the hours on a piece of paper for about a week before!

 

[gracefulone]

To get ourselves excited about a run, my bf and I do The Hoedown Throwdown dance. I had learned it before seeing the movie, then after we saw it, he wouldn't quit begging me to teach it to him as we were helping our friend study one day. So right there, in the public library, I taught him. He thinks it's so cool that he can do it lol.

 

[lifesentencegymmie]

I always watch stick it...and a video on youtube called elite gymnastics...Its kind of sad so I dont know why it pumps me up...but it does!!
