Hey everyone,
Sorry I have been absent for a while, time seems to be getting away from me! Beetle had a meet last weekend. She did well. It was a small meet and that was really nice after our meet last meet (Chicago Style).
First up was floor.. in the past 2 weeks there has been some mental struggle with her coach. Beetle competed a 1 1/2 twist in Chicago, and a Punch, Front Hand Front Tuck. And another double salto pass. Oh and they put a new turn in her floor routine.. well by the end of the first off week, Beetle was not doing her new front pass and couldnt do her new turn without falling on her face (Btw - I asked her, How does that happen? How can you do a Full and a Half twist and stand it up but yet fall on a double turn? I dont get it LOL) She was frustrated her second coach was asking her why are you doing those skills you are only going to get lower scores.. It seemed to be a little bit of a power struggle because her primary coach likes the girls to push the envelope of skills, but after the end of the first week her coach completely watered down her floor routine, A full twist a front hand front tuck. back to her old turn...
I guess it worked well she did a nice routine got a 9.2 on floor - Tied for 6th! HOO HOO
Vault - she has been so consistent with the half on half off.. and scored the same as in her Last meet. 8.35. I am not sure how much higher we will get out of it.. the vault is only a 9.1 SV
Bars... oh my .. bars again.. poor kiddo struggled ALL WEEK on her pirouettes AGAIN! SO much that she did a total of only 2 on Tuesday... and had a private lesson on Wednesday, in an hour and a half she did only 3 pirouettes.. she would cast up beautifully and stop in handstand.. she just did not push her shoulders over the bar enough.. but she did one in compeition! and scored a season high of 8.35 on bars.
Beam.. Her main goal was to connect flight and not fall LOL... Well one judge gave her connection and the other didnt..8.575.. she did place 10th...
She got a season high AA score of 34.45...
Now this week we are off to a BIG Meet - event finals are possible at this meet. She wants to make them. I hope she does but only 8 kids out of 75? I just hope she has fun and is proud of herself...
