So J had her first L3 meet Friday. She had fun and did well. Still pretty sure she doesn't get the whole idea of how the process works but she really had fun competing.
First up was floor, good confidence builder for her since she does well there.
Floor: 9.3 1st
Vault: 9.0 2nd
Bars: 7.6 (that darn Mill circle..)
Beam: 9.125 1st
35.05 2nd AA
On Sunday she had her first TNT meet. She learned a good lesson. The meet started with trampoline and she did well I think (no clue how the scoring works) She got a 24.0 and 2nd place. On to the tumbling passes. She does her first and get a 9.2 Great score. Back in line to wait for pass 2. She starts, does a wonderful ROBHS, stops and salutes the judges just beaming. The only problem? That pass was supposed to be ROBHS,BHS. She smiled all the way to me and then the tears came. Her coach and I explained to her that no one is perfect and mistakes happen. It took a little while but then she was OK. I told her, you're 7, its OK. Coach told her, no one is going to be upset at you, you always do your best. I think maybe she was just embarrased. We also talked about not getting so upset since mistakes will happen and how we all make mistakes all through life. We also tried to explain we are proud of her no matter what, how she does is for her not us. Her second pass received an 8.5, which gave her 2nd place for tumbling.
Her scores will allow her to mobilize so next meet she will compete L5 for TNT.
So all in all a good weekend. Video to follow.
