Well first I would like to say hello! I havn't been on here in who knows how long, but I am finally back to the site where people relate to me. I wanted to brag a little bit, since I have been of the site I have finished competing state in my "Comeback" year (which I took first on Vault, Bars, and AA and third on floor). Ideally I would not be a level 6 this past year but I needed time for my head and body to get back into shape. I also had to switch gyms because my old gym closed to financial problems. I wasn't too upset because it was something I had been considering for years but I have to travel much farther since my old gym was right down the street. I love the new gym, it is much bigger than the old gym and everyone was very welcoming. I am currently training level 8 and either petitioning out of 7 or competing 7 at my first meet of the year. The biggest news that I have is that I had a coach that told me I would never be able to flip any kind of vault in my gymnastics career. I agree im not the best vaulter but I do work very hard at it and making it good. At the new gym the coach has had me working a ton of yurchenkos onto the trainer and they have been looking very good. My new HC has told me that if I fix my hurdle so that I go straight I should have no problems flipping a yurchenko. This was something that I never saw coming! I have progressed more in the month that I have been at my new gym that they years that I spent at the old gym. It was by far a good move and my old HC is now an assistant coach at the new gym. I love that there is less drama, and no one doesn't like me for no reason there. Thanks for reading I know it is a little long (i like to write) but I was excited and most people don't understand the accomplishment.
