There goal for this meet wat to have a better AA score! and they Made there goal!
(I usually have them focus on 1 thing to improve on a meet , like younger dd I had suggested her goal be to get her dismount, she has a gorgous one at practices but in meets she does not get it! oh well!)
anyhow younger dd has never gotten higher than a 29 well today she got 30.775
older dd her first meet (this was her 2nd was a 31 this meet she got 33.0
they did soo GREAT!!
On another note , any ideas to help a child who seems to get anxiety when she is competing ? while her coach does not want them to have ipods we are thinking of letting her have it for music to listen to before that is calming and such so get her mind more focused!
any other ideas to help maybe? We are convinced that if her anxiety was not there soo bad at least she would have better scores and she would SLOW down (that is one of the main things that is screwing with her getting better scores.)
