She has really been struggling this year with mental blocks on 3 out of 4 events and is really not enjoying the fears. She says after she learns these three scary skills (BWO on beam, BHSBT, Flyaway - which flew away on vacation in September) there will be scarier skills. She LOVES floor and dance. So she is moving on to acro dance (and will explore other dance styles this summer).
I already gave 30 days notice (required by our contract) because I was having difficulty getting a meeting with the coaches... We will have a meeting with the Coaches on Tuesday and will go in with an open mind (at least I will) but DD is pretty adamant about quitting.
She tried acro and loved it. She was sad, but only when she talked about giving up her dreams. Her pros and cons list for gym had competition, friends, handstands, and splits. So I think acro will be a perfect fit.
I'm a little sad, because I hate to see her leave because of fear, but I don't think it is just fear. And she isn't quitting she is branching out to something that will be a better fit for her. So we are really looking forward to it.
So I feel very melancholy about it, but I'm sure I will feel better once she makes the transition. I know my pocket book will be very happy!
