Every meet it is like this for me. My dd is in her 2nd year competing (L5 last year, L6 this year). We will be leaving in a bit for her first meet of the season and I'm just SO nervous.
Her L6 team is really big (17 girls! That seems big to me) and there are so many in her age group and many of them are REALLY good. Last year, she watched all her friends get medals in the first 2 meets while she sat there with nothing. It was literally all of her friends. She was one of only 2 girls on her team not to medal at all during the first 2 meets. She did go on to medal in all the remaining meets, including a 6th place on beam at states, so hopefully she can hold onto her memory of working and reaching her goals if today doesn't go well.
She's got a mental block on her back walkover on beam and I'm hoping she can just get through it....even if it isn't pretty.
Sorry....just rambling. She seems calm....so I must project it, too.
