I'm going to start videoing warm ups. She would of loved to been able to see that vault. And if she can do it once it will come again.I try not to watch warmups at all. Maybe I should start.
I watch, and then wonder why he misses those same skills when the judges are watching.I try not to watch warmups at all. Maybe I should start.
I swear, her father and I hate a good warm up. Especially on bars and beam. We find when she gets the bobbles out of the way she does better when it counts. We see a good bar or beam warm and look at each other and go uh oh who knows how this is going to go. Been like this since L2......I watch, and then wonder why he misses those same skills when the judges are watching.
I have asked my DD to watch her successful version of a skill (from a mock meet) just to help her with visualization and to remind her that she CAN do it. Knowing something intellectually and seeing herself actually do it are very different somehow.I'm going to start videoing warm ups. She would of loved to been able to see that vault.

When my girl gets frustrated with anytHong, school, gym, whatever. I pull up her first cartwheels..... and whatever the last thing she struggled with that now is solid.

Good for her- that's fantastic!After being cast aside last spring by the gym where she’d spent five years, this weekend my daughter had a successful L5 debut. She beautifully landed all the L5 skills the old gym said she’d never be able to do, and took third on bars to boot. She doesn’t think it’s anything special, but I have rarely been more proud.
My DD is definitely extraordinary to me. Today is the 6th anniversary of her first gymnastics meet (thanks fb memories!), and she just Venmo’d a meet director payment for her first college club meet (college sure works differently! Ha!). She’s injured and can only compete two events. She doesn’t have a team- her college has a practice club but no official NAIGC team- so she’s getting on a bus (I bought the ticket as a gift) 4 hours each way to compete on her own. She is the living embodiment of doing it for the love of the sport, and she is amazing to me for it.
Without including scores, placements, other other accolades, I would so love to hear from anyone who wants to celebrate or share something cool and positive about their athlete(s).
So glad I got a good video that shows her routine and her team mates jumping up and down for her when she caught it.
