Hi there, my daughter has always been a monkey, I swear she was climbing before she was walking. So naturally we put her in Gymnastics.She’s always had fun doing rec Gymnastics, last year we decided to let her start competing. Where we currently live is not the most competitive place, but we will be moving soon into an area with much better gym and better competition.
For her first year at six years old competing I feel like she’s doing great. However, if she does not make Top three at the end of the meet she tends to fall apart and cry, or if she has a bad performance on an event. None of the other girls seem to be doing this? They don’t really seem to care. Which I think is great, because it means they’re just having fun. How do I help my daughter to focus on the fun and not already be so overly competitive?
Also is this a bad sign that she’s just not going to make it as a gymnast?
