going back to gym

[gymgirl3218]

After my states competition in april, i decided to take a break from gymnastics. Im going back pretty soon and I'm both excited and nervous. I already know I have to be patient with myself to get some of my skills back to how they were before my break. but, I can put a lot of pressure on myself. please wish me luck for going back!

I did the same thing! I took a break when my high school season was over, which was at the end of Feb. I restarted at the beginning of July. The first few practices I was a little sore and frusturated with myself for not being able to do all of my skills that I could before hand, but soon got them back. After about 4 or 5 practices, I was back in the swing of things and progressing normally. For me, the hardest skills to get back were those on beam, especially my back hangspring, which I was close to before I quit. I also put pressure on myself, but that just gives you more motivation to get everything! Good luck!

Good Luck! As a mom, I definitely have to emphasize patience and a little caution. With our daughter we had her start initially with some conditioning and then some event specific conditioning and then let her coaches help her progress from there.
