DND
Proud Parent
DD went to the doctors Wednesday and after taking a new Xray she was okayed to remove the boot (growth plate fracture) and start back. Main thing to to let pain be her guide.
She is registered to compete in Montreal March 8th and I am not sure if this will be too soon. She told me Friday that one of the two head coaches said she did not think she would be ready, but her husband the other coach does.
I think it would be great for her to go and get experience in front of the judges as she has only done one real meet ever. I also think it would be a lot of fun for her as it is an out of town meet with the hotel and staying with teammates etc. If she does not compete then her next meet is provincials for a spot on the team going to Westerns.
On the other hand I in no way want to have her injured as she has had enough of that this year.
In her events she would have to do the following:
Bars - Kip cast to handstand/3 giants/layout flyway dismount
Vault - Front Handspring on to stacked mats & 1/2 on onto stacked matts
Beam - Press handstand mount/BWO-BHS connection/ 1/2 jump turn / FWO / split leap split jump conx/full turn/ switch leap and RO/BT dismount
Floor - three passes - RO/BHS/LO 1/2 - FHS/FT - FT SO RO BHS BT
- front and side aerials
- full turn leaps misc
I am just not sure if this is pushing it or not. We have had many conversations about dealing with not going in case she got pulled, about the experience and understanding her limitations and expectations if she does go with limited training etc. and I think mentally she is in a good place and gets all of this.
So what do you think is the best way to go?
