Hello,
New to the site - heard about from a friend- looks great!!!!
My 8 year old just broke her elbow almost 2 weeks ago. She still has been going to class 9 hours a week & conditions & does anything she can!!! The thing is ...we go to State this Saturday April 26th. She was/is very upset, understandably so. She has worked so hard, so many hours & so many private lessons. Her bar & floor routine are so beautiful with her coaches telling her 9.5's were taking us to elite at State, this being her first State meet. This would have only been her 5th meet total. Getting ready to move to level 5 as well as the rest of her team. She is a very tough little girl, gymnastics is on her mind almost every hour of the day. My front room is a mini gymnasium. She is not discourged as the Dr. told her she can go back to gymnastics as soon as she heals.
As the weekend is fast approaching, she is very upset that she will be warming up with her team but not in competition.
Does anyone have any words of advice I can give her, has anyone been in this situation? I hate seeing her look at her gymnastics trophys & medals on the wall & tears run down her face while she says" why would god let happen?"
Any suggestions would be welcome- thanks so much!
