HC relayed an anecdote after practice that she overheard today. My DDs training group includes one girl (teenage platinum) who consistently complains she is bad at this and that- whether she takes first or last it's always the same. Today she was repeatedly complaining that she was bad on bars and on specific aspects of her bars. My DDs responses were "don't complain about it, work on it" and "if you stop complaining about it, you can start correcting it". Coach thought they were the perfect responses and I am thinking that I agree. It was definitely one of those, "if you throw enough stuff against the wall, some is bound to stick", moments for me. Whenever we talk about something that has gone wrong, I tell her that hard work will trump adversity every time. I guess she was listening!
