Parents She has overcome!!

[AlexsGymmyMom]

My DD has ALWAYS struggled overcoming fears. Especially on the beam. 2 nights ago she missed her hands doing a BWO on the beam (twice) and broke her fall with her face!. I just knew that she would be back to a line on the floor and taking many moons to get back to where she was.

But she has really proven me wrong on this one. Last night she did both a BWO and a BHS without being spotted! I am so stinkin proud of her! I don't think there is anything she could do to make me prouder!

Way to go! Love those bursty proud moments
All you can do with this sport is expect the unexpected !

YAY FOR HER!

It wasn't until reading these forums that I realised that it was even possible to overcome a fear - I recently gave up horseriding because I have developed a fear of jumping (after 30 years!) but I now feel inspired to try again. I am seriously impressed by your daughter - I can only imagine the level of courage it must have taken for her to get back on the beam and plunge backwards again. Huge congratulations to her.

This is wonderful news! This is one of my favorite parts of gymnastics. What amazing personal growth for her.

You should be excited and proud. It seems she's deciding she's more able than she previously thought, and that's not an easy step to take and live up after having been cast as fearful of those skills.

Love it!!!!! So happy for both of you!

Ouch! Glad she was able to shake it off and keep going. I hate when falls set them back.

I am very happy for your daughter, and am glad she is fine from her fall. Mine has a philosophy that is essentially, well if that is the worst that can happen (it's not, but I don't say anything) then I can try again
