Parents Time for Uptraining

[Gymmonkeymomma]

My Little Monkey was a tad disappointed about not making Regionals (she just missed the last alternate spot by 0.075). She was grumpy about it for a few days, but now it seems that even though the 9s/10's are busy training for Regionals/Nationals, uptraining has begun for LM.

For the past 2 weeks, she's been doing her baile drills and beam rotation now includes "competitive series" as well as "future series". She has been working on her BHS layout on the low beam and last night did it without the mats on the sides! She also started working on new beam dismount (RO Full) - she was very excited!

DD also just missed regionals and was very disappointed. Her coach told her, "while the others are practicing their routines, you get to work on new skills". That was all the motivation she needed!

Two words seem sufficient for now......Motivation!.....Momentum!
