My 7yo has been struggling at gym lately. She's doing really well on her L2 competitions, but she is getting a little discouraged. She thinks her coach hates her because she does pushups constantly. They do 25 pushups when they make a mistake on their routines. Poor thing was at her breaking point. The other day when I picked her up she had to do 100 back hip circles because she keeps falling out of them on bars. There was a pretty good little rub burn on her legs, and her hands look like heck. I had a talk with her coach and things seem to have improved. She talked with DD and I both about why she pushes her and such. DD also is seeming a little bored with the L2 skills. Our meet season is nearly over. Last meet is tomorrow, and state is in April. I was thinking there was nothing I could do to get DD excited about gym again.....color me wrong! Her coach told her in our meeting that she wants to start up-training her after this weekend. All the girls on her team will remain L2's next year because of the USAG changes. DD is going to be moving up!!! She is skipping a level!!! All of a sudden DD could CARE LESS about how many pushups she has to do....she is pumped!!! I'm just thankful for the little victories for her. She has been working so hard this year.
