Working on a Ray skill.

[kitkat]

This girl has had her ups and downs.
Torn knee in two places - doesn't compete all year. Recovers then breaks her thumb on an Ariel (yes Ariel is no hands - go figure).
Then she gets a scholarship. Yah
Makes it to elite Canada but doesn't make Nationals.
Competes L10 places third at provincials. And off to Nationals. Then breaks toe on a drill. Out for Nationals.

And she still goes to gym everyday with a smile.

Today she worked her 'ray'. Day 3 in the belt. She makes me proud everyday. Love summer training.

Thanks its been quite a journey. I've seen so many girls retire after their first injury. I'm just so glad she has been able to see past that.

She is amazing! Thank you for sharing her journey.

yay for her! i hope she has an injury free next season.

we have a girl working on that at our gym. i like the belt. she's been doing it over pit bar and hasn't quite made the catch. the pit's an easy fall. i wish our gym had a belt like that on the regular bars.

Our head coach loves the belt. We have one on the trampoline as well.

Yes this is a neat skill. Her shoot half isn't coming along as nicely. She just can't figure out not to flip. She's so use to doing a pac. Love summer training. Which it was longer
