Women youngish Level 7

[DP gymnast mom]

Hi, my youngest dd will compete her first level 7 meet this month. Any words of wisdom? What level 7 skill is a crucial one to do well? Tips on what the training areas of focus should be?

She should keep working hard, listen to her coach, get enough rest and food, and have fun. Good Luck!

My daughter is very normal and has always been average age for her level. But her friends who are fast tracked or went HOPES/elite had their own challenges always being stuck in Child A. It’s always hard being young for level because she’ll likely encounter the most talented girls and some potential future elites who won’t peel off for HOPES for a while.

Interesting. She is 9. So younger girls get grouped differently during meets? I didn't know that. Thanks for sharing
