Congrats! Giants are one of my all-time favorite skills! Just a warning--she may go through a period where she has trouble making giants again, or she may get a sudden fear--it happens, like everything else in gymnastics. I suggest that if this does happen try to remind her of how fun they were when she first did them by herself. My coach always told us to think of giants as a rollercoaster--being in the handstand is like being at the top of the hill on the rollercoaster, then as you swing down you're going down the hill, then it's back up to the top. Plus, just like rollercoasters, giants are tons of fun!

YEAh!!!! I want to thank all of you for the support, advice, and encouragement. It has been a lot of help to us both. Once she finally did it alone she came home and said "what a waste of 1 year it wasn't even scary."
Can you even believe it! Gee what did we all tell you. LOL Anyways for anyone struggling with these just keep on working at it. DD did lots of strap bar, pit bar, and spot to build up confidence. Also much, much core strength is needed and i beleive that made the difference this year also. Last but not least is a great coaching staff who push these girls to do what the coachs know they can do. Teenage girls are a lot of work we are all blessed to have coaches so dedicated to the sport they will coach teen girls and love the sport and the girls. THANKS COACHS. One big road block gone for now.i am sure there will be others
CONGRATULATIONS to your dd! This is a huge milestone, what an accomplishment
