Dd's second level 6 meet is over. I don't even know what her AA score was, but she scored in the 8's on all events and she improved on 3 of the 4. I consider that a great meet and she is very happy with how she did.
It was interesting though, because we could not figure out what happened with beam. She scored a full point lower on beam than 2 weeks ago, yet to me (the untrained eye) the routines looked almost identical - with wobbles in the same spots and everything. They gave out a booklet with deductions listed for all the events. So we read through it together. Most of it meant nothing to me, but dd was able to pick out things that she realized she was doing wrong. We went back and looked at the video again and she saw more things that she did wrong. What is frustrating is that the coaches have not been correcting this stuff in practice and dd had no idea she was doing anything wrong until reading the score book and then watching her video. Hopefully now though she can make these small changes and improve at the next meet. Has anyone else had this happen to them?
