Well, we went to a 3 hr clinic yesterday. My DD is a young, and small 7, most of the girls there were around 10-15 yrs old, and seemed way more into cheering than gymnastics. It was interesting to talk and listen to the other parents. A lot of them were like "Why are they so worried about form, why are they working on handstands, etc." I find it crazy that so many of them were more worried about their kids "getting" their BHS as opposed to doing it correctly and safely. We had an Olympic advisor for a coach, and the #1 tumbler in the country teaching the class, so who are ya gonna listen to? Geeze!
Anyway, my Abbey is doing well, her handstands improve everyday, and her BHS has really good form, she is just not confident doing it by herself yet. Im sure she will get there! What was amazing is that she was equal to, if not better than most of the girls at round-offs, vaults, cartwheels, and so on. At the end of the day, she felt very proud of herself to have hung in there with girls twice her age. Just a little brag on my part, we are going to talk to her coach about pre-team on Tues., wish us luck! Jodi
