My 12 year old daughter is a Level 9 gymnast who has had back to back injuries (stress fracture in her foot and then fracture in her hand that she needed surgery for ) . She has been cleared to return to full gymnastics . She has done a great job keeping herself strong during this time . She has only competed 1 meet in the last year. Dr says she should be able to possibly compete half of her season (around Feb ) if she is ready .
Her confidence is shattered . She has fear of getting hurt again . Bars is going to be the hardest due to the scar on her hand . She did a giant Thursday and a tsuk vault and a beam series on the low beam , that made her happy but I see her still hesitant . No pressure from me , I'm fine if she doesn't compete until next season , she is only 12 .
I'm wondering if it's just going to take time for her . She says she needs to trust her body and she's not sure how . I have asked her if she wants to try another sport and she says no . Any advice would be great !
