I haven't been around too much kids have been keeping me busy. I am so stressed about this up coming season. All the girls are starting next month training their new levels. My little one is the only one not moving from Level 4 due to her age. Right now she is relishing the training. She almost has her kip the only level 5 skill that she is lacking. She got the Level 6 beam dismount last week, has her front tuck, her back tuck, is doing 7 continuous backhandsprings clean. She is on cloud nine with all the up training. I keep hearing from everyone how she is just going to do so awesome. I know she has really stepped up her training because she has something to look forward to. She was so bored last year with not competing and training like she was. She could have held her own and if she was old enough probably been moved to level 5 and been very successful. Now starting in July she will be the only second year. They are talking about her being a leader and such and what an asset she is going to be to the team.
I really don't care if she is a leader. I just want her to keep pushing herself, getting better, and happy. I know while all the newbies are learning everything she is going to go into a funk so to speak if she has to train with them. If she uptrains the entire time she then will miss the entire bonding. I swear this is a catch 22 for her. She wants to be with all her friends and I know it is going to be so hard on her to be the one left behind. None of the coaches have talked to her about this and put their expectations. I just want to make sure she isn't going to just hang out (so to speak) while the 18 newbies are getting all the coaching. DD has a lot that needs to be tweeked. Mainly pointed toes etc.
What would you all do. Am I being a crazy gym mom? or should I be concered. Like I said she has stepped up her training and in two months really showed what she is capable of since they have engaged her. I was watching some of the newbies and there is a HUGE difference from them and dd. I know they will come along quickly but I don't want DD to have to wait for them.
Thanks for any advice.
