My daughter is a 1st year level 9 and will be a very low level 9, really an 8 1/2, lol. She has always been very successful but is struggling lately, especially with bars. She got her period about 9 months ago and probably gained about 20-25 pounds in the past year and grew a little taller. I know all of this makes for relearning skills and difficulty with gymnastics. My daughter’s favorite event has always been bars. Now, she really can’t even do her level 8 bar routine successfully. She says her tap is off in her giant. She also had to change them because she was close to hitting the bar. My questions are; how long does it usually take girls to recover from all of this, are there girls that can never overcome it, what are some things I can do/say to help support her?
Her coach is being very supportive and says she’s still working hard everyday. I think he’s worried she’ll get frustrated also. He says we just need to keep reminding her to be patient.
Thanks for your help! Sorry for rambling!
