P
Pickle's Mom
After an overall successful season, Pickle’s final two meets didn’t go as well as she hoped they would. There were high points, but there were also falls on skills that she had previously done very well. Neither of these meets was a complete disaster (she was over 36 AA at both). But she didn’t live up to her own standards.
At yesterday’s meet, after a fall on bars (which is usually her strongest event) she was pretty much inconsolable. This was her last event at her last meet of the season. All night she just looked dejected and beaten down. Finally I let her take a candlelit bath and cuddle in bed with me and she seemed a lot better.
She needs to get through a fall at a meet without tears. How do I help her with this? My heart was just breaking for her last night.
Any advice is appreciated.
