let me start this post by saying that the forum will not let me do anythng but post new posts. I have sent emails with no response help... ok now to my post
Amber had meet number 2 at 5:45 pm tonight. So we had a good day, we knew amber would be tired because she goes to bed early. I try to get her to nap, no luck.
She falls asleep on the way to the meet (only 15 min away) and I had to give her mountain dew to wake her up.
So once again we draw floor first. Warm up looked better than last week. She is almost last, gets up does a much cleaner routine then last week and gets an 8.35 up from an 8.3.
Then to vault-it was hard to see but she got an 8.8 down from 9.05 and try explaining it is only.25 to an 8 year old.
Then bars. The routine was clean, she still does not have the 2 leg pullover so she starts with a large deduction..she does a great routine and takes 3 steps on the landing 8.25 but up from 8.0
Then to beam, that is where the story gets sad. So she is dead last on beam. Her best friend is having an amazing meet, she takes the beam and falls on the handstand..gets back up and wobbles through the entire routine. Then our number one beam girl takes the beam falls restarts the routine wobbles real bad amost falls again and gets a 7.8...she got a 9.5 last week. So both of the girls are hysterical..Then her other friend goes..wobbles..falls on the mount...also gets in the 7s. So then amber goes...three girls are sobbling...she mounts misses her foot a bit but gets up does her arebeque doesnt hold it enough and puts her foot down and goes back up(counts as a fall) then she does the most beautiful handstand and lands with a small wobble. She woubles a couple more times and gets an 8.25. She was devistated, last week she got a 9.4. She admitted she was upset about her teammates. Of the first year level 3s she is the oldest and like the den mother. So she came in 8 out of 8.
We went out to friendlys with her teammates and she is still bummed. He coach feels she is not working hard enough in practice. I think this will be motivation. I think the scores were not terrible anyway.
