I'll start with an observation. My daughter was doing well last year on beam. Then, in her second to last meet, she fell off of the beam. Beam has been her roughest routine since then. On the other hand, she used to struggle a lot with bars. At state, she had the bar routine of her life (a totally unexpected 2nd place! *proud papa*). Since then, she has been doing great on bars, tightening up her form and looking beautiful and fluid for the first time in her brief gymnastics career.
My first question is this: have you guys seen a flip-flopping of a gymnast's toughest routine like this? And my second question: if it is about confidence, how does a gymnast gain back lost confidence most effectively?
