Well - my title says it all! She had a great L4 year last year, finishing 3rd AA at states. DD, age 10, is approaching her first L5 meet in 3 weeks and is very nervous. For reasons I don't understand, her gym only began teaching the L5 routines about 4 weeks ago. I know they know most of the sequences, but they never actually put it all together until then. Now they are talking of scratching some girls in some events and this has DD very upset.
So, at what point do I try and help and how? Currently she practices 7.5 hours a week and is begging to do more. She learned some fun skills at camp this past summer and apparently has most for the L6 skills down, but doesn't know her L5 routines on floor and she is getting frustrated.
Should I show her youtube videos to watch? Are there some type of printed info she can study?
I don't want to be overbearing and god knows I am not a coach so this seems like a fine line. I'd appreciate some advice please.
Thanks.
