HI-- New to this site and forum--has been really interesting to read some of the threads! There are lots of folks posting whose gymnasts are amazing-- lots of 35 and 36AA scores. Posting to see if others like me have had to adjust expectations (and their kids have had to as well) because perhaps those high scores don't look like they are coming anytime soon. My 8 yo DD who is moving from a rec league to USAG and just had her first L5 meet scored a bit above a 31 AA. And while she may increase her scores over time, it is hard for her to see how she will be able to attain really high scores at this point. She is a super-hard worker in the gym and out, so even with the hard work, her scores were lower than what she expected. She loves gymnastics and I don't want her to get discouraged. Any tips for getting her to focus internal instead of on scores? Anyone in similar situation?
We are so proud of her for doing what she does-- and love watching her-at L5 her skills are pretty fun to watch--the front tuck, RO BHS back tuck, etc (you can tell I am not a former gymnast and don't really know the terminology). Just want to get some tips for those whose gymnasts have not been at the top score wise. thanks
