This is just a quick little post to update you on how things are going in my gym. We’re smack – bang in the middle of competition season at the moment, so everyone is busy in the gym from coaches to gymnasts to parents and to the admin! My girls are competing in a level which has set moves based mainly on strength and flexibility. They’re all brilliant little girls who each deserve a medal so much. I’ve put a lot of work in with them over the last few weeks and we are coming extremely close to “C – Day “now. I took the approach to be less of their friend and be more of strict coach for the last few weeks, it’s really made a huge difference to them. I’ve pushed them a lot and given them a lot of exercises to do at home. So both gymnasts and coach have equally been putting in a lot of work.

 At last weeks training, we judged the girls on their performance, amazingly, they really pulled through. It seems that I have a group who step up when there’s pressure or competition involved. One of my gymnasts, who is rather shy, has really come out of herself in the last few weeks and is performing amazingly confident routines and really showing off – I see a future star!

 I’m looking forward to the competition and I know that they will do their very best, for the first time they will be competing in their own club so hopefully they will feel more comfortable in familiar surroundings and equipment.  I’m really proud of my girls and wish them the very best of luck! Fingers crossed we’ll have some National Finalists too!!
