HUGE Day at Practice!

Boo had an amazing day at practice yesterday! She did a lot of work on the strap bar and it paid off big time! She got her giants!!!!! She didn’t even plan on doing them but she was getting such huge tap swings. She said when she almost hit a handstand, she knew she was going to be able to go over. And she did! Three consecutive giants!!! Woo hoo!!!! There is video posted on You Tube, although it’s terrible quality. Watch at your own risk. ;-)

And to follow that, coach had her working on clear hip circles by jumping from a block to the low strap bar, going around and pushing off to land back on the block. And she did it! She did about four of those. Yea! She had a fantastic day!!!

This comes at a great time, too. While she can do the back walkover on the floor beam, she is very nervous about trying to move it up to the low beam. She really wants to get that because then the coach will let her try front tucks off the beam into the pit and she’s confident that she can do those. But she’s got to get past her fear of the back walkovers on beam first. Cross your fingers and send her good back walkover vibes.

Two weeks to go until the first official level 5 meet….
