Dear parents, don't rush...

๐คธ PARENTS: WHAT DOES โA GOOD PRACTICEโ ACTUALLY LOOK LIKE?
Sometimes your gymnast comes out of practice excited because she got a new skill.
Sometimes she comes out and says:
โWe did the same thing AGAIN.โ ๐
And honestly? That might have been the better practice.
Because gymnastics isnโt built on how many new skills you can get.
Itโs built on how well you can do the ones you already have.
The straight legs.
The pointed toes.
The tight body.
The landing that doesnโt move.
The handstand that hits the same place over and over.
The routine they can do when theyโre tired, nervous, or having an off day.
New skills are exciting.
But repetition is where good gymnastics is made.
So if your gymnast says, โWe worked basics AGAIN todayโฆโ
Good. ๐
Her coaches probably know exactly what theyโre doing.
โค๏ธ Gym parents โ whatโs the one โboringโ drill or basic your gymnast has done approximately 10,000 times?
