DAY 100 / 100. ๐Ÿ’•

100 days ago, I decided I was going to do five handstands every day.

500 handstands.

Some were good.
Some were really not. ๐Ÿ˜‚
Some were squeezed in at the end of very long days.
Some were done alone in an empty gym.

But I did them.

Every. Single. Day.

And for number 500, there was really only one way I wanted to finish.

With my gymnasts. ๐Ÿ’•

Because these are the kids I spend my days asking to try one more time.

To make one little correction.

To be brave enough to go again.

To understand that getting better isnโ€™t one big moment. Itโ€™s hundreds of tiny ones.

Turns out, Miss Jen needed the reminder too.

100 days. 500 handstands.

And one last one with my kids upside down beside me.

Day 100/100. We did it. ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ’•

Day 95/100.

All alone in my gym.
My happy place.

Getting things ready for September.
For new classes. New kids. New goals.
For another season of teaching other people to try hard things, fall down, and get back up.

And somewhere in the middle of all that preparation, five handstands for me.

95 days ago, I decided I was going to spend a little bit of every day upside down.

I didnโ€™t really know what 100 days would become.

But here we are.

Five days to go.

And I get to finish them in the place where Iโ€™ve spent so many years teaching everyone else that becoming happens one little thing at a time. ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ’•

Back to school means back to becoming. ๐Ÿ’•

When we choose an activity for our children, weโ€™re choosing more than something to put on the calendar.

Weโ€™re choosing where theyโ€™ll spend a little piece of their childhood.

Their afternoons matter.

Their coaches matter.

The places where they spend their time matter.

A few thoughts as we begin another year at RGA. ๐Ÿ

Five and six is a BIG age. ๐Ÿ

They're ready to do more on their own. Ready to be challenged. Ready to discover just how strong, brave and capable they can be.

Our School Age gymnastics classes are designed for exactly this stageโ€”learning handstands, cartwheels, bars, beam and more while building confidence, independence and the courage to keep trying when something is hard.

Because we're teaching gymnastics.
But we're also teaching them how to fall, get back up, and try again.
That's More Than Cartwheels.

Fall classes are enrolling now at Renaissance Gymnastics Academy in East Providence.

Day 75/100.

Well, would you look at that.

My handstands are actually getting better. ๐Ÿ˜‚

I didnโ€™t start this because I wanted to perfect my handstand.

I wanted to move.
To play.
To get stronger.
To see what would happen if I just kept showing up.

Turns out, doing something five times a day for 75 days actually makes you better at it.

Who knew? ๐Ÿ˜‰

75 daysโ€ฆ375 handstands later.

Maybe progress really is that simple.

Not perfect.
Not all at once.

Just a little bit, over and over again.

Day 72/100.

These two were gym besties.

They grew up together at RGA, graduated ten years ago, and today they came home to visit the gym โ€” and Miss Jen.

And, of course, we went upside down together. ๐Ÿ’•

Nobody said coaching was easy. ๐Ÿฅ
These duckies are some of our hardest-working staff members. Risking life and wing for our gymnasts since 2000! ๐Ÿ˜‚

She was four when we met.
Today she's nineteen.
Still training.
Still learning.
Now standing at the end of the beam, showing the next generation where to place their feet.
Somewhere in that line of little gymnasts is another future coach.
That's how a gym becomes a community.

Yesterday I shared that gymnastics has always been the place I run to.
Today, I found myself looking at the backpacks.
One day they'll be college bags.
Work bags.
Travel bags.
Maybe even diaper bags.
That's the privilege of coaching for a lifetime.
You don't just watch children learn gymnastics.
You get to watch them grow up.
My hope is that wherever life takes them...
RGA will always be a place they know they can come back to.

It's where you... become.
