you must be one proud mom!

I am. But I pushed her REALLY hard back then. I can't say I regret it, but I can say that when I look back on it, I pushed TOO hard for progression and didn't focus enough on the perfection first. I was lucky that she didn't end up hurting herself. :/ Now that I'm at a gym that focuses so much on technique, I can see where I failed her some back then. She really struggles with standing tumbling because we never took the time to make her BHS's sharp and clean and pushed her on to bigger and harder tumbling skills way too fast. :/ So while I am super proud that she was able to accomplish such hard skills so quickly, I do wish I had let her perfect things first. :)

Thanks coaches who didn't care about tumbling! You helped a lot in helping me reach my goal of cheering in college!
