Preparation For Competition Season!
One of the ways our coaches try to get the gymnasts ready for the up coming competition is mentally preparing ourselves. Not only do we need to get our bodies strong we also need to get our minds strong. The girls have been presenting weekly devotions, our theme of the month is Self-Discipline. So far 2 girls have shared their ideas on what Self-Discipline means to them. Here is a quote from Emily Andersen's explaination. "One word, Obedience. Try to make self-discipline a thing you always do and life would be much easier."
Beck Palmer also got a quote from Plato, "The first and best victory is to conquer yourself" In Gymnastics we talk a lot about how we are our biggest competition. We are also striving to get better through practicing hard and a positive attitude within ourselves and teammates. In order to achieve our goals in and out of the gym we need self discipline. Great Job ladies:)
Featured Gymnast: The gymnast who receives this honor throughout the year will be the girls with a good attitude, one who is working to get better at their personal goals while cheering on other teammates. This Gymnast may be nominated by another gymnast or a coach. We have a picture of the Featured Gymnast on the board in the gym along with a mini Biography. The first gymnast to receive this honor is Rachel Massie! Congrats
