I posted a clip last week of Corey's first practice meet, during which I was thrilled that she just got out there and did her events without caving in to her performance anxiety. Well...this weekend she had her first "real" meet against other teams, and not only did she do well, but she actually medalled on the floor exercise, beating everyone on her own team in her age group and level, and even quite a few in the older age group. I was so thrilled for her! When it was all over and I asked her how she felt about the whole thing, she said her only regret was that there aren't any more meets for awhile because she loves to compete! Go figure. Anyway, we put her beam routine, as well as her floor routine up on youtube if anyone wants to check it out, though the floor routine is identical to the one most of you already saw. thanks for indulging my shameless bragging... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oN5iZX4whO0 -------------------- Jeanne "Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Chardonnay in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO, What a Ride!"

She looks very confident out there. And, she's extremely talented. I am so proud of her, I can imagine that you must be bursting at the seams!

Wow, she's sure got the wow factor...she doesn't even look nervous anymore, she's such a natural! Btw, I actually gasped a few times watching her on the beam...I don't know she does it. And I don't know how you do it, that would scare the daylights out of me. She's SO good and So cute! -------------------- Another mother's breaking heart is taking over When the violence causes silence We must be mistaken.... --The Cranberries

Usually, she's on a lower one. A few weeks back in practice, she did fall on the beam and shaved off a few layers of skin off of her outer thigh, like road rash. If you think the beam is scary, you should see the bars--THAT freaks me out, but the video we got of that was pretty crappy quality. Anyway, thanks guys, I am hugely relieved that we jumped that emotional hurdle. Looks like I'll be logging alot of hours at the gym from here on in...They're gonna miss me at the baseball fields... -------------------- Jeanne "Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Chardonnay in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO, What a Ride!"
