Tournament? Bring her to gymnastics instead

[@everlymonae]

Thank you. 🙏🏽 She did gymnastics for 3 years and was on a developmental comp team. She enjoys the sport of Taekwondo much better. It’s higher paced which she needs. She may return to gymnastics one day as it’s a great base for all sports.

@@everlymonae maybe that's why I thought it would fit perfect to her. Doesn't wanted to sound straight forward. But my English is just enough for that I guess. Wish her the best for the future

Thank you so much for the well wishes. 🙏🏽 No worries at all. 🫶🏽 Gymnastics was her world before TKD but she can’t sit still for prolonged periods and her teammates weren’t at her level so it was continuous basics. She taught herself her back walkovers, back handsprings etc and her coaches refused, possibly for insurance reasons, to help her learn them technically correctly at the facility. The last year was pretty much the same thing over and over as new kids joined the class. It was frustrating for her and we parents agreed with her and pulled her. Taekwondo has been a great fit and she loves her school. What we like about the tournament setting is we try to put her in more uncomfortable situations. So far she never gets nervous about anything. We hope that continues through continuous encouragement and keeping it fun.
