This week to accomplish I was at practice everyday with my coach and teammates. We focused on sticking 10 perfect routines on each event. When we were on each even we would have our coach watch 5 of our routines and another teammate watch the other 5. After each routine we had to go do 15 of our corrections. Corrections are something in the routine we messed up. For example on beam if I did a back tuck and fell off that would be a correction and I had to stick 15 before doing another routine. If we finished that we did our up grades or harder skills for each event. Our conditioning for each event is focused on the muscles we use most for that event. We did that most of the week and ending practice with an hour of different conditioning every day. During our hour of conditioning we sprinted 6 miles and then we focused on one part of the body each day. So on Monday we sprinted the 6 miles and then we only did arm conditioning Tuesday was abs Wednesday was leg and so on.
On Wednesday my coach had a judge come to watch our routines. For each event we did a routine to warm up and we showed the judge like we were at a real competition. After our routine the judge gave us a score but the only thing we did differently from a real competition is that after our routine we talked to the judge so she could tell us our corrections. She fallowed us to all four events and when she left we went back to each event to stick 5 routines.
Dude. I am tired after just reading about all the work you are putting in. Good job so far. What are you learning about yourself throughout this process?
