Hi SWG fans!!

It's been another exciting week here! We've been doing more and more gymnastics and everyone is looking awesome. One of the highlights has been seeing all the new floor routines perfected. The girls are really starting to perform them. The last two Friday's we've been doing dance throughs with a word in mind, and then as we watch we try and guess the word that the person is performing. It's been really fun to do and has helped everyone get more in to their routines. We continue to do a lot of pressure sets, and are really improving. A highlight this week was Carly on beam. We were going for 3 beam sets with 3 tenths in deduction total, and the two first girls had done decent routines, but little mistakes. She needed to hit a perfect routine... And oh my, it was beautiful!!! It's so exciting to see everyone doing big gymnastics and doing it consistently well.

We've been talking a lot about confidence this week. How to build it in ourselves and each other. And as I look around the gym, I do see it building. You can see it in the girls performances. Everyone is starting to believe. To believe in themselves, their abilities, the team, the plan and the goals. That is fun to be a part of. As a group we are looking stronger and continue to improve each and every day. This is a hard working, fun, and committed team. I can't wait to see what amazing things will happen in the weeks and months to come! Check in again next week and see how this amazing group of women is progressing towards their goals!

Go CARD!!!
