Lets Go!
I hope you are as excited as I am for the next 3 weeks!
Because we are a team in this, I hope your goals are the same as mine - to improve the stability, strength & flexibility of your ankle and foot, in less textbook(y) words we are rehabbing your previously injured ankle/foot/leg!
Give me your best effort in this and you'll surprise yourself, your parents and your coaches with your progress.
First Assignment: I need you to identify WHY you are about to work harder, do more, and spend time outside of the gym working toward a stronger ankle? What will you gain from doing so? Here are some common things I hear when I am working with a gymnast just like you:
- But I've been in a boot for so long...
- I just want to tumble!
- My balance has been so off since my injury.
- One side feels so much weaker than the other.
- I'm nervous that I am going to injure myself again...
All of the above are reasons to spend the next 3 weeks going through the GymnastFix's From Boot to Balance Beam! You'll gain strength, stability, confidence and balance all while reducing the chance that re-injury occurs.
Okay - Now you are ready! Each time you want to skip out on your GymnastFix remind yourself of you WHY!
What's the saying again? Oh yeah! Lets get this party started!!
