yirong is a happy girl today =)

first training (22 oct 2008):
tried 3 assisted bhs at the end of visit to aces training
didnt know how much to jump
xp was using alot of strength
but at least i overcame my phobia!
xp felt that i need abt 3 months to do a good bhs
that is if i train every week..

second training (1 nov 2008):
tried bhs on my own after a few assisted ones
managed to do it but i dun have much of a 'feel' to it
to me, gymnastics is all about feeling
without the 'feel'
my bhs had been quite inconsistent
but i promised myself i will train hard for a robhs

third training (8 nov 2008):
feeling so tired and weak cos of menses
but i was rarely so determined
(ya i know..)
so i still decided to try bhs after like an hour of warm up
and i managed to 'feel' something!
confirming that my bhs had been quite consistent at the end of the day
i decided to go all out to try robhs
not afraid of dying
i managed to do a few okay ones
but i still didnt get the feel
and i would say i am still pretty scared to do it
phobias are supposed to be overcame
i will try harder next time!

you never know how scared i was to do a bhs
i could do a robt
but i didnt even dare to do an assisted bhs!
phobia resulting from wrist and back injuries
old and weak enough
i was too afraid to break my bones again
those who are close to me would have known..
and i know you are feeling so proud of me now! hehe

being scared is never the best way to solve problems
injuries are inevitable in almost any kind of sports
especially in sports like gymnastics and cheerleading
being in both of the sports before
i know how much trauma an injury could bring
but at the end of the day
being scared will bring you nowhere near your goal
and it might even drag other people down if it is a team sports
affecting everyone's morale and spirit
just hope that everyone can overcome whatever phobia you have
be responsible to yourself
be responsible to your teammates
trust yourself and most importantly trust your teammates
they are the ones who catch you when you fall
