yay today I got a ring jump ON BEAM! i think i might compete it friday but i am not sure yet because I want to get confident with the skill first. so yeah but i am really excited!!

That's cool. Usually wouldnt you wait a little longer before using a skill in a competition? When is your next competition after this one? I would personally think you should do like you said and get more used to it and confident with it, unless you just flat seem to do fine on it a huge % of the time already.

my next two meets are tomorrow and the 21st. i have been putting it in my routine everytime and i make it probably umm 95% of the time i would say! i worked on beam a TON today too and i am really confident with it my coach says i should do it and my teammates think it looks good so yeah! i cant wait

I would say use it in competition. Only way to get that confidence is to use it when it really counts. Even if you fail the first time, the second go round will be much easier. Best way to get better is thru experience.

Good Luck

Well hopefully she did well in the comp. I am sure it is much tougher than you would think when practicing though.

well i DID IT AND MADE IT! but it wasnt my best one since i was nervous i was a little shaky!

Great Job Megan. Now next time it will be easier next time you get up there. Probobly will nail it the next time as well. Way to take the chance and go for it.
