We are living in an epic time right now! Never before has our country gone through a crisis such as this one with the COVID-19 epidemic.
How are you handling this challenge?
Challenge creates opportunity. This is a time for you to be productive and create an opportunity. For those of you gymnasts who are in the recruiting process and have a dream to do college gymnastics or acro and tumbling, here are just a few things to think about and get your creative juices flowing!
Take a prep class for ACT/SAT to enhance your scores
Read a positive, motivational book
Work on your flexibility/strength/cardio
Practice your routines by visualizing and also beam & floor in front of the mirror (arm moves only)
Work handstand holds or presses and concentrate on body position
Challenge yourself to eat healthy – try a new recipe
Make a vision board
Set goals for when you return to the gym
Send a positive email/letter to your coaches and/or teammates
Research colleges with gymnastics – www.roadtonationals.com
Research colleges with Acro and Tumbling – www.thencata.com
Watch college teams on YouTube
Research majors that interest you
Help your parents or neighbors with yard work
Plant some seeds
Enjoy the time with family – work puzzles, play card/board games
If you are talking to college coaches because you are at the level of that school, continue to update them about how you are creating an opportunity. I had a client post recently that she was sewing masks for her family. What a great way to create an opportunity.
None of us want to be quarantined in our houses – we want to go to the gym, hang out with friends and family, and get back to our normal lives. But, since we are challenged with being quarantined, let’s create an opportunity!
