Missing Practice.

Some coaches are very strict on making sure that you never miss a practice or do anything fun. Lucky for me I have coaches that think you should have some fun as well as work hard, do well, and achieve goals. Sometimes skipping practice for a football game, dance, or vacation is okay, but sometimes missing practice is not acceptable. I do not think that missing a practice for something every once in a while is bad. The problem is when the gymnast is too lazy to come in a work out like they supposed to. Gymnastics is not a sport that you can half do. You have to be all in or all out, no where in between. Other times it takes a while to get back into shape when you are sick or if you are injured. It is important to come to every practice after that once you are well, and work as hard as possible to get back to the top of your game. But with a good coach and a positive team it can work out. I hope that with my surgury coming up that all of the people at the gym will be able to help me to gain back the stregth and energy that I need to do my routines well.
