Robin had an amazing cheerleading practice today. It was almost two hours of solid conditioning, and it was HARD WORK. He had them doing squats while carrying their teammates on their backs. Robin kept looking up at me in disbelief, but she did it. The only thing she didn’t manage to do was a back handspring. He wanted her to do it without help and she stood there for a two full minutes trying to psych herself up and never did it. She was holding her own until that point, and left practice pretty miserable. She’ll get it, even if she needs to stand there for two hours to make herself do it. Once she sees she can do it, it’ll be easier. I’ll keep sending her good vibes.
