Look Whos Back!

Today was a great day, I have not done any type of activity that involved my left hand, since I broke it. But today was a new day I woke up motivated to try some hand stands and hand walking. It was a success. I held a hand stand for over a minute today and it felt great. I swear breaking my hand is probably the best thing that could have happened to me. I guess its true you really can't appreciate something until its gone. I can not wait to get back into the gymnastics gym. I have been looking up cool new things to learn on the floor, along with tones of new drills to try on the bars. But we will see how soon I can return to hanging from bars after my follow up appointment with my surgeon and my physical therapist.
Either way I can not wait to get a pole vault pole back into my hands. I emailed my coach today and we are meet on the 2nd for practice. I can not even wait to start jumping again and try all the new ideas I have in mind. I have been watching vault videos and comparing and contrasting to mine, my first step towards success will be to get my foot down at take off and really hitting the pole rather than letting it do all the work. I need to start really moving that pole and keep moving it rather than just getting picked up and letting it fling me. I am able to get to vertical well but if I start working "against" the pole I will be able to get to vertical earlier, putting me in a better position to come off the top with higher peek height. But first things first, seeing if I can even bend a pole. Hopefully, in little less than a week I will be able to. "Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard"
