Leveling up is hard. Last year was my first year in the junior category. I compete in the competitive division and knowing that I would be the youngest in the category was very intimidating. I focused on self improvement over winning and it paid off. My judges scores consistently improved throughout the season. I took more time to focus on corrections versus adding tricks. I set a goal for myself to achieve by Nationals and I did achieve it.
This will be my second year in the junior category. I am excited to start the season knowing that I can hold my own in this category. I'm really excited about my new solos and cannot wait to see what I can achieve this season. My #1 goal is to continuously improve my technique this season.
