My Journey: Trust the Process

[OnlyBeansOnToast]

It's 337 pages of fairly large type. I'm curious now if me summarizing Laurie's book would be longer or shorter than the original, as I've been accused of never seeing a detail I didn't think was vital.

IIRC, Laurie's is firmly pitched at the "10-year-old recreational gymnast with big dreams" demographic.

• During Leanne's twisties, added an involuntary half twist to every front layout. Began when she accidentally twisted once, then her body wouldn't stop doing it. Went back to drills and lower level skills and gave herself a break from it to get over it

Mine was literally this. I couldn't do any front somi without my body involuntarily swinging a half twist. Sometimes I would focus so hard on it that I would do a quarter twist one way and then try and quarter twist back the other way and land sideways. It was so annoying. In the end, it was "cured" by doing a half twist before the skill.

Did we land on who the "alternate" who was wishing for an injury was? That is steaming hot tea from Leanne.

Thanks for summarising this.
