A Physie Story
My precious daughter, who could barely walk properly at 2, who has Cerebral Palsy, came to me when she was 5 and said ‘ … Mummy, I want to be like Angelina Ballerina’ and my heart sank! How could I let this little girl believe that she couldn’t! After a year or so I heard the word Physie for the first time in my life and I was 43!!! So, I took her. I was so scared I could hardly talk, my daughter was so excited she could hardly talk too – and there was Cheryl, who smiled at me and said ‘of course she can’ and she did ? ! My gorgeous, shy, tempestuous, special daughter donned a leotard and competed in a Physie team at State level that year … 2 years on … Her Mummy was in a beginners team that achieved 4th place! Describing the confidence and self belief that the practice of Physie engenders is difficult! My suggestion is take a deep breath, step out, point your toes and smile – who knows where you will end up!
