The comp season is upon us again with the first Interclubs for the year just beginning. So it’s time to start thinking about what’s important on the day… You’ve got your leotard, makeup and hair all sorted, you know the routines back-to-front and inside out, you’ve fixed all the things your teacher told you to fix, you’ve been eating well, sleeping well, stretching, practising, working towards your personal goal and you’re 100% mentally prepared.

You’ve arrived at the comp, got your number pinned on, lipstick applied and you can hear the music. The butterflies are all flying in formation. You haven’t forgotten anything… or have you?

Oops! Did you remember to wish your friend “Good Luck”?  Your physie friend – the one that’s always there for you, win or lose.  Don’t forget her, she’s nervous too. Physie friends are the best kind of friends a girl can have and the two things that friends want to hear the most are “Everything will be okay” and “I’m there for you”.  So remember, at your next competition, enjoy the support of your physie friends – coz they’ve got your back.  And make sure you’ve got theirs…
