We enjoy this short break because this is our chance to set our minds free from schoolwork and focus on working hard in the gym and keeping ourselves healthy and well rested for the week.  Of course, because we have some free time, we plan to go shopping, too!  We always have a great time during break and make the best out of it.  For example, on Monday, our team is heading over to Bel-Pre Elementary School to read to the children and perform a brief demonstration of gymnastics!  We are looking forward to seeing the big smiles on their faces.

Although the season seems to be winding down, the Terps are just getting started.  We had another season high this past weekend during our dual meet at Penn State, where we scored a 195.50 as a team!  Plus, we had quite a few individual season highs as well!  There is not a better time to let the pieces come together than this!  We are peaking at the perfect moment -- this is our time to shine!  Last week's motto for practice was to find the energy and confidence from within ourselves and let it out.  After the performance we had against Penn State, I would say that we conquered that and more!  This week in practice we are giving every bit of our hearts because we are preparing to DOMINATE at the EAGL Championships in Pittsburgh, Pa., this upcoming weekend.  We have always had the team chemistry, the skills, the talent, and the heart.  But what we have been missing was the combination of all of those aspects, and we finally have that now. 

Thanks for reading and stay tuned in for next week's Tumble Talk!

Go Terps!

Love,

Stephanie :)
