The key to a good back flip is getting away from the diving board
Sometime it is tough to watch a 6 year old grow up because sometimes growing up hurts. This was his second back flip. He was very proud of his first effort which was pretty good but he did not make it all the way around. On this attempt he pushed to go faster and get a complete flip but forgot to go farther and ………… owwwww.
He tried to be tough but it really hurt. Once the tears went away I asked him if he was going to try it again and he shook his head - no. I said, “that’s ok, maybe tomorrow.” His reply, “maybe when I am seven”
