Outline

I.               Orientation

a.     My soft purple leotard, water bottle, and extra hair ties were neatly packed into my gym bag. 

b.     Joan's Olympic gym run by Miss Joan herself, is where I trained and attended meets for 4 years. My coaches were Alexis for beam and vault , Sarah for floor and Kassie for the uneven bars.

II.             Complication

a.     It wasn't my first year in gymnastics anymore and I still couldn't land my vault or cartwheel into a round-off. 

b.     I was afraid of falling off the vault or not having a safe transfer from the vault to the table.The springboard and the speed I ran at would produce too much power. 

c.      My cartwheel round-off move for my floor routine was extremely difficult to land. My cartwheel had to be perfect and I had to get over the fact that I wouldn't see my landing until I after I actually landed. 

III.           Resolution

a.     I spoke to my coaches about what skills I needed to complete before I was comfortable landing my moves. By taking apart the move and focusing on each part, I was able to learn the move in steps instead of just one big move.
b.     Imply narrative effect.
