🚫 Leveling up too quickly can slow down your progress

Many people think that being placed in a higher tier will automatically motivate them 💪. But the reality is different:

• ❌ If the elements are too difficult, you risk stagnating.

• ⚠️ You may become less involved in certain parts of the routine.

• 🩹 It's also a risk to your safety and that of your teammates.

💡 It's better to excel at your current level than to "rush" to a level that's too high.

The philosophy of the clubs

Each club has its values 💬:

• 🎯 Build high-performing teams from the start of the season.

• 🕒 Place athletes according to what they can do at tryout time .

• ⭐ Reserve “exceptions” only when necessary to complete the team.

⏳ Progress takes time

An athlete does not level up every year, and that's normal ✅ .

📌 Golden rule for coaches: 3 years per level

1️⃣ 1st year → learn the basics 📚

2️⃣ 2nd year → start to master 🏋️

3️⃣ 3rd year → excel and move to the next level 🚀

🔄 Development doesn't just happen in team training

To evolve, you also have to work outside:

• ⛺ Participate in performance camps.

• 🤸♂️ Tumbling, strength training, flexibility.

• 🎉 Go to open gyms to practice in a fun and safe environment.

🕊️ Patience pays off

• Coaches think about safety, progression and overall performance.

• The goal 🎯: to place each athlete where they can succeed and excel.

• The right level at the right time = more fun ❤️ and more success 🏅.

💡 In short : trust the process 🙌, work hard 🔥 and let the progression happen naturally 🌱.
