Most Improved Tumbler


We had several names down as to who we though should receive the Tumbling Program’s “Most Improved Award”. We saw some great increases in ability, effort and enthusiasm this year in many of our athletes but the one who seems to have overcome the most is Connor Salmon. Connor is a first year provincial tumbler who moved up from the tumbling developmental program this time last year. Connor is the strong, silent type kid who rarely offers up even a glimpse of emotion so when Connor started stopping in his tumbling this year we were hard pressed to get out of him what the problem was. We are not sure we ever figured it out really but Connor continued to work hard, he revelled in the conditioning part of training and was always trying his hardest to provide us with some ideas to help him. Through patience and perseverance Connor has managed to work past his stopping problem and is heading in the right direction for next weekend’s “year-end” tumbling competition and ultimately for a long career in tumbling.
Congratulations to Connor Salmon for his effort and improvement over the 2009/2010 season
