Competition day is an exciting time for your athlete, but it can be equally overwhelming without a plan. Here’s a guide to help parents navigate the day with confidence and support their child:
1. Prep Like a Pro
The night before, pack all essentials: uniforms, shoes, hair piece, bobby pins, elastics, hairspray, snacks, and water. Double-check hair and makeup requirements, and set everything out for a stress-free morning.
2. Arrive On Time
Punctuality is key! Check the schedule and aim to arrive early. This gives your athlete time to warm up and stay focused.
3. Cheer Loud and Proud
Competition day is about celebrating effort and team spirit. Whether it’s a first-time performance or a seasoned routine, your positivity will mean the world to your child.
4. Fuel and Rest
Pack energizing snacks and encourage hydration. Support your athlete with breaks between performances and remind them to breathe and have fun.
5. Celebrate the Journey
Win or lose, focus on growth. Each competition is a step toward becoming more confident, disciplined, and team-oriented.
Support, preparation, and positivity will ensure competition day is memorable for your athlete and the entire family!
