Back in the Swing of Things

Guess what?! Ninja practice is back, and I couldn’t be more excited!

Last Thursday was my first practice of the season, and it was a big one for me. It was my first time back on the rig since I broke my arm. I was a little nervous, but mostly just super pumped to get back out there.

We rotated through a bunch of different stations, but my absolute favorite was working on laches! What’s a lache, you ask? It’s only the coolest move ever! You swing on a bar, let go completely, fly through the air like a superhero, and then grab the next bar. The further the bars are apart, the harder it is.

And guess what? I nailed a 4-foot lache! It felt amazing to fly through the air like that again. The best part? My arm felt totally fine! Not even a tiny ache. It feels so good to know it’s all healed up and ready for action.

It was the perfect first practice back. Now, I’ve got my eye on a new prize for this season: the fly-away. That’s where you swing off a bar, do a full backflip, and stick the landing. It’s a huge goal, but I’m ready to work for it.

Watch out, world, the ninja is back!
