Nicola McLachlan, from Room 13, has been trampolining for 4 years. She has been in the competitive squad for 2 to 3 years.
On Saturday 28th November 2020, Nicola went to Christchurch School of Gymnastics for her Prizegiving in trampolining. She got a prize for the most memorable moment. This memorable moment was completing double somersaults. Nicola’s last try at doubles was about two years ago and she hurt herself. This resulted in a mental block for doubles and she didn’t want to try it again.
She always had a thing for overthinking tricks and thinking of the worst thing that could happen. She was about to quit trampoline altogether when she worked through her mental block and completed the double somersaults.
Nicola can now do double somersaults going forwards and backwards and is very proud of herself.
