The Power of Yet in Gymnastics
Emma loved gymnastics. She admired the older gymnasts who could flip and twirl with such grace. But every time she tried to do a backflip, she would fall. It was so frustrating!
One day, her coach, Miss Lisa, saw her sitting on the mat, looking sad. "What's wrong, Emma?" she asked.
"I can't do a backflip," Emma sighed. "I keep falling."
Miss Lisa smiled and said, "You can't do a backflip yet."
Emma looked puzzled. "Yet?" she asked.
"Yes," Miss Lisa replied. "Yet means you are still learning. It means you will get there if you keep practicing and believing in yourself."
Emma decided to give it another try. She practiced every day after school. She fell many times, but each time she remembered Miss Lisa's words: "You can't do a backflip yet."
Weeks passed, and one sunny afternoon, Emma finally did it! She landed her backflip perfectly. She ran to Miss Lisa, beaming with pride. "I did it!"
Miss Lisa hugged her. "See? You just needed to believe in the power of yet."
Emma learned that day that with hard work and the right mindset, she could achieve anything she set her mind to. She couldn't do a backflip at first, but she could do it yet.
