The sun is bright today. Max goes to the sports centre. He wears his red number 7. His blue goggles stay up.
A low wooden beam waits inside. A soft blue mat sits under it. Jo stands with her whistle.
Max steps onto the beam, slowly. His legs shake. His arms wobble. He feels stiff. He cannot stretch.
Jo blows her silver whistle, softly. She smiles and shows one trick. Be calm and slow, like a cat.
Jo stands by the beam, steady. She reaches her arms out wide. She breathes slow. She shows balance.
Max stands on the mat first. He spreads his arms out wide. He takes slow breaths and smiles.
Max steps onto the beam again. He looks ahead. He spreads arms. He is calm. He feels steady.
He bends a little, like a cat. He stretches down. His fingers touch air. He stands tall and holds still.
He moves slow and light, still calm. The beam is firm under feet. The blue mat waits below.
His foot wobbles, just a little. He breathes in and steadies again. Jo nods and blows her whistle.
Max smiles with a proud grin. He feels loose and bendy now. He bends and balances like a cat.
He hops off with a proud smile. Jo claps and gives a hug. A warm sun shines on their day.
