Life as a Gymnast

Gymnastics is a breath-taking, butt-kicking, unbelievable sport. If you think gymnastics is easy, think again. It is the toughest sport in the world. Not only does it work your body physically it works your brain mentally. You have to think about what you are doing at all times. You always need to pay attention to your form. Point your toes, straighten your knees, lock your arms and many more. If you don't, you can, at times, severely hurt yourself. It's very hard juggling in homework and gymnastics into your schedule. Especially when you get into the higher levels. Then, it increases your gymnastics schedule. You also have to deal with injuries that can cause you to miss out on weeks of gym time. Everyday is very important in the gymnastics world because everyday you are training for your competition season. Competitions are very important because every time you have a meet, the same judges are usually there. So, when you make it to States, Regionals, or Nationals they know to look out for you because they are aware of your talent. Also, girls from other gyms will know of you and that creates competition. There are lots of important benefits by doing gymnastics. Watch it on the upcoming Olympics 2012!
