Am I too old to start gymnastics?

Question

I used to do gymnastics as a child but at the time my family wern't able to make the time commitments. As I'm older now (14) I feel as if I'm ready to make the commitments myself and start attending regularly but I don't know if I'm too old. What do you think? I know that I'd try my hardest as well, and I feel like I need to use the energy I have because its going to waste. Help?

Answer 1

Movement is mentality and the soul of a movement, not what is the right time to start gymnastics! Bless you!

Answer 2

no your never too old to start a sport... yeah you might not make the olympics but who caresa...if you love it then go for it noone is stopping you !

Answer 3

you probably will not be able to make it to the olympics but you could probably try and compete some other way but if you are really flexible and are good stretching and really want to make the commitment then i would say go for it. there was a 33 year old woman competing in the gymnastics in the olympics so i dont think you are too old yet

Answer 4

If you really want something, you can achieve it if you work hard and are determind! It doesn't matter how old you are! If you want to do it, go for it and reach for the stars!!!

Answer 5

your never too old to start anything that u want to do. i say go for it

Answer 6

Do it! Who cares how old you are? As long as your having fun, it doesn't matter. And don't say you'll never be good enough for the Olympics, because you really don't know that. Good luck!

Answer 7

well it all depends on what you are wanting to do with the gymnastics training in the future. If this would be something you just do for fun or maybe compete in small competitions than no, you're not to old.  You can do anything you want to do.  As long as it is something you are willing to put the time and effort into.  If it is something you were hoping could make you the next olympic champion because you just seen them on television...then i would say you are probably to old to get that far with it..but then again...some strange sh*t has happened in this world so i guess you couldnt totally rule that out either.  Have Fun!!!

Answer 8

Answer 10

no, you are definitely not too old! just keep in mind that there will be younger children ahead of you, but as long as that doesn't bother you and it's something that you want to do, that's great! i say go for it :)

Answer 11
