Level 10 /college gymnastics question?

Question

what are the chances of a 16 year old guy in good shape to start from scratch in gymnastics and achieve level 10 before college. Is it possible for somebody who is halfway through high school to start gymnastics and get good enough within that small amount of time to compete in the NCAAs among other colleges?

Answer 1

It would be extremely difficult, but not impossible.  I would say you would definitely need a natural talent for it, however.

Answer 2

It really depends on how strong you are and how much you love the sport..I got my back hand spring within 3 months of gymnastics because floor was my favorite event and i practiced it a TON. You really need to be able to listen to your coach and understand directions and technique, and actually watch some gymnastics in Youtube too! Before you start, you might want to do some weight lifting and abdominal strengthening so you'll be able to pick up some skills a lot quicker. Gymnastics is awesome, commit to it!

Answer 3

u would have to eat, breath, and sleep gymnastics (basically)!!! and you'll need all the commitment in the world, but it's not impossible
