Rhythmic or artistic gymnastics?

Question

I'm 12 and am trying to decide whether to do rhythmic or artistic. I'm naturally pretty flexible (though I'll probably need to start stretching) and have been doing artistic for about 3 years. I love it as a hobby I'm really close to the girls on my team but am afraid I won't be able to get far because I'm sometimes afraid to do new skills. After my awesome coach left this year I not sure whether I should go back. I can really only choose one, and I think I could do rhythmic pretty well, even though I'll probably miss the power and flips of artistic. Help anyone?

Answer 1

its worth trying rhythmic....especially if its in the same gym.....just try it out for a month and see how u like it.....if anything it might help with flex if u go back to artistic....coach changes r gunna happen....just gotta deal with it and move on....but dont let a coach quitting make u switch sports.....go with your heart!!!

Answer 2

keep with artistic i did for 6 years and i constantly changed coaches its just something  you have to live with. Its normal to be afraid of trying new skills but you have to trust that your coach is only gonna have you do things your capable of doing and they're not gonna let anything happen to you. good luck
