Who is a gymnast?

Question

just wondering who else loves gymnastics? im doing it for my high school this year...its not my first time doing gymnastics ever. i started when i was 5, quit when i was like 7...then started up again when i was like 8 or 9 until i was 10 or 11. and from the ages of 12 to 15 (which i am about to turn 16 in less than a month) i have been tumbling =]

so i have some experience, but i have not competed ever! so does anyone have any advice on how to be a good gymnast? my best friend competed in gymnastics from the ages of 11 to 15...and she hasnt done it in about a year and a half now...she'll be 17 in december...she'll be better than me no matter what...she's going to join the team with me...but i wanted to know if any gymnasts out there have any advice of how to train hard and take it seriously and become as good as possible. help please?

thank you all.

Answer 1

if u really love it, make it your first priority. train your tricks and have confidence in yourself, but dont get cocky, cause you'll hurt yourself. i did gymnastics for a really long time, and i find that u just gotta do some deep breathing and u have to make sure all your tricks are the best possible. its VERY time consuming.
