Many children take on gymnastics at a young age and strive to become Olympic gymnasts by competing their whole lives, but not a lot of people are able to pursue that dream due to the challenges that come with being a gymnast. Coaches are currently conditioning and training their gymnasts at very demanding and advanced levels.

One of the extracurricular activities that made the most impact on my life is being a part of Pueblo Central Gymnastics. I joined the team my freshman year of high school. The practice were from 7-9 at night, and living two hours away, it made for quite a few long nights over the four years I participated. But through this experience, I have forever been impacted.

However, after the Roman conquest of Greece the importance of a sound mind in a sound body came to an abrupt end, leading to what was known as blood sports or as most people know them by, gladiatorial sports.

Growing up my mother made my twin brother and I do gymnastics for a couple of years at a gym near our home town. Being so young I though nothing of it and that it was fun because I was swinging, jumping, and bouncing into foam pits. My brother and I looking back at it were some of the only guys in the gymnastics class as the girls predominately outnumbered the guys.
