The Effects Of Doing Gymnastics

Imagine walking on a four-inch piece of wood that is four feet off the ground, or flying through the air performing skills people only dream of doing. Gymnastics is a sport that taught me many things including, how to preserve through difficult situations and how to overcome my fears. I did gymnastics for ten years before I decided that the sport was too stressful and time consuming.

My bestest friends Megan, Allie and Kylee all were super kindhearted and cheered me on!

For my report I decided to do it on gymnastics. My report will include the history about gymnastics. I will talk about how to do gymnastics and the benefits for doing gymnastics. I will also explain how I am involved in gymnastics. In the late eighteenth-and the early nineteenth-century gymnastics began. It started in Germany. Johann Friedrich Gutsmuths and Friedrich Ludwig Jahn created gymnastics. It is different now because back then they did not have all of the things that we have now. To do gymnastics, you need lots strength and flexibility. Some of The rules for gymnastics are that on floor you have to stay inside the line so if you are doing flips on the floor when you land you must be inside the line Gymnastics is good for you because

Coaching gives me so much joy as I help other gymnasts achieve their goals while giving

This was me a year ago, someone who wished they could change the past. As an early adolescent I felt that I was not in control of my life. Gymnastics had that control. I started gymnastics at the age of 3 and rapidly progressed. From the age of 6 I was in the gym seventeen hours a week - even longer as I got older and was moved up to the higher levels. It was an environment where there was no crying, no whining and no quitting - we wanted to so badly, especially me. I was injured multiple times a week and my body ached, but still kept strong and did not quit. While homework was

Gymnastics is a very difficult sport that takes a lot of commitment. 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. Although the sport has several positive health benefits on the body, it also puts gymnasts at a very high risk of injury. It is not very common for these injuries to be severe, however, if they are not treated properly it is likely for them to lead to chronic pain and even bone fractures.

Benefits include; joint protection and improved mobility which is important as we age. Other benefits include better posture, increased stamina and increased bone density reducing the risk of osteoporosis.

         For years gymnastics has been a sport that many children participate in. But as the years have gone by it has turned into something other than a place for kids to grow and learn. Its overwhelming commitment has continued to replace kids’ childhoods with stress, mental and physical pain and eating disorders. Many results have come from this change in the gymnastics society. Gymnasts have come to a point where they have been told and directed to understand that winning is the only important factor in gymnastics. “ It’s about the elite child athlete and the American obsession with winning that has produced a training environment wherein results are bought in at any cost, no matter how

Over the many years I’ve spent doing gymnastics, I’ve become a determined and motivated individual. Always striving to do better in everything I do, whether it 's in my routines or raising my grades on every exam. To be the best in gymnastics, it not only takes having the routine with the most difficulty, but being able to perform those skills with precision, which takes endless practice and repetition. First or second place could be set apart by a hundredth of a tenth based on even the smallest imperfection such as a foot not being pointed.

I can still recall the day my dad snuck me out of the house like a refugee to go to gymnastics tryouts; the air was packed with tension from every girl desperately wanting what it takes to succeed at this crazy sport. I was one of the most ecstatic little girls when I heard I made the cut with a grin on my face that stretched from ear to ear. Since the

Attention, all moms of Greece, NY! Has your child expressed an interest in recreational gymnastics, but is he or she is afraid to try? Do you see your child excelling in an encouraging, supportive, and challenging athletic environment, but are you hesitant to take the first steps? At The Victors Gymnastics, instructors believe that fear can become a healthy emotion—it’s all about how you frame it.

I grew up in a gymnastics facility, practicing up to 30 hours a week from ages 7 to 16. I worked hard, gave up social events, and did my best to balance school and sports, being a student-athlete and all… And I am not too proud of it, but I’d call myself more of an athlete-student.

Using my old experience and old habits I had become just as good or even better than before. As I was on the freshman team for gymnastics, I had brushed off the rustiness from the break that I had taken. Even though the sport is as not tough and rough as club, I still felt the rush that I did before. As I take the skills and lessons that I learned from club gymnastics, I still work just as hard and have just as much fun. As freshman year continued, I started to remember the habits and the reasons why I loved this sport. With a different coach and new teammates, I still felt at home. Jumping back onto the equipment was like riding a bike, even though I was a little rusty at first, I will always remember what was taught to me. Throughout freshman year I have improved and grown potential that I hope to apply later in life and later in gymnastics. I push for new skills and moves every day, but most importantly the sport makes me feel
