The End Of Gymnastics-Personal Narrative

So far in my life I haven’t really had any memorable experiences to share, but I know that Gymnastics has been a big part of my life. I have been doing gymnastics for about 10 years. Been doing competitive gymnastics for at least six years and have joined USAG league three years ago. And can I say it has been a GREAT part of my life. A major lesson in life I have learned in this sport is to never give up and be confident. It sounds a little cheesy but I have learned that if you just put your mind to it you can accomplish lots of things. Once I came to high school, I had expected it too be a lot worse then I had imagined but I have enjoyed it so far. The people are nice and since Northwood is very small I’ve gotten to know lots of amazing and

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

Many say they would, many say they wish they could, and many say they would not change their past. We are all unique containing different experiences and lessons all of which have shaped who we are today. People try to be who they want to be by taking control of their lives. I realized I needed to control my life after always putting people's needs before mine (use something else that relates more to the essay).

When Simone was six years old, she went on a daycare field trip to Bannon's Gymnastix. She was having fun and started copying other gymnasts in the back of the gym. One of the coaches, Ms. Ronnie saw her and told Coach Aimee. They sent a letter home to her parents. Simone started taking recreational classes and the rest is history.

Another admirable quality of Marissa’s is her extreme courage. When she was three years old she volunteered to go first on the balance beam in her gymnastics class. When the rest of her peers cowered in fear, Marissa rose to occasion and gracefully walked across the beam suspended two inches off the ground. Inspired by Marissa’s courage the rest of the gymnastics class crossed the beam. It was Marissa’s courage that allowed her to lead her fellow gymnasts to the other side of the

“Gold medals are made out of your sweat,blood and tears and the effort in the gym everyday” (‘’Gabby Douglas quote’’). In this quote,Gabby is saying when you work hard,get hurt and sweat.The medal you receive is from all your hard work and dedication for being a gymnast.Gabby Douglas is a game changer because she was the first african american to ever win the gold medal title in gymnastics.

After seven years of being a competitive gymnast, I have lost count of amount of times someone has said “Well, gymnastics isn’t technically a sport.” Obviously, these types of comments would send me over the edge with rage and frustration as I struggled to wrap my mind around how someone could so easily degrade the tireless effort I put into something every single day. I struggled to understand how someone could compare his or her one hour practice twice a week to my four hours six times a week. It took serious self-control to restrain from blurting out nasty petty comments such as “I’d love to see you try it”. I got overly frustrated wondering how people could compare throwing a ball to doing multiple flips in the air. As the only competitive gymnast in my grade throughout middle and elementary school, I found comfort with swimmers. We were all told what we did didn’t technically count

Her parents, who both played sports, encouraged her to start playing at a young age. The first sport she played was soccer which helped her make friends and become more social. She was on a competitive soccer team, and they were at the end of the year tournament in Kansas City, Kansas. They got into the championship game. During the game, both teams scored two goals, so they went into overtime, and a second overtime. No one scored during either overtime so they went into a shoot out. Abbey was the third person on her team to shoot, and she was the first to miss. The other team missed so Abbey’s team won. Soccer made her more confident and started her interest in sports.

My brain goes silent. I forget my problems, my issues, my struggles, and everything that makes me feel dead inside. Nothing gives me more hope and happiness, then running on floor to hanging on a bar. From the darkness inside comes a light that feels like an eternal flame that can never be extinguished. Nothing can stop me from feeling more alive. Starting gymnastics has been the best decision I have ever made and has made me the person I am today. With every move, every skill, and every moment, gymnastics makes me feel alive.

Some kids don’t play sports. Other kids do sports that help them meet new people, be active, earning strength, and learn discipline. Lots of sports take strength, for example gymnastics and football. Gymnastics works out every bone in the body. Strength, discipline and having bones not break as easily all comes with joining gymnastics. Gymnastics is a very important sport.
