Visualisation is a very powerful exercise to help people move towards their goal or target at an accelerated level. It is a method that has been used for thousands of years by people from all walks of life. It is thought by some researchers that even cave drawings of animals were made to help the hunter focus on what he had to kill the next day. Although this was a very basic technique, it was still a form of visualisation. Today, many sportspeople and athletes have employed designated trainers

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.

Having the skill to throw someone twenty feet in the air and be able to catch them is very challenging and takes a lot of effort. Many see cheerleading as an activity, but it could be described as a sport. Cheerleading involves lots of skill, flexibility, and strengthening. For something to be a sport, one needs to have the traits listed above. Being a cheerleader takes a lot of talent which means it is considered a sport.

It was a February night and the stuffy Dracut High School gym smelled like sweat and chalk. The Methuen High Varsity gymnastics team had just begun our beam warm-ups and I felt oddly calm. Beam has always been my best event, so competing usually leaves me either very pleased or very disappointed. My coaches, Stacy and Kevin had been encouraging me the entire season to be less nervous at meets. For example, my split jumps on beam during practice fly above the beam in a pretty split. In meets, it was

My artifact that shows my success is a cheer trophy that my team and I won in Vegas at a competition. The trophy is significant to me because it took a lot of hard work for our team to perform at this competition. Our team has never worked together so well and had more dedication than ever because that first place trophy is something we all wanted. Before we were able to plan the Vegas trip we had to qualify at the Six Flags competition because they are the ones who determine if our team is good

Furthermore, along with how Anthony’s quote can be related as a contradictory term towards Atwood’s novel titled The Handmaid’s Tale (1985), it can also be seen through my personal life.

Let’s start with stunting, which by definition is when a base or group of bases lift or toss a flyer overhead to perform tricks in the air (Cheer Book). Stunting can be divided into three different categories based on what the flyer it doing in the air. Pyramids, group stunts, and tosses all have the same basic components to get the flyer up. There are four different positions in a group, the flyer who is the girl being lifted or tossed into the air, the backspot who stands directly behind the flyer

Simone Biles, a 19­year­old Olympic Gold Medalist makes doing gymnastics looks so easy and flawless. She does things that the average human body can not, such as jump, twist, and flip. Some experts say that the answer is very complicated. Most of the time, the events with the simplest explanations of physics make the athletes push the limits of physics. One example is the physics of the pommel horse. ​ "The principle is quite simple: Keep your center of mass over the base of support at all times

i've done in my life. In my defense it was only once, i learned my lesson the first time. I will never ever try and do gymnastics in the bathroom again. Here's how it all went down. I was about 8 or 9, lets all understand that now i'm 13 and i don't do stupid things life this anymore. So, I was in the bathroom in my moms room and i was hyper.
