Back Into the Swing of Things

I love gymnastics. I didn't even have to say that--- I bet you already knew! Well, I've been out of gymnastics for a little over a year now, and I decided that I need to get back in athletics. So, I chose a less familiar form of gymnastics. (None of these photographs belong to me. None. None whatsoever. Nada.)

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the world of acrobatics.

Hey, I bet I can do ^^^THAT^^^!

These are some crazy, death-defying stunts.

Can't even add a caption for this one. Ha! Just did!

That's more like it.

UGH! That image is a little, um, unsettling.

So what do you think? Pretty cool sport, eh?

"You've never had a friend like me!"

Welcome to my Olympic blog. If you are a new gymnast, or maybe you've been a gymnast all your life but are new to this blog, here's some good tips:

1. Need a leo??? www.jamwearleos.com or you can shop www.dancewearsolutions.com !

2. Need new music??? You can check out YouTube, but you can also check out this blog's playlist!

3. Not sure about gymnastics??? Stay in it! Learn from my experiences!

4. Feel like quitting??? DON'T! Winners don't quit, and quitters don't win. If you don't quit, at least you can say you tried.

5. What's it like as a cheerleader? What's it like in level 10? Read my great interviews!

Why I made this blog!

When I was four, gymnastics seemed so fun. I'd do cartwheels all the time. After awhile I didn't care anymore, but I decided to try the actual sport when I was nine.

I started a little late for the Olympics, but I can catch up easily. I never went to level 1 or 2.

Gymnastics originated in ancient Greece and Egypt in c. 2600 B.C. at the early Olympic games. Neat, huh?

And many more neat things I can't say right now. But I can say that I love the Olympics and World Championships. My favorite gymnast is Shawn Johnson for originality and Nastia Luikin for technique. I like Kerri Strug and Dominique Dawes for their great performances. Dominique for being the first African US gold medal gymnast and Kerri because even though she tore two ligaments in her ankle she still vaulted again.

This blog is: Courage and strength to get back up again.

This blog is: You may be knocked down but not out forever.

This blog is: Everyone falls, everyone gets hurt, but only the strongest ones get back up.

The Gymnastic Law

If you don't think you'll win, you won't.

If you are too afraid to do something, you aren't ready for it.

Yeah, i'm nervous, but i'm gonna do it anyway!

Don't be afraid to be the mature adult and just do it when teammates won't.

With God, all is possible.

Why be scared if you can just get it overwith and leave it behind?

Always be confident.

Don't worry about tomorrow, focus on today.

If you can't do a skill by competition time, focus on the routine, not the skill, and things will work out.
