No Off Season!!
In gymnastics there is no off season!! Gymnastics has a rough schedule that even the strongest gymnast cant always hack. A gymnast schedule can be so strict they are forced to be home schooled. At CAGE none of our gymnast are home schooled. A gymnast may spend countless hours and multiple days in the gym year round. Weekends are spent traveling around the U.S. to gymnastics competitions and their best friends are their teammates.
So why pick gymnastics? This hard work and devotion is put in so gracefully. Ask any gymnast and it is the best decision they ever made. You get so many great things from this sport. You are on a team, a very strong team. But, out on the floor you are independent, you are the only one. This sport teaches you poise, teamwork, leadership, and confidence.

I really like what you had to say in this post! I see several parallels between gymnastics and jiu jitsu in regard to there them not being seasonal, individual performance outside a team structure and the multitude of advantages. Pretty cool indeed!

ReplyDeleteI do feel like gymnasts have to put in a ton more practice time than most other sports.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that your gym works with families and understands that kids need to be kids and be in a social learning environment. I also think it's great to teach kids team work along with individuality in sports. It's a life lesson that they will use for the rest of their lives.
ReplyDeleteThe life of a gymnast, does not seem like an easy one.
