Men Do I have a realistic chance of becoming elite?

[theworldgymnast_00]

So, I started Gymnastics when I was 6 years old and got pretty good! At 11, I quit and now, at 14, I have recently started back just doing basics. I am going to college in 4 years time and will practice at there NAIGC team and I will also practice at a local gym (DeVeau's, because I'm hoping to get into Purdue). I sometimes have fear but I am deadly serious about becoming elite! The biggest skills I have at the minute are back full on floor, handspring and half on vault. I haven't started giants on High Bar yet! Do I have a realistic chance of becoming an elite?

Here is your honest answer. Is it remotely possible maybe. Is it realistic no.

 

[Brandon]

Most likely no, but don't let that stop you from going as far in the sport as you can!

 

[bookworm]

You are 14 and don't have giants so I would say, in answer to your question, you do not have a realistic chance at becoming elite...

 

[Gymishome]

But your profile says you're 23...awkward...

 

[bookworm]

Well then, if you're 23 and no giants, then it's a definite no for elite!

Ha ha ha ha

If 14 + 23 still equals 37 then maybe a definite maybe not.

Yeah...I'm confused. Didn't you post something about needing help for a meet name? I don't know many 14 yr olds holding meets :-/

Hmm...I also don't know many 14 year olds wanting to know how to start a booster club...

All kinds of mystery here.

If we don't know your real role in the gym then we cannot help you.

 

[skschlag]

or posting on the WAG board about competing NAIGC...

 

[bogwoppit]

Clearly an oddball. They are in the UK.

 

[Gymishome]

Never a dull moment on this site.

No, but you do have a very good chance of being banned.
