Hello! (again)

[gymnastget10]

Hi all! This is a bit of a reintroduction; I was a CB member in high school when I was training level 8/9 but needed knee surgery and thought I was done with gymnastics through college, though I still loved the sport. I really started following gym again in the past year, both the overall elite scene and everything happening with USAG, and when I started physical therapy school this year I decided I wanted to give gymnastics another try and joined the club team at my university. It's been 6 years but I've actually really impressed myself with how much I can do so far - I'm flipping tusks into the pit, working on a double flight pass, trying to get my giants back on bars... and beam is beam XD. I'm hoping to compete a meet at NAIGC level 7 or 8 this year and hoping I will stay healthy and be able to have fun with the sport for at least the next few years, but also thinking about getting in to coaching or judging so I can continue longer. I love reading about other people's gymnastics experiences and wanted to reenter the community here!

The sport seems to stick with some athletes. I hope you stay healthy and enjoy this second gymnastics experience.

Thanks for telling your story. I was thinking about coming back to gymnastics too (6 years later) that gives me hope
