I know that the answer to this question will be totally subjective, and dependent on the athlete's work ethic, commitment etc; however, I'd still like some insight from real gymnasts, and perhaps person experience.
A little about me: I am currently 20 years old and attending the United States Military Academy Preparatory school. I have very little prior gymnastics experience, in fact the only sport i've done was muay thai (kickboxing). Recently, since I enlisted in the US Army about 18 months ago, I've become infatuated with Crossfit. Through my crossfit workouts, using the rings and such, I've started to chase my dream of being a gymnast.
My goal is to make it onto the USMA Gymnastics team, though most people have told me that this won't be possible. I've been working dilligently on my gymnastics strength skills, though the lack of support makes it hard to put everything i have into my training.
Realistically, would I have a shot at becoming a real gymnast with such a late start?
Thank you for your time and help, it is much appreciated
