Hey guys,
I am currently in the process of planning a new novel about college gymnastics. I am a big gymnastics fan, especially of college gym, and I feel that the gymnastics community is crying out for more literature works on our beautiful sport!
Here is the plot (although it is only provisional): "Cailee Hilton is an 18-year old Level 10 gymnast and recent high school graduate. After a turbulent start to life; being raised under single mom, Amanda, Cailee has finally found the errors of her rebellious ways and has realized her dream: doing college gymnastics at a Division I school. After knuckling down in class, she has attained a good GPA and, her dreams of college gymnastics are edging closer. A J.O. National champion, Hilton is one of the best Level 10’s in the country and has had an endless flurry of scholarship offers from various big-time Division I schools over the summer. After signing with the LSU Lady Tigers gymnastics team, under the recommendation of the program’s head coach, Lisette LaFleur; Cailee instantly clicks with the team and adapts to student-athlete life rapidly. When not studying, or at practice and competing, she is often partying and perhaps, enjoying herself too much! After adding a super-cute LSU point-guard and an endless stream of house parties into the equation, will Cailee focus on the true importance of her college stay; or is she willing to sacrifice her childhood dreams, just on romance and an active social life?
After being ranked #1 in the Nation in the Preseason Coaches Poll, the team have a lot of pressure to remain consistent through the regular season and eventually, go on to try and capture the program's first ever NCAA National Championship! Battling through several injuries and problems throughout the season, the Tigers team are nowhere near their original prowess come Nationals. After squeezing into the Super Six in sixth place, the Tigers are almost certainly ruled out of contention for the title. However, a sturdy, competent competition for the Tigers comes down to Hilton as the team's anchor performer on their final event; the notorious balance beam! Will Cailee be able to hold it together on her weakest piece or, will she simply crumble under the lights?"
It is not perfect at the minute, but is definitely workable! At the moment, the story is called Perfect 16.0; as the LSU gymnastics team is comprised of 16 members and, they're eventually National Champions! However, this had led to widespread confusion from gymnastics fans; expressing their concerns that the title sounds too much like elite with the unlimited scoring system, as oppposed to the NCAA 'Perfect 10.0' scoring system! I would be willing to change the name if this will happen!
