New here & gymnastics!

[nellie123]

Hi Everyone! I'm Leah and I'm hoping to start gymnastics. It looks like SO much fun. I'm 14 though, and not very flexible. I've been trying to get more flexible this summer but still am not super. Any tips for gymnastics? Or am I too old?

You are definitely not to old! Gymnastics is an awesome sport and so much fun! My advice is just work your tail off and don't let yourself get discouraged if you can't get a skill. That just means you have to work harder! Also just enjoy it! Gymnastics is a marathon not a sprint. Enjoy the small victories and they will add up to big ones! Have fun!!

One of the proudest moments in a gymnasts life is when she hits her first splits...Then, if you go to the Olympics and medal, but very few girls will ever get to do that.
