  • My BIGGEST REGRET IN THE WHOLE WORLD WAS QUITTING!! i was a level 9, i was homeschooled at my gym i practiced 36 hours a week. my life was literally nothing but gymnastics, and this summer i threw my life away, granite i am happy and i love having spare time, but its nothing even close to that trill when you hear your name called at state meet saying you made the national team and you get to represent your state at regionals! i was a 3 time state champ. and got 2nd and 4th at regionals:(

  • soo true!

  • Gymnastics says NO to u all day long, it mocks u and never goes away because once things get hard..... you're trapped, forever

  • It's soooo true!

  • amazing video!! i actually cried!!

  • This video is amazing and everything about it is true. I'm a gymnast, and just got over a rough patch in my career. I saw this video and reminded myself how far I've come and how long I've done this sport (going on ten years!!).

    I love gymnastics and for all gymnasts out there; when life gives you a rip, get back on the bar! :)

  • *pieces, lol I meant pieces

  • Im not a gymnast but my best friend in the whole world is. And tho I've never done it I've been with my friend through the tough times when she's fallen down and doesn't think she can make it up again and the good where she knows she'll make it to the 'limpics. And supported her and helped her get back up again. So I was in prices when I watched this. To all gymnasts out there... YOU CAN DO IT!!!!! No matter how hard you think it is you CAN do it!!!! NEVER forget that!!!!

  • omg, this made me cry so bad... Sometimes i wanna quit sooo much, but then i look at how good i am and how far i have come. I can do things that so many people can only DREAM of doing. :') I love this sport.

  • o ya!!i like your user name!!:P

  • i love this video!! i used to be one of the girls that had a dream to be like the "big girls" and guess what ...i am now(: its funny cuz the other day we where doing routines on floor and a preschool gymnast watched us the whole time and later i looked over and she was dancing around on the floor like the "big girls"(:

    thanks so much for this video!!!(:

  • This is so true! I swear this is about me! LOL I <3 GYMNASTICS!

  • Gymnastics... is my life. I can't imagine life without it! I love it with all my heart. This is so true. <3

  • I wish I saw this video before I quite! -3

  • Makes me cry every time I see it -3

  • Soo true. I miss gymnastics </3

  • ONG!Such a good video<3 i am a gymnast and this video is so inspiring

  • This is completely true! This is almost exactly like it was when I was a little Team Trainer gymnast!!!!! I always watched the older girls! I love this video!! :)

  • This video made me cry... Anyone whose not an optional gymnast just doesn't understand what this video means...

  • This video was great. The message is very true and so deep. Loved it!

  • I have watched this video like 20 times and everytime i have cried becuase it is 100% true...I used to be in USAG and go 6 days a week for 4 1/2 hours but i had to quit because the coaches were so mean and i started to hate it so much that i would fake being sick...Im a level 9 now on the Peak Colorado Eagles team and I have fallen back in love with the sport that made me wanna die every day of my life...and its funny cuz i see little girls watch me in amazment and i remember when that was me :)

  • i am in love with this vid!!!! best vif ive atched so far and i love it !!! it reminds me of me!!! i am a level 5 gymnast and every day i see a little girl watching e and my teammates and i remember when i first started i used to watch all of them and think man i really really wanna be like them!!!!! and now look how far iv'e gotten!!!!

  • This is very true. I quit and then watched this video and sorta regretted it. But I'm in competitive cheer leading now and i love it. Describes my life when I was around 9 to 10!

  • this actually describes it all.

  • Omg I love this video so much! It made me cry because it's just me, i went through alot! First my coach had a stroke, then i was switched to a diffrent coach, then we moved gyms. i left that gym and went back to the old one. And once again and got my favorite coach ever maria!!! but she had to go to college. and we got another coach, he was the most horrible coach in the world!. but he got fired and we got one of my old coaches!, she's awesome!! :)

  • When I first saw this video a few years back and I thought it was amazzzingggg!!! And sometimes when things get rly hard @ practice this video makes everything feel so much better because it's so true-Im level 7 and I have a meet tomorrow which is gonna be my 2nd meet as lvl 7 and this video helped me get some nerves out of my system thanks sosos much for the courage and inspiration :)

  • Perfect!!!!!!!!!!

  • Really inspiring! (:

    only a true gymnast would understand (:

  • This is such an inspirational video! I just competed a level 8 season making it to regionals and placing 1st in 2 events! My highest score this season (i don't have on video:(() were 9.7 regionals beam 9.6 state beam 9.675 regionals floor!

  • Well I'm like intermediate and the people who where in like team and stuff are younger than me. But I know some of them cause some are the same age or a little older but most r younger. So that little girl for translation that person looking at you cause your just to good for them.

  • This almost made me EFFING CRY!!! I remember being that little girl... And I remember that little girl watching me. I quit about 8 months ago and still have all my muscle. I don't miss that, I was the most muscular one at my gym. I miss having that feeling if pride every time I did something amazing. (mostly on beam cuz I hated that thing with a passion) but I had so many injuries that led up to something major and it scared my family. Didn't want to put them through that again. I don't miss gy

  • I used to do gymnastics, I started when I was 5 just as a little fun thing then I got put into a slightly higher class then I got put into the rhythmic gymnastics elite group, I was only 9! I remember doing conditioning and being in so much pain! And then I did lots of competions and I had so much fun with my friends then it came to performing and All the fun went. I did good a lot of the time, getting medals but then I did worse! Then I quit :L This video made me realise how much I miss it!

  • this is an amazing video, i can identify with every moment. the excitement of getting a rip to the frustration of that one skill (back handspring back handspring on beam :P) right down to noticing that little girl and knowing it used to be me :) i'm gonna stick with it all the way. thanks for bringing back the memories :)

  • It should say I wasn't hating on gymnastics not I was

  • @pleenoo100 I was just making a comment and I know its not the same especially because where I cheered we shared the gym with gymnasts and I saw how hard it was but all-star cheer kicks butt...I was hating on gymnastics so there is no need for you to hate on my sport. Ever been kicked in the face doing a basket toss orbreak your wrist stunting and continue with the routine which involved more stunting...

  • This video is so sad!! Once a gymnast always a gymnast! I quite about a month ago and I wanna rejoin 1 cuz I miss my team 2 I'm afraid I'll loose all my muscle and 3 it's in my blood -3 plz help me what should I do!?!?!

  • @cjcuties158 Go back dude. I quit 7 months ago, I lost so much muscle, I can't even connect a kip to a stoop on. It's so pathetic, I was the strongest girl in the gym, the only level ten, now I'm about a level 7. If you want to go back, you have to do it now, or never.

  • No sorry I don't remember.

  • I love gymnastics so much but my flyaway is getting me annoyed. I wish bars wasn't invented. This video changed my mind. I always land on my back .I am on team every meet i did great except on bars.My name is Gabi i am 8 years old.

  • @njgymdawg im 9 years old what level are you? im level 5

  • i love gymnastics when ever i have a bad day or meet i think of this video <3

  • i quit gymnastics two years ago and have regretted that decision ever since i made it. watching this video helped me decide i want to give my dream one more chance.

  • This is soo true!

  • OH my goodness i love who ever made this video i quit for about 2 months and then i joined and then i saw this video and i said i will neverf quit gymnastics not even take abreak thank you so very much <3

  • This video makes my day..customer I do all-star cheer and it's like the exact same story line!!

  • Lol i love 1:56 how she was caught mid fall :) is it nastia and her dad??

  • Wow.....that was really inspiring.....I think I will continue now ^^

  • i started sobbing after my mom showed it to me because my sister was having a tough time with it and when she said your sister is that little girl watching you i started sobbing because she means soooo much to me and i dont want to take gymnastics away from her ever

  • omg i am going throuth the same exact thing right now i am in my gym 24/7

  • It only let me like it once so I'll marry it ?

  • @gymnastics11able awww dont quit just because your tall! True its easier being short, but stick with it!!! Sure u will have to make adjustments but u can do it!! Love the vid by the way (:

  • This video changed my life. thank you.

  • thats amazing! :) i do remeber when!!

  • aww my god i like, teared up at this. i totally remember being that little girl, and now im a level 9. this is crazy.

  • This made me cry :")

  • Omg:( im in gymnastics. and ilove it!! but i got so far. but im getting to tall my parents and just my whole family is so tall. i cant be a gymnast when im short i hate being tall but i want to be a gymnast but i cant :( im not giving up though im gonna stay short i hope! :('

  • thanks for the inspirtation to keep pushing thru the injuries and frustrations..<3 I LOVE GYMNASTICS!

  • i know how these people feel. this video is SO TRUE!

  • nice!!!

  • I know about it all, and I just come back to gymnastics, after a 2 months break, after I have seen this video, I know what I have to do, because it is ny life

  • thank you for this amazing video, i'm 15 and a level 8, and this is all too true, sometimes i just wanna quit, but then i think, it's been my life, what will i do without it? it's the point in life where you ask yourself why you are doing it, and then you realise how much you actually love it.

  • I just made it to level 7 and its tough. ive probobly watched this vid about 500 times and it never gets old. when ever i feel like i should just quit i reffer back to this vid. its what keeps me going back for more. im 11 years old and i can tell this journey im gonna take isnt gonna be easy. luv this vid. its worth takeing away 4 minutes and 17 seconds away from my life

  • *the love has to come first.

  • I'm going to compete level 8 this year but I might not since I have a knee injury. :( this past year almost our whole team has quit and left us,including my best friends. Sometimes I come home crying everyday because this sport is much too stressful and noone knew how I felt. I always want to quit, but if I quit, il have no life! there's nothing else I want to do. Gymnastics is my life, and always will be a part of it-3 we all keep holding on because we have a passion for it:). the love has to

  • this video describes me so much

  • This is amazing i hurt my back so i cant do anything and i hated flight series on beam and now that I cant do them I miss them its like im missing something and i dont feel accomplished by the end of practice

    I wish my back feels better i want to do gymnastics

    and the same thing happend at our gym i had two BEST friends and now there gone. and there are only 5 level 8s now

  • I really wish I would have stuck with gymnastics...

  • Outstanding to say the least.

  • this is just soo touching. i am gymnast and have been through alot of rough paths and feel like i want to quit and this video helps me keep doing gymnastics. if you do gymnastics DONT QUIT! keep going untill u cant!!! :) :)

  • Wow... This relates to me so much... Im in level 6 now and me and 1 other girl from our level5 team moved up with me, and thats it... it was sooo sad... but ill never quit. :')

  • this video was my childhood. i miss gymnastics soo much. this reminded me of why i did it but i was one of the was to quit, and i wish almost everyday i hadn't.

  • i wanted to quit because im only 9 it was to much i was scared to do my backwalkover but i cant leave my life its more than just my life its love.....never trust your fears trust your heart.i was scared because my bf did it and fell back on her back and hit her head ......

  • I quit two years ago, and sometimes it gets to the point where I regret quitting with everything I have in me. I'm in one of those moments.. and this made me start bawling. I remember when the gym was my life.. and this video perfectly summed up my childhood. Thank you<3

  • I had to quit because I was at a meet and I did my dismount on the beam and landed wrong on my knee, and I had surgery! I was elite too!

  • I got goosebumps watching this... that is exactly what happened to me in gymnastics except I was one of the quitters I stick with my decision but watching this video makes me wonder where would i be now if I hadn't quit....

  • this is probably the most inspirational videos ive ever seen. its gotten me through a lot of my gymnastics. i bet evn when im older and im still a gymnast i will still remember this video. this is what i call impressive!!!!!

  • <3

  • so true thats my life in 4 minuts and 17 seconds

  • i absolutely love this video :) i'm not a gymnast...i'm a figure skater but i think this video is true to every sport...you have to fight through the hard times. you will feel ten times worse if you give up!

  • makes me cry everytime <3 gymnastics is my life, and i have been through a lot of hard times, this really makes me realize how much it means to me! my life wouldnt be the same without it, and when i look back on my life i realize i have no regrets because im doing what i truly love. Im hoping to go to college and do gymnastics here soon, it would be an amazing experience though it will be hard. thanks for this <3 it really helped.

  • All I can say is that this video really hit me and it got me to the point when i started to think about myself but with my sports. It got me to tink that even though I am going to go through hell in a sport i have to keep going because no matter what i know that there is someone else looking at me and thinking that they are going to be doing the same thing. I hoope that everyone that watches this video will think on themselves and never give up in their sport no matter how hard it gets!

  • Everytime I am in doubt I watch this video and cry because when I switched gyms I felt like I lost my family and I went to another gym and cried in the bathroom and one of the gymnast came up to me and hugged me and I knew I had a new family and sometimes it gets tough but live like your dying to the fullest !

  • I stumbled across this video two or three years ago and thought it was perfect for how my life was in gymnastics. Well since then I have quit gymnastics after seven years and this video makes me want to go back. I knew I would always miss it, once a gymnast always a gymnast thing but I didnt realize until just now how emtpy my life is without gymnastics. Thank you so much for this video, it has been my number one favorite for a few years now! <3

  • This is a very emotional video, becasue it is so true. I am not a gymnast. I am a swimmer. But I can totally see myself in this video. It is a common thing. In EVERYONE'S life there is just this phase where you doubt why are doing this and want to quit. Because quitting is so much easier... but if you stick through

    you will be forever happy to have done so.

    (I just accidentally posted this comment to another video, but it belongs in here!)

    Thanks for making this video!!!

  • i think i am gonna cry, especially that ending made me soooooo sad!!!!!!!!

  • omg that is the cutest video i have ever seen soo inspiring

  • This makes me want to be a female gymnast.

  • so ive watched this video sooo many time and every single time i cry because its explaining my life and its so true... i showed this video at my gymnastics gala( i hope thats ok) and there were almost 500 people there and i think the whole crowd was in tears :') i wasnt going to compete this year until i saw this and realized how much i love gymnastics <3 so thankyou for making this inspiring video :)

  • I LOVE THIS SO MUCCCH (: it's awesomeeeeee. i don't do gymnastics though i do trampoline (:

  • I loved it so much that I actually signed in to right this comment. this is exactly my life and I waned to quite so bad but this changed my mind . Thank You.

  • OMG! this video is SOO amazing!! i remember when i was like lookin g at people like " How do they do that? " and now im that person that lil kindergardeners look up to :) this is so heart felt :)!

  • i can honestly say this video made me cry and not a lot of videos on youtube have done that fabulous work! :) brought back memories :)

  • THIS IS SO TRUE IM 14 and im on the level 4 team almost 5 thats 1/2 way to elite!

  • @gymnast4life19981 Oh my gosh! I just turned 14 on August 12th, and I am slao level 4!

  • @lomo1275 i want to compete so bad but when i think of my age i just think ill never make it! im sooo close to being on a team im 13 but by the time they pick team members ill be 14. so i have to hand my roundoff backhandspring and im so close!

  • I was just about to quit and then i saw this video. I cant quit at gymnastic.

  • @Fannymiialia Me too. this video is very inspring.

  • tears are in my eyes!!!! this video inspired me to continue training!!! love it!!

  • thumbs up if your a gymnast! i am

  • this video is so true and it relates to everyone that practice a sport since young. i practice karate since i was 6 and it feels the same i sometimes want to quit...well i have quited like 3 times... And its also true the thing of the people leaving and its sad because we were like a family and now from that old family there are just 7 of us when we were more than 16. well i mean everything is so true before it was so much fun and now im still doing this just to get the black belt.LOVE the vid x

  • This video is true for most competitive sports!

  • Omg this is completly true for me i remember when i first started i had so much fun! and then girls from my team started leaving . now there is only four on the team . i hate when my friends have sleepovers or go to dances and i cant cuz i have gym the next morning it makes me so sadd :( I dont think i wanna do it anymore?! DX

  • This video gives me the chills every time

  • I competed USTA Trampoline and Tumbling and this video speaks for all of the tumblers that stayed in it from 3 years-18. You give up a lot to compete in sport like thisand unless you do it you don't understand what its like to give up so much for something you LOVE like no other.

  • vampireslayer32

    this song is inspiring me,i was a gymnast before....until now.

  • 30 people are nuts for not liking this video

    15 people just really didn't care which button they clicked but clicked the dislike anyways

    7 people just closed their eyes and happened to click the dislike button

    6 people wondered what would happen when they clicked the dislike button  and....

    1 person loved the video but accidentally clicked the dislike button then hurriedly clicked the like button... :)

  • Where did you get the idea for this video?? Sophiaemo1?? She made one just like it, and I talked to her and she said she has never seen yours. At least give credits to the her!! Especially when so many other people recreate it and give all credits to you.

  • @TheTaliBean just to let you know, this video was created in 2007 and Sophiaemo1's was uploaded not too long ago... in 2011

  • @Justsomeperson1920 I know that and she said she had hers up first, something about the program she used to make it...I don't know, I don't make videos it's an art I could never understand, I'm sorry if you were offended by it I was just sticking up for a friend, I'm honestly not trying to get in the middle of things but it's not like she could do anything about it if someone stole her video. But she really does believe that it was stolen from her and she had the idea first.

  • Inspiring............. It is all I can say! There are 59 people who are just either jealous, or they are too cold hearted to even notice and inspiring video.

  • This is soo true it made me cry! I am in 8th grade and a level 9 gymnasti..it is hard somedays but i still love it <3

  • My friend got chosen for the 2009 olympics when she was 6, she thought that she couldn't do it. Her parents tried to convince her and convince her. She could of became something big. But she thought she couldn't do it. Now right this hour, right this minute, right this second. She is putting chalk on her hands and getting on those bars all over again. She finally believed in herself and now she is in the olympics for 2012. I love you Erin :) Stay strong

  • Comment removed

  • This is pretty much the same story many ballet dancers go through. It's really hard because all the dancers compete for the best parts in ballets and who gets to move up to the next level.

    This video shows the truth and I'm grateful to know others who deal with this!

  • I searched for ''Do You Remember When'' and found this video, im a boy, and have never been to gymnastics, but this video made me remember so much about my own swimming career, which was so much like the same. Competitions were the most fun thing ever, no pressures, everyone were friends with eachother, and everyone was rewarded.

    Then without even noticing it started to get always harder, suddenly Im the weakest one, Im running out of comment space so I cant continue, :(

  • wow im not even a gymnast and i thought this made me really understand psychologically what the sport can do to you yet still help you remember the positives if you know wat i mean... btw very nice video!!!

  • this video made me remember how much fun i used to have in gymnastics and all the hard work i did and im very happy that my daughter is doing what i used to love and im super blessed that she too loves it as much as i did

  • AAAAAWWWW!!!!!!!! TOUCHING!

  • love it <33

  • I'm not even a gymnast but I think the video speaks to everyone. When life gets hard we have to stop and think about what we accomplished, who we might have inspired and how everyone has to start somewhere

  • you need to update it to omg 2500 comments instead of 1000 lol

  • this video is so true. and now I wish i didn't quit gymnastics just cuz it was getting "harder" /: )':

  • i rember the days when competing was fun now i have be in the top three to place. the boys when u like some one and they ask u out but have to say no or ur in truble by ur coachs when they find out. i like to see those little girls now they look up to me and i say hi and wave to make there day because they even make me smille.
