This is so true!! It's a crazy journey for our girls! I showed the videos to my daughter and she thinks she's seen Maya at her meets =) What a small world! How exciting! Hope to be seeing you at the future meets!
OMG!! That was the most inspirational video!!! It brought tears to my eyes! Gymnasts have GOT TO BE the TOUGHEST athletes--their physical and mental discipline is unbelievable!
That was beautiful! I often think about the time my little one puts into the sport and wonder if she thinks it's all worth it. But when I see her in a leo even on days she doesn't have practice, I guess maybe she does! Gymnastics is a sport where heart is a major ingredient!! Keep up the hard work Maya! You inspire Callie( a litttle 6 year old in IL)! You're the BIG girl to her!!
I loved this montage!! We love Maya here in PA!!! Loved it when Sammie Shapiro hugged her!! That is true team spirit! You are gonna have an amazing season!!
What a beautiful montage! This really shows how hard these little gymmies work and how determined they are. I felt myself thinking of all the times I've seen Emma in the gym in similar situations. I'm sure Maya is the same and wouldn't give any of it up! Maya you rock! Keep up all your hard work!
Yes, so much work, so much time and so much heart....and this didn't even show all the conditioning! Maya loves the ups and her teammates, but is still learning to go through the downs. I like embracing the bumps in the road, thanks for your support!
WOW! This made me cry! It's not always meets, medals and smiles there's always the tough times. Some days you hate it some days you love it. And the only reason your coach yells at you is for you to get better. It happens to me all the time. And the crying also happens all the time! It's just about gymnastics life. Competing takes a lot of pressure but it all end up in one place... you heart <3 luv u Maya!
So tiny and so focused. Maya is amazing!! You can see the determination in her eyes. Never give up kiddo, ain't no mountain high enough!!

Outstanding!.... life is not always about the highest score (tho coming in #1 is always good!) the journey through it all does have its moments. ~Gpa
