this is so inspiring i love this video! you're really good! keep going and keep trying and never listen to anyone who says anything mean or cruel because you're great
this was the most inspiring thing iv ever seen u r a beautiful gymnast im 12 and have beem doing gymnastics for a little bit its hard and u get tired but sometimes u just have to push yourself your amazing dont let anyone tell u your not
Omg! I loved this and it almost made me cry & in 15 & I really want to do gymnastics but everyone is telling me I'm to old but I will still try :) hope you can get strong agian
This made me cry so much -- I am a gymnastics coach, and I did gymnastics and you truly are an inspiration. I will share this video with all of my girls who become discouraged... Your dance has become beautiful and you have more passion than so many other people which is so admirable. I hope you keep in the sport - coaching is a great way to stay in when you can't physically do the sport anymore... Where are you from?! We could use your enthusiasm at my gym ;)
you help me so much i starte at 3 (at home) then at 7 i went to a gym righ now im `3 and on level 5 i tell my parents i wanna go to the olympics well they start young im like i did idc how old i was or am i am a gymnast to the sole this is really great ppl who dislike the are jelous 4 what reaso idk great vid
It reminds me of me!!!! I was three when I started. I did gymnastics till I was twelve and I got up to level ten. Then I quit because I was in pain for a while. I was a coach potato, and gained so much weight. Then three years later I lost the weight I gained and I started gymnastics again with my sister. I started at square one again when I came back. Now I am level 8 and it's the best feeling ever. I love your vid!!!
my mom wanted me to play softball, not do gymnastics, although she hardly ever went to my games/practices. But I stuck with gymnastics and tried even harder, and now i am amazing. stick with your dreams.
What would you say is good conditioning for at home for a 'beginner'? I'm not a gymnastics beginner but in terms of stomach muscle I'm a beginner. And how many reps and such. I can do about 15 v-ups before i have to take a break if that gives you any clue.
Like what did you start out to do to get that strong?
Im starting gymnastics to help my figure skating. I can do a front walkover, back wlk over, almost the splits, the bridge from standing up, double stag, stag jump, cartweel, roundoff, split jump, and thats bout it...heh :P
Girl ! Just remember,that most of the battle is actually attempting the moves. If you don't try,you can't succeed ! Totally inspiring,thanks so much for uploading this !
I had to quit, also because of an injury. My growth plates in my wrist were not growing due to my ever so struggling attempts at back handsprings. I wish you the very best, and I too will continue to go for my dream.
WOW!! You are an inspiration! You have improved so so so much!! That is such an amazing journey! My story is, maybe around grade 7, I found that gymnastics was that the vault for me was quite hard so I got really frustrated and I quit . I got back into gymnastics one year ago, beginning of grade ten, and I have seen a huge improvement. In 13 days I am starting advanced rec for a year then next year I am starting competitive gymnastics, which is what I have always wanted to do.
this goes to show no matter how old or young you are when you start if you really have a dream and try you can get farr now i started gymnastics at 6 -7 years older 4 years later im on level 5 and i want to go to the olympics and my parents said i dident start young enough and people in the olympics start at like 2 or 3 but i dont care im going to the olypics cuz i want people you dont need to be born doing somthin if you really try u can do it :) check out my channel :)
I'm 12 and I just started a real competing thing in level 6 and I was really neverous cuz my back tuck wasn't pretty but then I saw this video nd now I know I can do it cuz this video is very inspiring love thanks
@JBBieleiber me too, But where i go we dont compete! so I quit! but I am hoping I get into a placea bout an hour away from where I live. SO I am really looking forward to Competing soon. I have an aeriel but not a backtuck): I am sooo scared because I dont know anyone there.): Its gunna be really terrifying!:(
thats right girl u keep on beileving,strivingand do what u love no matter what age.... a cumbian gymnast was 25 years old still competeing.....so dont stop keep gong!!!
you are such an insporation i am so passionate about gymnastics and i am naturally bendy and flexible but i never had the confidence to try and go to a real gym club but recently i got invited and i am happy everone there are doing flips and tricks but i will keep trying cause this video has shown me that no matter what nothing or no one can stop you from doing something you are passionate about :)
Wow, this is so inspirining, especially to me. I am 16 and have back problems as well. I'm working to overcome them and am hopefully starting back up gymnastics in the fall. I quit 2 years ago and regretted it ever since. Thank you for this inspiring video!
@tinkar4lifee thx for the help!! Guess wht... my mom said mayb she said shes gonna look into it very soon!!! thx 4 ur help at 1st i wasnt sure i was gonna be able to do gymnastics again and i was devastated... now im confident!!!!! thx!!!
@tinkar4lifee thx i will maybe even 2day. i show my mom wht i could do and she gets really proud but doesnt fall sometimes she just says nice and didnt ven look. once again thx :)
@tinkar4lifee thx but wenevea i bring it up the always lik walk away or tell me they dont want 2 listen ill try 2 tell them 2morrow i just hav a passion 4 gymnastics my mom said she tried to get me 2 do it wen i was young but i wouldnt wen i went to my friends meet i was like wow this is somethin i want 2 do i started in 6th grade and i had 2 stop wen i did gymnastics about after 10 classes i was asked to join the prep opt team w/o tryouts but i couldnt take it cause i had 2 quit
U r amazing!!!!!! Im exactly lik u except im 13 and i didnt hav a back problem. I love gymnastics!!! Its also my life.... but my parents say im 2 old 2 start now.... i dont believe i am i just love doin it..... whenever i do it i always have a smile on my face....i did classes in 6th grade then i had 2 stop cause i was goin into middle skool and i had 2 get used 2 the work...... i really want 2 get bak wit it but my parents r against it
This is so amazing and inspirational to me!!! Im 14 years old and i had to give gymnastics up when i was about ten. Now ive lost a good majority of my flexibility and strength but i still feel compelled to start gymnastics again and the only thing holding me back is doubt that i will never be any good at it...but seeing you doing this has inspired me to just do it! thanks so much!!!
Haha doctor told me to quit breakdance cause my shoulder dislocated, but it keeps getting stronger as i practice. Exercise is medicine, so is gymnastic, keep up the good work.
wow this is an incredible video!!! Even though you started at a really late age, you still got a lot of skills. You have really good form! I am so sorry about your back! I bet that if you started gymnastics when you were younger, then you would have gone so far in gymnastics because of your determination. You are really graceful and your dance is amazing. You never gave up and thats what I really like! Good job!
When I first began gymnastics I could hardly cartwheel(NOT KIDDING). I went back after the first week for my coach to tell me there was a mini gym meet, I competed and came third ! I moved up after that and my moves just keep on coming...day by day :)
now i am 13 and i was training many days gymnastics at little kid(4-5yr) but then my coach said she had to quit gymnastics coaching it was horrible because i had to quit too because we dont hind me another GOOD coach and now i training hope that i can go competitions i am training now 3. year... :((( AND i want to be like YOU! :))
Wow. I just want to say that you are fricken amazing. I know how hard this crazy adicting sport is and I think that it's incrediable how far you came. Good job.
when you were competeing with the team with red and white leotards you could really tell how far you'd come. not only had your skills imrpoved, your FORM and overall grace showed how much time you'd been in the sport
ok now watched this one after your home work out vid. Now I double express my point of other post. Acro Gym IMHO is where you belong now. Better for your body, and the sport is as prestigious and wonderfull as Artistic Gymnastics. And..... as said before.... your personality will be an insperation to those you partner with.
Your sooooo amazing!! i have probbly commented more then once on this vid!! very inspiring and passionate about this sport!!! : D!!! You should make another progress video to show how much more you progressed since its been 2 years!!
absolutly amazing . i quit gymnastics when i was 9 and i wanted to go back but i didnt think i would be the same elite i was at age 9. but this video has encouuraged me so much i have to go back now if you can do it i can thanks alot ill keep you informed about my first gymnastics lesson again
ur lucky my gymnastics place closed down and the only other gymnastics place near me is an hour away and the last thing my coach said to me was he was proud of me and i have alot of potential :( im crying now but its hard u kno .. ugh.. :(
So many people look at gymnastics videos and say "oh I want to do gymnastics but I'm to old" that's not true as this video shows. I'm a level 7 and I did start when I was little but I know a number of gymnasts who started later! Do what you love!!!
Back pain has taken me away from, wrestling, which is my passion. But I found a good trainer, Steve Maxwell, who has experienced his fair share of back pain and over come it and he is helping me to do the same maybe he can help you. Check out his mobility stuff on youtube: Steve Maxwell - Encyclopedia Of Joint Mobility DVD Series
The mobility stuff along with his training tips have really helped me a lot.
@merock12341 Every time you wanna do it, have your coach spot you first. Just like he or she would normally. Then tell he or she to spot a little less, on and on. If you get scared of them spoting less at one point, tell he of she to spot a little more untill you reach a point were she or he is barely spotting you. Then have he or she just stand there, think to yourself "If something goes wrong my coach is right here! Im ok" When you get comfortable with that move a little bit away.
wow.....do u know that u just stopped me from giving up? this is...amazing! i only started gymnastics 6 months ago, my parents weren't with the idea but they i trained in school behind their back. and then i i hurt my ankle and told them the truth. my mom told not to do gymnastics again. but my dad told to never give up. and u have inspired me to have courage and faith in myself. thank you for sharing this video because ur doing a favor to every kid who's watching it. thank u
you are an inspiration to me! i love to do gymnastics scince i was little but i started it when i was 10! it show's that if you work hard you can do it! thanks for posting this montage on youtube! IT WAS A BIGGG HELP :D
this means so much when i was on like level 4 or 5. i had to choice between competive soccer and competive gymnastics ( because they are both very exspensive and time consuming) and people told me i was better at soccer so i choose soccer. i kinda want to start gymnastics again but i really have no time with soccer almost everyday. so its hard. but my goal in life is to have no regrets so i guess i got to be a better soccer player out of it.

.my love for gymnastics never changed. i love it! i don't know if i will ever go back because of finacial reasons (i hope i get the opportonitte though). this video gave me a litttle more hope that i can accoplish my dreams in life and one day (mybe even at the age of 16 become a GYMNAST. gymnastics is my life and always will be.
you don't know how much this hased help me to keep on going. i admirer u so much. at the age of 4 i stared gymnastics and by the age of 8 i begen competing . i was 9 when i had to quit because of my familys financial problems. now i'm 11 and .
your suck a great instration! i started gymnastics when i was 4. the years later i was at level 6. Then my mom and my dad got divorced. we had no money so i hat to quit. now i an 11 and i justarted again but i had to restart on level 1. All my work for nothing..... i will nver give up
That was super inspiring and u encouraged me 2 keep practicing gymnastics and 2 not quit just cuz it gets harder and harder. U r doing a great job with gymnastics!
You truly are an inspiration to anybody at any level doing any sport. It just goes to show where passion, desire, drive and hard work can get you. You should be incredibly proud of yourself.
As everyone else has said you really are an inspiration, I will hopefully be starting gymnastics next year at the age of 19 and though that might sound laughable to many people. I've been wanting to do gymnastics my whole life I believe that it is a completely amazing and beautiful sport.
You are an inspiration, thank you for sharing your journey in your videos. Stay focused and you will get back to where you want to be. I suffered a similar back injury from 2003 - 2005 and had to spend a lot of time in bed, but with perseverence I have slowly worked my way back to working out and training, as a dancer, and am happy to say I'm scheduled to be back in a studio for my first class next Wednesday. It's been a rough journey, but I am stronger for it, and you will be too! Stay strong!
You're such an inspiration! I started gymnastics a little less than a year ago and I'm 13. I thought I was too old to start, but you have given me hope and thank you. I really want to compete, but I'm not sure how to get started and we don't have that much money, so I probably won't be able to. I don't even have my back handspring yet, but you really, really give me hope! Thanks again for this video, it's one of the best videos I've seen, I hope it's true thought!
I've wanted to be a gymnast all my life too and I hope to be able to start next year as a freshman in college. Your journey is truly inspirational and I can't wait to carve my own path.
I would really go with your doctor on this... this sport can paralyze you if you're not careful. But it's nice to see someone so in love with the sport. I'm 16 right now, I did gymnastics when I was younger. I'm thinking about going back and taking tumbling :)
Good Job,, i started very young i had the same problem i was definitly not a natural but i never gave up (: your doing really good good for not giving up
To the comment by Lucy50773, you're missing the entire point of this video. If you're going to be negative, then why even bother responding? That's immature.
Can I tell you that this is one of the best videos that I've seen about the life of a gymnast? I'm serious. This video is about someone who gave it everything. You have given it your ALL, and I think that's a beautiful thing. Age doesn't matter. Natural ability only goes so far. Hard work makes it ALL possible. French gymnast Benoit Caranobe said it best: "You are a gymnast ALL your life!"
Never give up. You're inspiring, and I hope you keep going. :)
i sarted gymnastics when i was 7 but due to rubbbish equitment ; im at no were but the past 3 years im getting better :D but i alike have devolped back and knee problems but this is the path ive chose to follow
me too, i started at 7 and didn't REALLY get anywhere until 9 or 10, but i am injury free other than shin splints, hyperextension, and normal gymnastics stuff. cool video
I just started gymnastics and i'm 14. sometimes its really frustrating, you know? how you wish you could impove right away, but you keep trying and trying and eventually you get better. you inspired me to keep trying, so thanks :)
This a really great video.... I see in our program how many people are discouraged even at the age of 11 or 12 from starting out because most of the kids started when they were younger.... it really is something that people don't think about that you can do it even if you started at an older age...
It just shows how much you love it. When you may have been laughed at, you didn't care, Gymnastics was what you wanted to do, you loved it, and no one stood in your way! You are like my idol seriously!! I love your dedication towards gymnastics.
this is so inspiring! it has pushed me even more to keep training, i hope you can do gymnastics again someday

wow this is an incredible video!!! Even though you started at a really late age, you still got a lot of skills. You have really good form! I am so sorry about your back! I bet that if you started gymnastics when you were younger, then you would have gone so far in gymnastics because of your determination. You are really graceful and your dance is amazing. You never gave up and thats what I really like! Good job!

When I first began gymnastics I could hardly cartwheel(NOT KIDDING). I went back after the first week for my coach to tell me there was a mini gym meet, I competed and came third ! I moved up after that and my moves just keep on coming...day by day :)

ok now watched this one after your home work out vid. Now I double express my point of other post. Acro Gym IMHO is where you belong now. Better for your body, and the sport is as prestigious and wonderfull as Artistic Gymnastics. And..... as said before.... your personality will be an insperation to those you partner with.
Best of luck

So many people look at gymnastics videos and say "oh I want to do gymnastics but I'm to old" that's not true as this video shows. I'm a level 7 and I did start when I was little but I know a number of gymnasts who started later! Do what you love!!!

Back pain has taken me away from, wrestling, which is my passion. But I found a good trainer, Steve Maxwell, who has experienced his fair share of back pain and over come it and he is helping me to do the same maybe he can help you. Check out his mobility stuff on youtube: Steve Maxwell - Encyclopedia Of Joint Mobility DVD Series
The mobility stuff along with his training tips have really helped me a lot.

I'm working on my backhandspring and I can do it with a spotter. But I get mental block when I try it by myself. Any tips on how to get over fear?
merock12341 1 year ago
@merock12341 Every time you wanna do it, have your coach spot you first. Just like he or she would normally. Then tell he or she to spot a little less, on and on. If you get scared of them spoting less at one point, tell he of she to spot a little more untill you reach a point were she or he is barely spotting you. Then have he or she just stand there, think to yourself "If something goes wrong my coach is right here! Im ok" When you get comfortable with that move a little bit away.

this means so much when i was on like level 4 or 5. i had to choice between competive soccer and competive gymnastics ( because they are both very exspensive and time consuming) and people told me i was better at soccer so i choose soccer. i kinda want to start gymnastics again but i really have no time with soccer almost everyday. so its hard. but my goal in life is to have no regrets so i guess i got to be a better soccer player out of it.

As everyone else has said you really are an inspiration, I will hopefully be starting gymnastics next year at the age of 19 and though that might sound laughable to many people. I've been wanting to do gymnastics my whole life I believe that it is a completely amazing and beautiful sport.

You are an inspiration, thank you for sharing your journey in your videos. Stay focused and you will get back to where you want to be. I suffered a similar back injury from 2003 - 2005 and had to spend a lot of time in bed, but with perseverence I have slowly worked my way back to working out and training, as a dancer, and am happy to say I'm scheduled to be back in a studio for my first class next Wednesday. It's been a rough journey, but I am stronger for it, and you will be too! Stay strong!

You're such an inspiration! I started gymnastics a little less than a year ago and I'm 13. I thought I was too old to start, but you have given me hope and thank you. I really want to compete, but I'm not sure how to get started and we don't have that much money, so I probably won't be able to. I don't even have my back handspring yet, but you really, really give me hope! Thanks again for this video, it's one of the best videos I've seen, I hope it's true thought!

Can I tell you that this is one of the best videos that I've seen about the life of a gymnast? I'm serious. This video is about someone who gave it everything. You have given it your ALL, and I think that's a beautiful thing. Age doesn't matter. Natural ability only goes so far. Hard work makes it ALL possible. French gymnast Benoit Caranobe said it best: "You are a gymnast ALL your life!"
Never give up. You're inspiring, and I hope you keep going. :)
