I do gymnastics and I'm going to be a senior this year . So I was very lucky during club gymnastics in high school . I had great coaches that always made sure that I was having fun and really loving the sport .
One thing that I have picked up on at Maryland that helped me be so successful was to almost beat my best self . So in gymnastics , it's not necessarily Um , being better than the competition , it is , uh , how well you do yourself . So every competition , I focus on beating my best self from the meet before and really taking time before I compete to slow my heart rate and get my nerves down and just taking an extra breath before I go to do the gymnastics that I know how to do .
I had great coaches that always made sure that I was having fun and really loving the sport . One coach that was a main coach of mine , she was like my second mom , and she would always remind me that the The main reason that I'm doing gymnastics is to have fun and that I love it . And that really has taken me a long way .
is a great way to manage it all . Trying to get a Division One scholarship is definitely tough , and I know it can be grueling , but the one thing that I would keep in mind during the whole process is to always have fun with gymnastics and be grateful and really take in every moment because it does go by really quickly and Just enjoying your time and having passion within your sport is what's going to lead you to being your most successful self . I think you'll perform your best when you have that drive of passion and all heart behind your gymnastics .
