[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok for this pp who was the very serious competitive gymnast as a kid and disliked school, please tell us about your life now. Are you a coach or some kind of trainer?

I found, sadly, that unlike swimming or basketball or softball, gymnastics is something you just can't do recreationally after about 18. So you spent your youth and adolescence that way and now it's gone.[/quote]

I'm 38, and just yesterday was doing front and back walkovers with my 12 yr old daughter. I played volleyball in high school and played basketball in the driveway for fun any time I was home. The reality is, I'm an athlete. I have an athletic body, I strategize without realizing it when doing anything team-related, I've got speed, and muscle. So basically, I can decently play any sport, whether or not I spent years on the travel team as a child.

I did gymnastics as a child because it made me happy. I don't know too many adults who are regularly playing soccer these days. So what did they get out of all those scrimmages and practices? Enjoyment, that's what. Exactly as childhood should be.[/quote]
