"Forever Athlete"
Can we achieve the everlasting status of “forever athlete”?
We sure can… and here’s how:
Acknowledge Our Power
Just because you don’t put on a leotard every day and attend an organized team practice - or maybe you do - does not mean you are not a gymnast! Sure, that is the “traditional” life of a gymnast, but each of our gymnastics journeys are entirely unique and therefore each of our relationships with the sport of gymnastics are completely different. There is immense beauty in that. We all share one very important feeling, however- love for a sport. Let’s connect through this community and support one another on each of our journeys!

Lean Into Our Journey
Do you find yourself downplaying yourself? I know I am guilty of this quite often. The thing is, there is no reason we should not be totally proud of our awesome accomplishments! Sure, they may seem “small” or “not as significant” as someone else’s, but you’re not here for a competition. Our journey is just that, it is ours to own and to enjoy. There is the saying, “Don’t compare your chapter 1 with someone else’s chapter 25,” but I want to add onto that a little… what if your happy ending on your life journey is not the same as someone else’s? That means even if you both are on chapter 10, those chapters are going to look quite different - and they should! So do me a huge favor and don’t compare ANY of your chapters with anyone else’s because you are writing an entirely different and beautiful story.
