Power Tumbling, Trampoline Gymnastics Two years ago I made one of the best decisions of my life I started to do T&T(Tumbling and Trampoline). I came into this sport a lot later than most people do at the age of 15, but I picked it up rather quickly. I joined a competition tumbling team and competed very well in my first season competing. Starting as a level seven on every event I mobilized as far as I could on the event known as double mini, and this is where I ran into some problems. I mobilized from being a level seven all the way to a level 9 and would be competing that level at the biggest meet of the year the Kalon Ludvigson International competition. I had warmups for this meet and in practicing one of my passes I hit awkwardly making…

When I was younger, I did trampoline and tumbling for seven years! Trampoline and tumbling is similar to gymnastics, however, the events were different. The events for trampoline and tumbling are trampoline, rod floor, as well as the double mini. Rod floor is about the width of a bed, and the length of at least 500 feet. In the middle of the floor is a straight line that you are required to stay on. A double mini is similar to vault however, rather than leather, it is a trampoline. I performed…

I started gymnastics at the age of three. Running around and playing with others kept me excited to learn more and advance in the sport. I participated through the age of 13 before I decided to quit and concentrate more on school work. Gymnastics played a huge role into the person I am today. Having been a free spirited wild child, gymnastics was perfect for me. I practiced twice a week for two hours. During each practice there was about five to six different activities we worked on. This…

I grew up loving gymnastics, especially since my parents put me in gymnastics classes when I turned two. I love the feeling of stretching myself in unnatural ways and the rush I get when I show my friends a split, even in jeans. I adore the thrill and excitement of flying dangerously through the air, sometimes on a four inch piece of wood, and sometimes off of a bar eight feet in the air. I have never loved anything like I have gymnastics and I don’t think I ever will. My dream and number one…

I have participated in the all-star competition cheerleading world since I was a very young girl. Over the last ten years, cheerleading has not only taught me how to stunt, tumble and dance, it has also taught me so many remarkable life lessons, such as leadership, teamwork, determination, and perseverance. One important lesson I have learned over the years is how to overcome failure as well as learning to control the fear of failure. The all-star cheerleading industry is very competitive; one…
