*In gymnastics, it is not how good you are when you started, it's how good you are when you're finished. *Pain is weakness leaving your body. *Just keep your head held high and a smile or your face and you'll do great. *Get a life- a gymnastics life. Nothing else matter, of course. *Gymnastics is life- the rest is.. well, not even worth mentioning. *Life is short, tumble hard. *Don't bother with fear, you're gonna keep trying until ya do it anyway. *Don't let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do. *It's not if you fall or not, it's if you get back up when you fall that makes you great. *Great gymnasts are not great because of their ability, but because of their passion. *Gymnasts are like energizer batteries... keep going and going and going...... *I don't let the beam do anything - I put my feet where I want to *Swing the bars, balance the beam, work the floor, stick the vault. |
| *You can take the gymnast out of gymnastics but you can't take the gymnastics out of a gymnast. *Set goals for yourself and never take your eyes off them- no matter what you may trip over. *A winner sweats when nobody is looking. *If gymnastics were easy it would be called football. *If you can't take the rips - go play ball. *Think of a mouse in the chalk tray and its shadow against the gym wall. Now think of that mouse as fear. If you step away the shadow looks bigger and you get more afraid. Now if you step forward and be brave, you will notice its only a tiny mouse chewing at the chalk!! *My boyfriend said if I spend another weekend at the gym he'll leave me.....I'll sure miss him. *To be a winner, all you need to give is all you have. *Whoever said that 'it's not whether you win or loose' probably lost. *You run like a girl, you jump like a girl, you tumble six feet over four inches like a girl. *You only get a teaspoon of whining a day and a tablespoon of pain a day. (from Holly) *In the perfect world a person would be a mix of a ballerina, stretch armstrong, and a body builder. Or they could simply be a gymnast! |
