After a seventeen-year career in the sport of gymnastics, loving it, struggling through it, and being obsessed with it, this is the story of one gymnast's experiences, observations, and lessons learned. As her gymnastics career ended, and she was forced to deal with the loss of the sport she loved, she struggled to make sense of what she had learned along the way, what she had been through, and why. In writing about her experiences, all the lessons came into focus. This story reveals what she learned about gymnastics, what she learned about life because of gymnastics, and her journey to get there. The subjects included in this autobiographical account are winning and losing, dealing with favoritism, dieting, self-image, setting goals, dealing with fear, coping with injuries, how gymnastics impacts family, retiring, and many others. This is not the story of an Olympic hero. This is the personal reflections of an average gymnast, someone that did a challenging, competitive sport because she loved it. This story tells her reasons for doing the sport, what goals she set and which ones she reached and surpassed, and just how much satisfaction she was able to get from the sport without ever having to win gold medals or go to the Olympics.

Five girls. Four events. And only one gold medal. Floor routine. Uneven bars. Vault. And balance beam. 90 seconds. 75 seconds. 7 seconds. 90 seconds. In gymnastics, your best friends are your biggest rivals. And the Bellevue Kips are feeling the pressure. Everyone wants to win best all-around gymnast at Optionals and State finals, but only one girl goes home with gold. Who will it be? Nadia: Gymnastics royalty. Beam is her event. Gold is in her DNA. But how far is she willing to go to win? Bethany: Best on floor. Worst on vault. Does Bethany's height spell gymnastics doom? Sara: They used to call her Tree Frog. Now, she's too scared to tumble backwards. Can she get it together in time to compete? Kelley: Gymnast. Soccer Star. And ballerina. The time has come to choose her sport. What is she willing to sacrifice to win? Jamie: The new girl and the squad's biggest mystery. Will she crumble under pressure? Or will she give them all a run for their money? The countdown to competition has begun. Will it make them? Or break them?

With Sara temporarily on medical leave and Bethany no longer competing with the squad, Nadia is poised to dominate at the Nationals. Or so she thinks. Introducing Raven. Her parents just divorced and according to Google Maps, the Bellevue Kips Gymnastic Club is equidistant from their houses. Split down the middle, just like everything else. Jamie was comfortable being the new kid on the squad, but struggling to find her place on the team now that she is old news. "Jamie felt the pang of something like jealousy. Jamie never got jealous. This felt different. This was already affecting her routine. This affected her dreams. Jamie would have to do some research. She would convince Judi to let her try her own special move. And she would perfect it before Nationals. Because without a truly spectacular dismount, there was no way she was bringing home gold." Will the girls pull it together and place at Nationals or will the drama of competing against your own team-mates leave these gymnasts Flipping Out?

Gymnastics Lessons Learned: This is a collection of stories about gymnasts who learned valuable lessons through gymnastics. Most gymnasts here were the author's own gymnasts. By reading these short gymnastics stories your child will learn new lessons, change their attitude, or possibly redirect their gymnastics career. The stories show the value of gymnastics lessons beyond the fun, gymnastics skills, and competitions. Gymnasts will enjoy reading this book and sharing the stories with their friends. Nice gift for any gymnast, gymnastics parent, or gymnastics coach.
