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.
