Making this decision was hard, but a lot easier knowing I would still be involved with the sport through coaching and hopefully through becoming a judge.

I had been attending weekly classes since age 3; gymnastics was an important part of my identity. And suddenly I knew I was done. I never competed, and I wasn't good enough to succeed in competitions, but knowing that I could do a couple moves was so amazing. And now I've lost it all, after two years away. I cried so much making that decision. But at some point, we all get too old and move on. I wish moving on didn't hurt so much, ya know? :)<br /><br /><3 Marie-RoseAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10462683138197898709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5813197138924045129.post-10470312155773649512014-09-07T00:08:53.359-06:002014-09-07T00:08:53.359-06:00Above Post By Linda Rains Owner Coach Tumbletown U...Above Post By Linda Rains Owner Coach Tumbletown USA.Linda Rainshttp://facebook.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5813197138924045129.post-62544787628723314642014-09-07T00:05:17.207-06:002014-09-07T00:05:17.207-06:00Whitney ...

Your way of life will change and saying good bye is difficult ... but has to happen ... your choice to post and acknowledge those who were important in your tumbling life will not only help you transition to what God has ahead for you but help others to let go of you being part of there daily lives ... sharing moments ... struggles ... and travels ... As a coach and major influence in many now grown athletes lives know it is hard for us your (coach) to say goodbye to you as well ... Shine On ...

I plan on dancing ballet and modern through college, but I had to give up the dream of being a professional ballerina a while ago. I knew I wasn't good enough, and I learned that the kind of environment I'd be in at real companies wouldn't be the greatest. Now you can figure out another section of your life that will still be based around the lessons, memories and hard work you learned through tumbling. Keep going, stay strong! Love your blog :) ~Golda DoppGolda Cristinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08827703343782029087noreply@blogger.com
