Little work after the kids leave. Knees are getting better. The ankles are horrible. I'm back in training mode. I realized I've let myself go by focusing so much on my kids. No, not just MY KIDS! All my Tumbling Athlete's. To maintain my strength as long as I can. To be able to show instead of just tell; is a gift I'd like to keep giving. Your body eventually takes it from you. Did You hear @simonebiles gave it a name... the Twisties! Give her more credit for being a pioneer in not just creating elite Skills but, in naming effects that happen to gymnast. I can't tell you exactly when but, around my late 20s. I tried and realized my fulls just weren't there like they used to be. My mind just didn't grasp some ideals. Like it all needs explained to me again. Yet, this time my brain won't comprehend. This is so hard to explain. Yet, I realize this is also where most people never do comprehend what tumblers do. This Mental ability is what makes a great gymnast or Trampolinist. Also, NOTE. This is where we realize we must let our pride down. Unlike a sport like Football, Soccer, Volleyball. You're done by 18 usually. Your body is hurting and probably almost or had been broke a time or two. How hard it is for a NFL player to retire and say I'm done. Is exactly how a young gymnast feels when she can't physically go no more. You're sad, angry, confused, depressed. At a younger age than a retired NFL athlete mind you. An it's still hard for them to walk off that field for good. But, Knowing your talent and passion. This is where I beat my depression. Was to get back out and coach! End of the day people may forget your name. Yourself never forgets the memories. An No One, can take away your Greatness. Even if the world never seen it. πππ€ΈββοΈπ€ΈββοΈπ€ΈββοΈπ€ΈββοΈπ€ΈββοΈππ . . . #foreverathlete #lifetimeathlete #powertumbling #trampoline #trampolinist #doublemini #backhandspring #twisties #gymnast #ustastrong #jrolympian #olympics #personaltrainer #greatness #coach (at Henderson, Nevada) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSATyIUBT4Q/?utm_medium=tumblr
