distracting the coaches so you don't have to do that one skill

heated conversations while putting your guards on

having incurable injuries

when you ask for a spot but you still won't go

at least your sport has an off season

handstand holds when your wrists are about to snap

being a completely different person at the gym, at school and at home

only other gymnasts will understand how hard it actually is

when you try so hard to get something but you just can't

having a skill perfect and then having to remind yourself how you did it

doing a great beam routine and slightly wobbling on your turn

getting distracted by your rips in class

when your sore ankles hit the beat board and your sore back hits the mats

walking on any remotely beam like surface like its a real beam
