Having trouble deciding what sport.
I have been doing gymnastics for basically my whole life. I thought that it basically defined me until this year, when I joined track. I'm a really good sprinter, and hurdler. I qualified for states in both events, and it's my first year. The problem is next year, my brother is going off to college so my mom is getting a full-time job. I won't be able to get my lisence for another two years, so there is no way I could drive my self to sports, but my mom said she would only have time to drive me to one. Plus, I'm going to need to get a job. My question is, what would be a better choice? (in your opinion, I don't care if I should do what my heart desires, because I have NO IDEA!) haha. but back to that point, would it be a better choice to stick with the sport I know and am good at, though I might not excel as much as it, along with all of the friends I have made throughout my time in that sport? Or should I continue on with the sport I will undoubtedly go far in? Please tell me why you chose the sport as well. Thank you very much!

From personal experience, I wish I stuck with what I began with. I started dance at a young age and did it for years, but got a little bored and wanted to do something new. I quit, and never found anything to devote myself to as much as dance. Soon I was behind (it's deffinitely easy to get out of shape for gymnastics and behind, because it was really easy for ballet)and had to take classes with kids a couple years younger then me. I never really got back into it. Gymnastics has been your passion for a long time, I don't think finding one thing new will change that. You could do track things by yourself and not on a team considering that'd be less time consuming, but gymnastics you can't really safely do without the help of a coach.
You can go as far as you want in either sport, it all depends on the time, effort, and heart you put into it. Many atheletes didn't start out on pure talent, they found something they liked and worked on it. But if your not trying to excel far, go with what you'll have more fun with and love.
Good luck

if i were you, i would stick with doing track because you can meet new people and its some thing new! you'll get faster, which if ever get tired of this sport, then you can do a different sport because you are very fast at running. you'll probably get tired of gymnastics 2. look at the cost difference, which one costs more, what's the difference between the 2. if you have to get a job, and your mom will have to get a full time job, then chose the cheeper one so it's not as expensive. no matter what you chose, both of the sports are good. GOOD LUCCK!

I would stay with track because its something new. Gymnastics for you probably will be more boring because if you have been doing it all your life. And plus I think you would be more successful in track hearing you qualified for state and it was only your first year too. Just think what you can do next year. I wish you luck!!

Why not take a break from gymnastics? I was a competative cheerleader for almost five years and I thought it was my life; then I played volleyball. I was very good as a beginner and chose to take a break from cheerleading. Now I've become passionate about volleyball and I don't plan on going back to cheerleading. You can always try to go back to gymnastics, so just give it a break for a bit. Go with track and see where it can take you. Its usually more fun to succeed :)

I think you should do the sport you like more. Since you've done gymnastics your whole life, you should try something new because there's a lot more to sports than just that. Cheerleading would be good for you because you can do most of the stunts, and it's just as fun.
If you're good at running, you can do girl's lacrosse, soccer, field hockey, track, or football if you'd like. I think you should do the sport you like most, and see what it has to offer you.

Well if your good at running, i'd say soccer would be a good sport for you. I only played for two years but it was really fun.
