So a little backround info first...When I was 4 I joined gymnastics and loved it SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much, and I still do, but when I turned 9, I decided to quit because I forgot how to trust my body to do things and was too scared to learn new things. Specificaly the back walkover on the beam. I thought for sure my hands would miss the bean and I would crack my head open! So I quit.:( There have been many nights since then that I cry myself to sleep about quitting it. I helped keep my grades up, kept my focused. I went there 24 hrs a week! I got pretty attached. After I quit I joined soccer and that hepled me focus a little too. But now I do ballet and horse back riding each once a week and my grades are horrid and I can't focus on anything to save my life! I am scared of so many things and have to plan out everything!?
My questions are Why do I feel the need to plan everything out? Why did I lose trust in my body? Nothing tramatic happened! Also, how do I gain back that focus? I exercise 2 hours or more a day and can't focus and can't replace gymnastics. I am hungry for competition! But I am not good enough in any of my current sports to compete. An dI con't quit them either. Please help! Thanks! :D

As you grow up we all change, you quit gymnastics because your were uncomforatable doing it and if you felt that way then, then possibly if you go back to that sport you will feel the same way. If you feel you want to do gymnastics then do it! My friend is 13 and she just started doing gymnastics. All it requires it practice. When I quit gymnastics at like 8 or 9 years old I started softball and then swimming and swimming is the best thing ever! You have to find something you really enjoy but that doesn't mean you have to 'stick with it.' As we exersice to get in shape so we don't collapse. If you like soccer? Do it. If you like horse back riding? do it. If you want to do gymnastic and enjoy it. go for it. As you need to work for all 3 of these sports or which ever one you chose to be good it doesn't just come naturally :) So good luck and I hope I helped you out a little bit [ babymoby's advice column | Ask babymoby A Question ]
