QUESTION:
Dear Coach,
I love gymnastics. I am 14, and I have just started out. I am ahead of my beginner class thanks to books and the internet. I would like to improve my upper body strength, how do I do that? My family thinks I should do recreational but I want to compete, I wanted to go to the Olympics but I doubt that will happen. My goal is to reach at least level 6 by the time I am 17. If I exceed it, good for me, if I don’t, Oh well, always next year. My only problem is that I would have to take a weekday 1hr 30min class. My gym is so far away I wouldn’t be able to make it. I really want to compete. How do I show my coach that it would be worth her while to come down here where I live and teach me at the YMCA?
– Thanks, Courtney

QUESTION:
Dear Coach,
I am fourteen years old and would like to join gymnastics. I have no experience of the sport besides two years of ballet I don’t even remember. So, what I was wondering was, should I start straight with a class in gymnastics or should I take a few classes of tumbling and ballet first and if so for how long? I would also like to know what weight and height would be appropriate for my age.
– Thanks, Hadassah Nagy
