I loved gymnastics when I was in school, and I also did it in University. I became quite good at it and my coach was amazing. I miss it. Now I go to the gym every day, but it's nothing like training with the horse and the rings and stuff...

I took gymnastics when I was a kid, but I quit before I reached competition level. I was good at floor but sucked on balance beam.

I liked athletics but hated gym class. The teacher and other kids would yell at me and I couldn't figure it out. I loved to run, though. I could run forever. So the cross-country team was great. I also love to climb.

I didn't figure out how to play team sports until I started playing rugby a few years ago. It's still difficult, because I have to think of 'tricks' to get around the problems my brain has. But it works pretty well now.

It sounds like you're a natural athlete, bdhkhsfgk, and don't have problems with the team action. Good for you!

I was a level 9 (US system) gymnast. Then I broke myself. Now I coach level 2-6 girls.

Other sports were hard, but nothing flies at me in gymnastics! I do the flying.
