Gymnastics is year round and we plan on keeping her in it as long as we can. She is very talented and loves doing it. She is in great physical shape because of it and is learning healthy lessons for life. It seems she progresses with each week and her coach tells us that Level 4 is coming quickly. Which means competition is coming quickly. It is exciting and scary at the same time. As some of you know, gymnastics is a very demanding sport and requires dedication from not only the gymnast, but their family as well! There is quite a bit of travel and expenses involved. However, we agree that the benefits of being a dedicated gymnist will pay off in the end. Hopefully, she can achieve a scholarship and as I mentioned before she is learning life lessons as well. She has learned how to handle difficult situations, different personalities and how to adjust to them, how to be and stay healthy and active, and what it means to be dedicated to something and to a team.
I think it is obvious that we are so proud of our Princess. The girl can spit fire at times, but that same determination is what drives her to achieve her goals. We love you Jordyn Riley! Keep up the hard work!
