The phrase that was taught to me is “if you want something, then go after it”, that’s what my mother always used to tell me. “Or as Rocky Balboa says if you want something go after it and do not let people tell you, that you can’t be this or that that is your decision”.

  • Sport Of Gymnastics Scholarship Essay

    Naturally, I faced the competition of other gymnasts, however, meets were not where my most valuable lessons were learned. The impact was greater in times I wanted to quit, and didn’t. For instance, my flyway, a skill I acquired as a child, became impossible for me to execute as a teenager. Each time I attempted to perform it, I froze, fear lingering in my mind. Frustrated, I contemplated abandoning my passion, yet, due to my persistence, I overcame the obstacle. I found quitting would never provide me the satisfaction I hungered for. Gymnastics also challenged my body. I suffered more injuries than the average gymnast with broken feet, fingers, toes, and elbows, a concussion, and two stress fractures in two years. My final injury, a torn labrum, resulted in hip surgery, six months of physical therapy, and the death of my college gymnastics dream. Through disaster emerged strength to cope with every roadblock I encounter. All of my life I had worked towards that goal, and with the lift of a scalpel, it was shattered. Thankfully, the qualities gymnastics has given me has transferred to every aspect of my life including my academic career. I have put in just as much effort in the classroom as I have in the

    They reported that the foremost reasons for leaving the sport were psychological fatigue, general health, and difficult loads (Barynina & Vaitsekhovskii, 1992). Rhythmic gymnasts, those who specialized earlier and spent more hours training from age 4 to 16 years, rated their health lower and experienced less fun (Law et al., 2007). Despite early specialization being beneficial to attain elite-level skill in a sport, intense training in a single sport and the exclusion of others should be delayed until adolescence to optimize success, while minimizing the potential for

  • The Stress of Childhood Gymnastics

    2770 Words  | 6 Pages

    For years gymnastics has been a sport that many children participate in. But as the years have gone by it has turned into something other than a place for kids to grow and learn. Its overwhelming commitment has continued to replace kids’ childhoods with stress, mental and physical pain and eating disorders. Many results have come from this change in the gymnastics society. Gymnasts have come to a point where they have been told and directed to understand that winning is the only important factor in gymnastics. “ It’s about the elite child athlete and the American obsession with winning that has produced a training environment wherein results are bought in at any cost, no matter how devastating. It’s about how cultural fixation on beauty and weight on youth has shaped the sport and driven the athletes into a sphere beyond the quest for physical performance.” (Ryan 5)

    My friends, teachers and family all seem to envision the same future for me and it comes paired with high expectations. They all want me to pursue various high paying jobs that require intense commitment and enduring more long years of schooling. I understand that everyone’s opinions are only told with intentions of seeing me reach my full potential, but occasionally it would be easier people didn’t have such high hopes. At present, I am not even entirely sure what I want to become in life. I have never considered that my passion may lay in something that does not require a university education because of the expectations set for me by others and myself. The thought that twelve years of working hard to finish assignments, studying to do well on exams and maintaining marks will result in even more grueling work is undesirable. I often feel like my conscience needs a mental holiday. More tempting thoughts become my desire to to travel around the world and experience different cultures, or envisioning a future where I have a job with low education requirements so that I may actually be able to live my life. However, people always tells me that it would be a shame to let all of my hard work go to waste. Even though there is these easier more comfortable solutions to my problems, I know I must take responsibility and at least attempt to live my full potential. I

    Perhaps one of the most difficult aspects of the practice of law is learning to be a lawyer. Virtually every new lawyer today is a graduate of law school, a much dreaded, but fulfilling journey to practicing law. Modern law schools differ greatly from their earlier counterpart, in that many more requirements and responsibilities exist. In colonial times, students pursuing a career in law would enter institutions for instruction of the law, and would automatically become qualified to practice law in the courts after a few years of study.
