I reassure my gymnasts all the time that I was scared of EVERY trick I had.

I love the sport so much for the mental discipline it teaches kids. "It's scary but you've trained in all the phases leading up to this. Focus. Trust your training. Trust your body. Execute." And then their eyes light up when they do it!

There's just nothing else like it. Nothing. All my success in my adult life came from the mental strength I built in the gymnastics gym.

I put my daughters in sports because of the mental discipline you learn along the way. Serves you well later in life.
