Many gymnasts do not realize how important it is to take some time off in the peak of their season. They are so used to pushing everyday going to school and the gym.

Rest, restoration and relaxation are crucial aspects of an athlete's overall recovery and positive outcome to their performance. This time of season you may find you have a few weekends off. This is a great opportunity to allow yourself to recover and it can have very positive result to the rest of your season.

Of course everyone wants to hit or compete well at meets. It shows the college coach many things that are important when they are trying to decide on their future teams. But what if you struggle? Jill shares how you can turn your season into something positive by communicating all that you are learning whether things go smooth or rocky.

It is so refreshing and like a breath of fresh air when we stop looking around at others and comparing ourselves to them.

We are all at a different pace, ability and timing in regards to our progress and being recruited

Staying focused on what we can control is the key! But I also believe being grateful for the little things in our lives will release us from a lot of anxiety.

It is so important to go to practice and meets focused on you and not looking around at others. Be encouraged as you listen to these 10 items as to why you do not want to live by comparing yourself to others and especially in the recruiting process

I always say recruiting is like a roller coaster ride. Lots of ups and downs throughout the journey. Audrey was on her way to a Division 1 team and encountered a few injuries. Ultimately, she decided it was best to not pursue college gymnastics. While not easy I so appreciate Audrey being willing to let us into her story. She is strong, smart and took the time to make the best decision for her future. I can't wait to see where she lands for college and all the doors that I believe will open in her life even without doing sports.

Thank you Audrey!
