Matt Brinker, coach from a brand new club, Southern Ohio Gymnastics Academy (S.O.G.A.), sent us some inspiring photos.
Here’s one with this explanation:
… the little girl fell off of the beam, rolled backward and hit her head quite hard. A few tears were shed and ice was placed on the bump. And then, with little or no hesitation and no pushing from any coach, she got up and walked over to the white board where I write the list of strength and conditioning down, read what she had to do next, and the went to the floor and started working.
What good life lesson is this teaching?
A gymnastics gym is a great place for girls to grow up.
In fact, this was only the 3rd practice ever at S.O.G.A. and there was no way this gymnast was going to sit out.
