Gymnastics and the rest of your life

Anne Josephson:

You might think that some of the choices you make as a gymnast are pretty big ones. Choosing a gym club, which summer gym camp or even their optional floor music can feel like a monumental deal with everlasting consequences. And, these choices are significant.

These are the choices that will serve you well for the rest of your life.

Here are some of my favorites:

NCAA Gymnastics in Texas?

Dwight Normile got the gymternet buzzing with this post:

Why Doesn’t Texas Have Division I Gymnastics?

Great question.

For the second year in a row the NCAA Women’s Gymnastics National Championships will be held in Fort Worth, Texas. April 15-17th, 2016.

Attendance was disappointing last year, I thought.
