SGI has Shaped Me

 

Through being a gymnast and training at SGI I have learned so many qualities that have made me who I am today. Growing up as a gymnast is such an incredible privilege. I am so thankful I was given the opportunity to do this sport and pursue my dreams. SGI has shaped me to be the person and gymnast I had always wanted to be. My time with SGI continues to help me reach my goals in my everyday life.

Some of the qualities SGI has taught over the years of my gymnastics career include: dedication, hard work, teamwork, perseverance, passion, integrity, patience, leadership, time management, and self-confidence.

The Tenacity Necessary to Succeed

 

My experience in gymnastics at SGI certainly gave me the tenacity necessary to succeed through the hardships of university, but also within the early stages of my career. Further to that, I learned how to work hard and regularly set goals which I can work towards achieving.

My Love for the Sport of

Gymnastics is Neverending

 

Being asked to look back on my time at SGI and put that experience into a couple of paragraphs  is a near impossible task. My love for the sport of gymnastics is never ending- it took a couple of tries but I managed to retire almost 10 year ago now. SGI allowed me to develop that love, and then they let me bounce back until I was ready to go. Now I go back just for hugs and the nostalgic smell of chalk and feet. 

The qualities a person develops through sport are numerous. I can vouch for the fact that it fosters time management, goal setting, perseverance, social skills, self esteem and not to mention strong bodies. But what I gained from SGI was the feeling that comes from being part of a team, a family that cares about who you grow up to be. Growing up at SGI I built relationships with coaches who cared about me and who wanted me to be my best. They taught me trust in myself and my body, and trust that the adults around me would still be there when I fell. New skills and medals are really fun, but unconditional love and respect creates the kind of self worth that you can rely on for the rest of your life.
