What most people know about gymnastics is what they see on TV during the Summer Olympics. They don't see the drive, dedication, commitment, or passion that gymnastics takes. They don't know that this sport requires four-hour practices (full of chalk, sweat, and tears) everyday, all year round. We are in the gym every practice trying to figure out one thing: how to land on our feet. The most important thing gymnastics has taught me is how to rise after I have fallen. My team is Perry Juniata, and this is us beyond the routine.
