It works on flexibility, which of course the gymnasts need, and it s very good for working on balance. In gymnastics, having the arms overhead during the exercise transfers well to what they do on the balance beam, because during part of the routine they will have their arms overhead and heir knees bent. <br>A Strong Future with Gymnasics<br><br>Although gymnastics is popular, especially at the Olympic level, the sport is not without controversy. A book entitled Little Girls in Pretty Boxes discusses some o the apparent abuses in gymnastics, especially in regard to promoting eating disorders.  The book painted the entire sport with a very broad brush, says Ayars.  Some of those abuses may take place at the elite level, which is what you see at the Olympics, but the same can be said for ed the finish line exhausted about ready to puke. But then they looked back up the hill.<br>Tey saw thir teammates exhausted and tired carryin their weight. Without exception, all those who had finished went back up the hill to help their teammates. Afterwards, an emotional Coach Shepard with tears in his eyes congratulated each team by saying,  You are all winners. Youare all Upper Limit. Tday you were elevens. Thnch of emaciated little girls they re athletic, healthy-looking young women. Further, Ayars believes that all athletes can benefit from participating in the sport at some level.  It doesn t matter what sport somebody plays, gymnastic training will help them be a better all-around athlete. <br>The Sandhills Academy of Gymnastics offers a variety of gymnastic programs, holding classes for those as young as 16 months all the way up to competitive junior Olympic teams. They also have popular recreational and tumbling classes. Ayars says that gymnastics usually costs more than most other sports, which he atributes to a lack of support from taxpayers who are more willing to subsidize main-stream sports such as baseball.<br>Ayars is vocal on the subject of how public support affects gymnastics in this country:  Men s gymnastics has been hurting at the international level because it s really developed at the collegiate level, and over the past 10 to 12 years the college men s gymnastics program has really been gutted. At the last Olympics our teams didn t do too well, but since then our international women s teams have been doing much better. <{V628Q"SE,F :,DTa[ݛRʩ=Yed%d*áV:B$ŸqA,!O,ܘKr)q&a +l¬ptujb}$;t/^\Q~Q7>u *X,wd1ISKmA#N\ "CB{7omEn6[CϷf'XSΓH4pzҨbNYbdW*tI$*E`$R k 9+g"#g(˔a<#1$jNn,z7ߓCF QR㚀0.~n7>vrĿ]Zܧ?ܹVo|ˣy 4b^O_kπCdl ^Eu --T'/o 6֙%h&u].q/UCf|Rv)=[[ȃ4ggU䮌?lQksj#[ PPxp??`ͮMwj7:VY2Kĉ`ƪA8zcgy|?Yf"kl)O$\޼i":r Au\qb7u #oUxL$FҦ楩iM1( O,ܿ{'*b8cXcADQ ئlUדMkm8҈_*|eD/fb+/-ͥ/l˜lJkpﱭH` n.0}~1SʝxSɆ}k@!ǰ2(߀ccבke-kx) Qث)-H# _$7de 0{..!={+m[Go$MnbBd2 >]7JgXѵN>?oM~Tml?rACu1my4r-ɔ
