She says that she never gets tired of training; still, she knows that a good athlete needs more than just the gym."I look around and see a lot of people today who are choosing not to finish school. Most of them would rather work and earn money than get an education. In my family education was valued, but in other families how soon you can earn money is more important. But if you put it in perspective, education is a vehicle. In sports, it's a way to get a free ride. If you can be an athlete who can make the grades, then you're more of an asset. Kids who just concentrate on sports don't understand that schools also look at whether you're going to be able to stay eligible all those years." <br><br>She has not forgotten her own academic pursuits, and says that her parents won't let her forget them either. "Remember, my mom's a teacher!" While med school had been a high priority when she entered Stanford, she's now thinking the Ph.D. program and a career in psychology may be more to her liking. Chryste has been very active as a motivational speaker to junior and high school students, and she feels much more work needs to be done o motivate kids today. "Opportunities are out there if you try to do well in school and excel in your athletic endeavors, but a lot of kids don't know this," she says."Collegiate sports for women are only now really being recognized. I'm excited for the young women who are in high school because tings are changing so fast for women in sports. Just look at what Atlanta did for women's baseball. And, now we have women's hockey." <br><br>Chryste hopes that the public will give more recognition to women track athletes in the years to come, and not just during the Olympics. "We get recognition, but I think we deserve a lot more. People are just now getting used to the idea of women as real athletes. <br><br>Another thing they have to remember is that women athletes-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 attributes 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. <hб%o:HdRUܳ1u{䉜 ]@LjhWf?f;SD[-q+LX@[#$hENmx tEdڷlv~ZitGi#E?Kh-#8TOJ8I~,)|n?
