My Athlete

Just before school ended we got the word that Ravyn had been asked to join the Gulf Coast Gym Gymnastics Team.  We are beyond excited and so proud of Ravyn! 

The strangest part has been hearing the coaches talk about the kids.  In recreational gymnastics each child is a student.  But, as team parents, our kids are referred to as athletes.  Coaches talked with us about what to feed our athletes, what is expected of our athletes, etc.

As for Ravyn, she is now in the gym 3 days a week for 3 hours at a time to train for her first meet, competing level 3, in August.

Here’s a look at her first team meeting.  She was so excited!
