Certainly, her coaches had a lot to do with her success. They gave herrepparttar practical experience needed for proper training and forrepparttar 140904 creativity she displays in her favored events. Good gymnastics schools, dedication to her work, and certainlyrepparttar 140905 allure of championships kept her motivated, and as she won title after title, she improved withrepparttar 140906 help of internationally renowned teams of gymnasts. And, too, love ofrepparttar 140907 sport itself inspired by her coaches and her mentors aided her torepparttar 140908 point where she is today…but to attribute all of her success torepparttar 140909 work of these individuals would be erroneous without, of course, mentioning her parents.

Her mother, Natalie, and her father, Ricky, played perhapsrepparttar 140910 most important role in any young person’s life. They gave her encouragement; they were there when she needed them. This goes doubly for Miss Patterson, for they also showed confidence and interest in her gymnastics endeavors--in fact, by enrolling her in Gymnastics Elite, they gave her a good running start for motivation. It was with their help, too, that she got through some ofrepparttar 140911 most difficult times of her career thus far. An injury to her elbow kept her out of several national and international championships; it was with her parents’ support that she was rehabilitated, and has now risen to become an Olympic star.

You, as a parent of a gymnast, can certainly take this to heart. You don’t have to be particularly well off to give your gymnastrepparttar 140912 confidence they need to becomerepparttar 140913 best. In fact, all you have to do is encourage your child; if they show interest inrepparttar 140914 sport, let them participate. If they do well, encourage them further.

They’re already champions.
