I came away from a photoshoot last weekend amazed by the skills, strength, determination, bravery, poise, and comradeship that every single one of these young gymnasts demonstrated. And they did it with beaming smiles.
Being the father of an aspiring gymnast myself, this further cemented my encouragement and support for her to pursue her goals and follow her dreams. And in today’s unsettling climate of societal divisions and asinine conflicts, only later did it dawn upon me that, with young ladies like these taking the helm, we can rest assured knowing our future is in extremely good hands.
Congratulations to Umpqua Valley Gymnastics for taking home a weighty haul of medals, and to FlightSchool Gymnastics for organizing a great event.
