Term use in gymnastic

Answer 1

There are many, many, MANY terms used in gymnastics. I have been doing gymnastics for about 8 years and my coaches say so many different things, that it is difficult to keep up with each word and its meaning. Nobody knows how many skills exist in gymnastics because people today will put two skills together and they will have a brand new skill with a brand new name, then, they will put THAT new skill with another skill, and guess what? You have another new skill. The list of gymnastics skills are endless. But anyhow, by "terms" you could have meant terms coaches use to improve skills. You might hear "stay tight" or "stick it" or "heel drive" a lot of times. Stay tight means to flex every muscle in your body to make your trick or flip look pretty. Stick it means to end your skill, even if you fell down. If you stick it, even with a fall, the judges will increase your score. It makes you look happy and confident and that's what judges want. There are a lot of skills, terms, and just stuff in gymnastics. The best way to learn all of these things, is try gymnastics. It's an extreme but fun sport and it keeps you fit and motivated. I love gymnastics because of the challenge, and for all the terms! :) :) :) :) :)
