gymnast's needs spring boards to help "spring them into the air" if you didnt have them you would just have to jump off the ground to things taller than you and flip off of them and then stick it. it's just way to much!!
to be a top quality gymnast you need to be strong,flexible and elegant. you also need to have a passion for the sport ,if you don't love it you will never be good at it.
If a Gymnast has to hold a balance or a certain position for ages they need the strength to hold that position and not go off balance. Also if the performance is long or difficult the gymnast needs to be fit or have enough endurance to Carry out the performance
so they dont fall over
Several of the moves and flips gymnast perform require enough strength to hold their own weight. For example to be able to do a handstand the gymnast has to be strong enough to hold their entire weight on their hands. They also need strength to avoid injury.
You can basically get free apps and get cool springboards.

Strength and power, flexibility and Balance
The most important characteristics you need to be a gymnast are determination and willingness to learn. While it is also important to be flexible and strong, having a good additude is much more important.
A gymnast does your mom and your dad
you do not have to be a gymnast/former gymnast but you have to have a lot of knowledge about the sport. Coaching would be easier if you were a gymnast/former gymnast because you as the coach can relate to how your gymnast is improving and maybe make suggestions. For example 'When I did that skill.........'
That is the correct spelling of "gymnast."
