  5. How to Win and Lose Gracefully in Gymnastics

    Winning and Losing Takes Grace and Skill

    Every gymnast will at some point have to face winning and losing. Learning how to win humbly and lose gracefully is very important for any athlete, but especially for gymnasts. If a gymnast never learns the "right way" to win and lose, they will face struggles in their gymnastics career. These gymnasts don't make good teammates who celebrate their friends' wins despite their own loss, or humble their own win to support a friend through a bad loss. The art of a graceful win and loss is extremely important to being a great gymnast. We wanted to share some tips and tricks on winning, and losing, gracefully in gymnastics.

    Gymnasts who start competing at a young age have more experience with winning and losing, and so are less likely to worry about a loss or brag about a win when they're older. If your child is interested in competing at a young age, let them! More experience with winning and losing will only help them later in life.
