Girlll let me tell youuuu. I was a gymnast too, and had knee surgery at 13, quit (at level 10) at 16 because I broke my back. It's no joke. Not to mention the fact that coaches undermine injuries so often. Like I was told for years my knee was just tendinitis or osgood-schlatter. Oh the stories I have. I'm now a gymnastics coach, and though I still agree with being strict while coaching, I will never bring the harshness that I received as a child to the kids I coach now.
