14 Year Old Level 3 Gymnast?
6 Answers
So last year I started gymnasticsgym age 13-14 and I learned that I was pretty good at it. I started in level 1 and I progressed to level 3 in two months. I'm in level three now but I have all the skills for it. I know that I'm starting very late but I was wondering of I train very hard will I maybe be able to compete on the future on clubs maybe even college? I am doing gymnastics for my school in the winter of 2014 (note: my school trains 6 days a week for 3-4 hours each day). I also plan on training for summer spring and fall every week (everyday in summer). I am very confidant about this and I'm ready to make any commitment. I'm a freshmen in high school right now and I will be going to college in 4 years. If I train EXTREMELY HARD, will I be successful in higher levels (levels 7-elite) I know my time is poor but I'm ready to train as much as needed.

The language in your post suggests that you're in the USA. You've posted on a UK site, where the structure of gymnastics 'levels' may well be different to those in your home country. (i.e. even if there are any experts in gymnastics around here, your post might not make complete sense to them). You might get a better response on a US Q&A website, such as one of these:

As I'm sure you're aware, most people who make it to the highest international levels in gymnastics are already learning before starting school and are actively competing only a year or two later, so you might find that it's too late to progress to the highest standards. However there are always a few exceptions in any sport. In my teaching days I met several young people who were destined for national and international success in various sports. Real talent is usually easily spotted. Ask your coach(es) just how high they think you can go if you put in maximum effort. They will probably be more able to give you an accurate answer than anyone on a Q&A website can.
Remember though that sport should be mainly about enjoyment. If you ever find that the fun has gone out of it, it's time to give it up!

If you really want it and your coaches has already told you so that you are good at it then go for it. I can see that you are really positive about this activity. If you really work hard I think you'll do a great job in being a gymnast.
