My name is Alyssa please help me in achieving my goals in Gymnastics

I am a young talented 13 year old Gymnast and have been doing gymnastics for the past 7 years. I currently train up to 28 hours a week.

An extraordinary opportunity has arisen for me to compete and train, in 3 top Gymnastics Clubs in China, training alongside China’s National team.

I have put the hard work in for the last seven years, training up to 28 hours a week, enduring injury along the way, but still with the same goal in mind of reaching Olympic potential.

I have consistently achieved since I was placed in the International Development Programme back in 2011.

In 2011 I exceeded all expectations at my first international competition in Australia, and was named 2011 Australian National Clubs Champion.

In 2012, I placed 2nd All Around at the New Zealand National Championships, and did well again in Australia placing 3rd, All Around.

In 2013, I was the only Gymnast in New Zealand to compete in IDP8, and was awarded the NZ National Title. I went on to compete with a very talented group of girls at Australian National Clubs where I placed 1st on Beam and 3rd on floor on the first day.

2014 wasn’t a good year due to injury, which prevented me competing, but I still went to training every day to keep up my strength and conditioning.

With the opportunities ahead, I will take this in my stride, and push myself to extremities for 2015.
