This is true of gymnast Connie Terrell, who started her gymnastic training when she was still in elementary school. ' I started gymnastics when I was in fifth grade, Connie said. I took classes but didn't practice in a private gym. I learned fast that practice takes hard work and discipline. You also have to set a daily schedule because practice takes up a lot of time. These practices started at 7:15 a.m. and finished two hours later every morning Monday through Friday, She added, I don't mind practices a lot because I set my goals at practice. I like to set my goals high. Many people get nervous while watching a gymnast perform because one wrong move may 8 prove to be fatal. If you concentrate on your tricks, then you don't get scared and you don't think about falling, Connie explained. I really don't ever get nervous except during the playing of the National Anthem. Although gymnastics offers different events, Connie said she didn't have a favorite. I like the floor exercise because I can express myself through the dance and musicf' she said. But it's not my favorite. Vaulting is probably my best event . . . l'm never afraid to throw a trick no matter how difficult it is.' Although she's talented, Connie isn't the only member of her family who loves gymnastics. She has two younger sisters and an older brother, all of whom are gymnasts. 1 di CONCENTRATING ON HER TRICK, Connie prepares herself for her pass during her first period gymnastics class for practice.
