Taylor Chosen As Gym Dogs' Athlete Of The Week
October 06, 2008 | Gymnastics
Grace Taylor has been chosen as the Athlete of the Week by the Georgia gymnastics coaches.
Taylor was selected because of her above-average effort level of pushing herself past what was expected of her. She maintained a positive and upbeat attitude throughout the entire week amidst the challenges they were all faced with.
Taylor pushed herself on floor to get her endurance up by trying to add her second and third passes to her newly choreographed routine. Her tumbling is back to where it was during nationals last year, which is a huge step at this time of year.
She overcame some fears on beam by performing her dismount since nationals and was determined to make it happen. Bars is coming along with each and every day being an improvement.
She continued to keep a positive attitude, which became contagious and uplifting for her teammates. This is one of the toughest times for the athletes. Taylor shared that with her family, and her sister and mom showed up in practice on Friday with motivating quotes and goodies to cheer the girls up. What a blessing she and her family were this past week!
