Gymnastics Update 4 - A universal gymnastics crisis

You all know my gymnastics journey quite well but I'm going to shift gears and talk about a crisis that has pretty much rocked the gymnastics development in a negative way.

Majority of olympic gymnasts come from the university/college programs and somehow instead of programs spreading they are just being shut and shattering the dreams of thousands of fellow gymnasts and the latest is UC Berkeley with 4 other programs also being shut. A problem like this needs to be addressed and fought for (but also prayed about) because these guys have fought their whole lives to get to where they are and slowly their dreams are just coming to standstill that could have been prevented in the first place. I know because as a gymnast myself I have the same dreams as all these gymnasts have.

I ask anyone who reads this to pray for the college gymnastics program to be saved and even join the following groups on facebook.

Its a huge deal and even if you're not a gymnast I still ask you guys to pray about this whole crisis and that by Gods grace and glory that these programs will be saved and in even brought back in the institutions that have cut the programs. Give gymnasts a chance everywhere to grow in this awesome sport without having to deal with all the nonsense and tragic cuts thats happening before our very eyes.
