What is a better way to stay active
then by doing sports acrobatics? Sports acrobatics should be in the Olympics because it is healthy for the body and teaches many life lessons. Sports acrobatics uses
every inch of mental and physical strength. Also the sport teaches a variety of
lessons that can be used in everyday life.
Sports acrobatics is very healthy sport.
It makes an individual work out all different types of muscles that they may not even know existed in their body. Sports acrobatics requires a lot of flexibility that
is great for the body because “it improves range of motion of your joints and boosts
circulation” (Mayo Clinic Staff 1). Personally I love the sport because it
helps relieve my stress that has been building up throughout the day. I was
always excited to go to the gym with my partners to get my mind off of things. Sports
acrobatics is a great stress reliever because it requires so much energy
exertion and when practice is over athletes feels like a new person. We should put sports acrobatics into the Olympics because it makes people healthy and encourages a healthy lifestyle.
Lastly the sports teaches a numerous amount of life
lessons. It teaches a person that hard work and determination will pay off at the
end. Many times during my acro career I wanted to give up on a certain skill, but
my coach told me to stay focused and that I would eventually grasp the skill. The
feeling of finally accomplishing a hard skill is something that no words can
describe. The sport also teaches athletes discipline. The coaches expect a lot
out of their athletes and that they represent the team the best way. I was
privileged to go to Switzerland to complete in an international competition
representing the United States. I learned so much at that competition. I was only twelve,
but was taught certain manners in the international atmosphere. The delegation
was held up to a high standard because representing the United States in a correct fashion.
The sport offers many international experiences to meet new people and their culture around the world. I was able to meet people from my own birth country,
Kazakhstan, and many other people around the world. Making sports acrobatics an Olympic sport gives different types of athletes an amazing experience and something that they can cherish for the rest of their lives.
Sports acrobatics already has many international
competitions around the globe; why not take it to the next level :the Olympics? We
should give the chance of acrobatics athletes to the biggest competition in the world. The
Olympics is an awesome experience and we should push acro athletes to strive for
bigger goals. Besides it is healthy sport for the body and will keep you fit and making it an Olympic sport will encourage more people to join the sport.
Many lessons are always being taught through the sport, which the athletes can
carry in with them for the rest of their lives. This sport has taught me to
have a strong work ethic, determination, and the desire to be the best I can
be. We should all push to put Sports acrobatics into the Olympics.
