Kids are determined little creatures, aren’t they?
They can get an idea into their head and resolutely refuse to be deterred (cue my four-year-old son deciding that he must categorise all of his toy car collection by tyre size at 8pm).
Now, can you imagine your child as a professional athlete who is in training for the Olympics?
How determined would they be to get up, time after time, having fallen down and suffering physical pain (and probable embarrassment) to try harder?
This amazing video from Gymnastics Progression documents the journey of two of their hard-working gymnasts, and has been shared online over 1.5 million times.
In some sections of the video, I was literally cringing and wondering how on earth they were physically able to continue on, but by the end, I honestly thought, ‘Rock on, girls’
The message ‘Be proud of the struggle’ is also so great, and a reminder to us all to enjoy the journey as well as the end result, no matter what that end result might be.
