Date: 2016-12-08 05:06 pm (UTC)I'm not sure I would've thought of my gymnastics training as 'serious sports' - certainly I took it very seriously, but I think I always regarded it as secondary to academic achievements (and parental expectation was definitely that I put my studies first) - but I suppose it looks serious from the outside. To me it was just another thing that I did, to the best of my ability, with as much practice as possible, working as hard as I could - like schoolwork, piano, dance, volunteer work, and paid weekend jobs. It was very important to me, and important to me that I did as well as I could, but I was always encouraged to see my future in some kind of career that would involve a university degree, and so studies always came first.
