  • Life has been so exciting, scary, and crazy since I quit gymnastics. Trying to adjust to a life without hours of training everyday has been super interesting and I've learned a lot about myself. This video was filmed in august and I never got around to editing it until now. I've been super busy recording and working on new projects coming soon. I am so exciting for what's to come! I have a BRAND NEW SINGLE coming out on Septemper 29th that you can pre-save now! More new music this year!

    it’s so great that you’re posting. i grew up watching your videos and gymnastics meets, now i’m trying to cope with the fact that you’re done with the sport, but i’m so happy you did what makes you feel good, quitting something you committed to your entire life and now making music. wish you all the best, hope your career of music takes off ❤

    Thank you Whitney, it is so wonderful to see what you have been up to and to hear your voice again. I hope the headaches have gone and that nothing else falls on your head. I am so glad to see that you are doing choro for some gymnasts, so that your style and gracefulness is not lost to the sport. It was also good to see you and Cilla together again. I'm looking forward to your new E.P. Take care Whit and remember, we love you.

    I just have it play within sight while I work, and can watch closer when there's action. Also, I feel it's more honest. I have fur felt hats in brown, grey, silver belly, black and a few straw hats for those summer months. I wear them daily with at shirt and jeans and dress then up with a western style pearl snap or button up and button down shirts

    I'm a lifelong fan of various musicians including Waylon Jennings & the Beatles. I used to aspire to a singing career of my own, but I never could connect with the right people so it never panned out. When I was a young lad & my sister was in jr high, she did gymnastics, but it was limited to floor. I 1st heard of you a few days before typing this, when listening to the All Things Gymnastics podcast. Athlete plus musician is a beautiful combination. Keep the music coming! :)

      @@wendykerth8778she walked away from a sport she said herself she’d come to hate putting herself through, a sport which consumed her life to the point it was pretty much the only thing she did outside of eating and sleeping and school. Quitting isn’t always negative, and in this case it’s obviously been the best thing for her. She’s had an incredibly successful gymnastics career and is now pursuing other things like music. Quitting whilst you’re ahead is better than pushing yourself even though you’re hating it. Maybe she’ll return to gymnastics in some capacity in later life, but I think one thing she said in this video sums it up best (paraphrased): she now works out at the gym because she wants to, not because she has to, and she enjoys it so much more.

    Hello, gymnastic girl. I haven't seen your video for a long time. I am very happy to see you. When I remember the first time I saw you on CZcams, I never thought that one day I would see you again at this age and with such beauty. You are more beautiful than ever. I like your songs very much, your voice inspires me and gives me peace when I want to sleep, I listen to one of your songs. I am very happy that your old friend is still with you. She is a kind and good girl. Don't forget that she shared your joys and sorrows and loves you very much. She is a very good friend for you. I don't know if you both have boyfriends or not? I hope you marry the person you love, although no boy deserves you. I saw your beautiful sister in one of the videos. Believe me, it is very beautiful and lovely. I love his cheerful attitude, he is always happy in any group. I like her very much . No boy will ever deserve her. I love her beautiful eyes. She is a heavenly angel. Your good brothers are the best brothers on the planet. They are loving and kind and love you two sisters. I hope you are all safe and healthy under the protection of God and under the shadow of your parents. Bye
