About this Quote

In this quote, Shannon Miller, a previous Olympic gymnast, is highlighting the special demands of the sport of gymnastics. She explains that unlike other sports where professional athletes may use supplements or energy-boosting substances, gymnasts can not count on external sources for energy. This is because gymnastics requires a diverse set of skills and techniques, such as the explosive power required for the vault and the regulated movements required for the bars. Therefore, gymnasts need to find out to manage their energy levels and adjust to the various requirements of each occasion. This requires a high level of discipline and control, as even a small change in energy levels can greatly impact performance. In general, Miller's quote highlights the physical and psychological difficulties of gymnastics and the significance of balance and versatility in this sport.
