i’m sad you’re leaving gymnastics katie but i’m so proud you’re going to join cheerleading. it’s great that you’re going to explore new sports and you were so talented in gymnastics you’re going to be insane in cheerleading! i wish the best for you and hope you fall in love with your new sport 💗
I believe that ❤️😃
Shes gonna be super good @ cheer especially the flexible parts of it she'll be one of the main ones and also tumbling(flips & stuff) she'll be one of the main talented ones in that too😍 and if she ever does dance or is on a dance team or anything similar she will be really good @ it like one of the best🔥
Yup, shes deff in the popular group in school.
Danielle Smith whats that suppose to mean !??!?
isabell givionna it means she's in the popular group in school. lol
Danielle Smith well i get that but i don't take what you said about her as a complement lol or mabey I'm misuderstanding
it's not a bad thing. I wish I was popular.
Danielle Smith why popularity is dumb. What would being popular do for you. How would it benefit you as a person. Just asking
I feel like gymnastics has also changed a bit for Katie after moving gyms, her friends quitting gym aswell and all of her injuries🤷🏼♀️. Best of luck in cheer and high school Katie 👍
Jorjye Popow it shouldn’t matter if your “friends” leave. Friends change all the time as you grow into an adult
it’s always good to try new things! i can’t wait to see what the future holds for you!
LOVE YOU BETHANY G
Plz never quit gymnastics!!!
I love your videos Bethany G
Hi
Bethany G yea.
I saw it coming. Your decision to go back to public school was the first sign. Then you were always so exhausted between gym and school. And I'm sure you were tired of breaking your toes all the time. Good luck with your future! It will be fantastic :)
emmylikesdonuts I saw she could have done public and gymnastics at the same time. Just because someone is a high level doesn’t mean they need to be homeschooled.
Yes I do understand that, I actually know some level 10 girls who also go to public school. However, it just kind of seemed to me that she was losing passion for gymnastics. Making the decision is perfectly fine and was probably the right decision for her life, but it just seemed like she was making the decision because she wanted to explore other things and make sure gymnastics was the right thing, which in a way would mean that she was losing some of her passion.
My friend is a lvl 9 and goes to public school with me and she’s in advanced classes but she’s doing just fine handling all that. I think Katie was just losing her passion for gym with breaking her toes and everything
nene 1923 That's great :) I love it when gymnasts are dedicated to gymnastics but don't make it the only thing in their life. It's great to experience other things :) It was just that when Katie chose to go to school after doing only gymnastics for all those years, it seemed like she was kind of losing interest, if you know what I mean.
neha yes but some people can’t handle all of it, it’s a lot and her gymnastics was a lot more than other gyms
I loved this video, but did anyone else find it hilarious when Brennan shouted ,”I can’t help sneezing!” It killed me lol😂😂
skye bekir literally me. Getting yelled at by my siblings for sneezing
Yes 😂😂😂
When I read this comment the part came on and I was like “omg perfect timing😂”
skye bekir I actually laughed really hard at that part 😂😂😂
skye bekir sameeeeee
Didn't you break both big toes at different times? Depending on the school, the cheerleading might have some gymnastics in it. It's possible the school has a gymnastics team as well. You'll do amazing no matter what you do Katie.
Boodieman72 colleges have gymnastics teams. I never heard of a high school gymnastics team
Marisol some high schools have them. My high school has a gymnastics team.
Yes, HS gymnastics might be an option! My school has s great team:)
Boodieman72 why would she leave gymnastics at a gym, to do it in school.? And yes she broke them in different times
E Long but why would she leave the gym, to do it in school?
I love her perspective “the doors not shut for gymnastics it’s just.. cracked” awwww Katie I love you that’s the best thing anyone could say for themselves!
Omg congrats on making varsity in cheerleading! That’s really good for being just a freshman! You’ve got this!
With your toe injuries over the last couple years, it is not surprising for you to have second thoughts about continuing gymnastics and wanting to try something different. I have kind of got the feeling that your passion for gymnastics hasn't been there since the last injury. Good luck on your new adventures and congrads on making the varsity team.
one year ago i made the same decision as you. after 11 years of high skilled competitive gymnastics i stopped because of injuries and since i was mid way through freshman year i wanted to really experience high school. i was able to attend school dances, football games, and many after school activities that i never had the chance to before. i did one year of varsity cheer, indoor track, and softball. i never thought i would love anything more than gymnastics until i tried something new. i now have broken a record in track and am on two softball teams. i was even able to travel across the world on a once and a lifetime trip and spend more time with the people i love. nothing has ever changed my life more than the decision to stop and i have no regrets. gymnastics will still be my one and only true passion but you never know what the world has to offer until you try new things. i can’t wait to see what you try next. :)
I am a gymnast and had that same feeling about 2 months ago. I am still currently doing it but trying to have more fun than competitive. I and hopefully everyone else are supporting you though the whole time!!!
Although I may be sad...I also want the best for you! Best of luck in cheer😀
I knew you were going to make the cheer team but I didn't expect Varsity although it makes COMPLETE sense. Congratulations!! I'm so excited to see where this new journey will take you!
I’m so proud of you Katie! All the hours that you have spent at the gym, it’s sad that you’re leaving for now but I feel that going into high school and getting that experience is going to be a great journey.
I completely understand! I went through the exact same thing and am probably gonna try out for cheer in high school. You really inspired me and helped me realize I'm not the only one who is going through this!! Thanks!
I’m so proud of u Katie! U made a beautiful discovery to share ur talents else where and they will be well appreciated u have so much potential in anything u do! 💘
OMG KATIE! We support you no matter what! I cant believe you actually quit. Totally understandable tho! We love you❤️❤️
Making varsity cheer is an amazing thing! Cheer has been apart of my whole life up until last year when I injured my back and it put me out for the year, but when I was not cheering I saw a different side of my life and I decided not to go back. I hope you enjoy cheering because it is truly a great sport and remember you will always have gymnastics because although you won’t be doing the same events you can still use your skills and grow. Ily
Katie, I know you have a love for Gymnastics. That will never change. I was in band in middle school and High School. It is something I still have a love for. But just think all your gymnastics skills will help you in the cheer adventures. Good luck to you and Brennan!
Aww whatever makes you happy ❤️❤️ I just hope you continue doing what you love
This is sad... Becasue all the gymnasts i look up to are quitting... But I'm really happy for you... I hope you have a lot of fun
Angelina Houser same
I know exactly how you feel, I used to be a gymnast but decided to stop to have a high school experience and loved it! i miss the sport but I don’t regret stopping and I support you so much! nice work katie
You’ll always be a gymnast...it’s in your heart forever. All the memories and friendships will remain. Congratulations on Cheer and making Varsity is quite the accomplishment. Good Luck. Stay happy and positive.
It’s okay to want to try new things. I’m really sad that you are leaving gymnastics though. I figured you’d be the next Shawn Johnson. Love you Katie!! Behind you all the way!!
❤ Katie. You're a very strong independent girl that's been through so many ups and downs. You got this! Maybe you needed this changed for the better. I know there going to be people's that are going to disagree with your decision but if they are a real fan of yours they'll support you no matter what
Robert Clark 😌 well said
Katie it has been amazing watching you grow into a beautiful young lady, and I'm looking forward to seeing you navigate high school! You're a smart, level-headed girl, you have a deep appreciation for everyone who has helped you in the sport, and you are showing courage in accepting how bittersweet this is and taking a new risk. Stay focused in whatever you do, can't wait to see if you follow the path to become a surgeon or doctor :)
I'm a gymnast to there are a lot of ups and downs.You are one amazing person.I know you are going to be an amazing cheerleader! We are all sad that you are quitting gymnastics but SUPPER exited that your doing cheer! You are amazing keep doing
what your doing! We❤️you katie!
I'm sad that ur leaving gymnastics but I am so proud that ur going into cheerleading u will do amazing I know it!! XX😊💖💝💗💓🌹❣️🌟
You should go into dance after your cheer season! I understand! I was in dance for 6 years then I did competitive acrobactic gymnastics for 2 years and then I did cheer the next year and then volleyball and now I'm back in dance! My favorite style is contemporary/lyrical Lysm Katie 💞
I admire your thought process and mature decision about trying something new! As a former D1 gymnast, I often wish I could go back and have a real high school experience. I never went to a dance and only went to two football games. Enjoy every second, you deserve it!
Once a gymnast always a gymnast and you can always come back. Good for you for branching out. Good luck with cheer and congratulations on making varsity.
Awwww:( I will miss you doing gymnastics but I can't wait for your cheer leading 😁💕💕💕
OG fans will always keep the Coral Girls in our hearts. I’m kind of glad you quit gymnastics and moved on. I was starting to think gymnastics wasn’t really a good thing for you to keep on doing with all your injuries. I think it’s good to take a break from it. Proud of you for trying cheerleading!
Barcy B I would have to disagree injuries happen in every sport and doing school cheer will probably be worse on her joints of the do tumbling and stunts.
Hey Katie! I very much understand what you're going through❤️ I have been a dancer all my life and was spending about 25 hours a week in the studio, I love dance and it is in every aspect of my life but I also wanted to experience high school. After my sophomore year I stopped dancing at a studio and participated in all the theater things at my school which was so much fun! While sometimes I really struggled with my decision when I saw my other friends at the studio and competitions without me, I know now that I made the right decision for me. I'm now going into college and I'm back into dance! I don't regret taking a step back at all because I did get to do things that I otherwise would have never been able to do in high school! Sorry this was so long but I hope this helps you in finding some more peace with your decision! I wish you all the best with cheer❤️
Katie, you have to do what’s best for you and yes, it is def a hard choice but sometimes the right ones are always the hardest. My karate coaches daughter had the same issue...she made it to level 10 then went into high school, tried out for cheer, made it into varsity cheer and spent 4 years as a cheerleader but she also stayed in gymnastics. She didn’t compete, she just went to the gym a couple days a week to keep her skills up and to help with her tumbling for cheer. Now that she is in college, she competes in gymnastics for her university. There are many options out there so you never know. You may find your way back onto the beam :) thanks for taking us along on your gymnastics journey. It has been fun watching you grow as a gymnast and a person. Can’t wait to see what the future holds for you :) 💕💕
You were an amazing gymnast, but I can understand why you are frustrated with all your injuries. You always handled those injuries with a maturity beyond your years and a positive attitude. I would say you are following your heart but it’s clear from this video that you vetted this decision and didn’t make it lightly. You will be an amazing cheerleader, and it will allow you to fully experience high school. Looking forward to following you and supporting you on your new journey. You will be awesome....as you are....at everything you do! 💞
Brennen: *Sneezes*
Katie: “OH MY GOD IM TRYING TO FILM”
What I thought Brennen said: “I’m taking a test”
What he actually said: “I can’t stop sneezing”
Katie Carr he actually said: I can’t help sneezing.
But I still lost it🤣🤣🤣🤣
good luck katie! i know you’ll do great. it’s amazing to try new things and i hope you’ll enjoy it. lots of love ❤️
This is definitely a good mindset to have. It's super important to e well rounded and you'll also have lots of fun. Goodluck girl!
I just had to say goodbye to 11 years of gymnastics because of a bad back injury. I’m going to be a senior in high school and when I was going into freshman year I quit gymnastics because I wanted to try new things but I ended up going back to gymnastics a year later because I missed it hahaha. Good luck with everything Katie. love you❤️
Patrick Horgan thank u!
I want to see a morning/night routine and def which brother knows me better
This video was exactly what I needed. I am/was a competitive gymnast and I also did cheer, but this year I wanted to try out school volleyball and that meant that I couldn’t do gymnastics at the same time. My past few months at gymnastics, I also started to lose interest in the sport, also with many injuries along the road and I decided that it might be best for me to try other things because for the past multiple years, gymnastics was my entire life. So thank you for making this video, it really helped me. Also I hope you enjoy cheering because it is so much fun and a great experience♥️♥️
i know how you feel katie. i was a gymnast and i stopped doing gymnastics because i wanted to try something new. i went to camp for this new sport and decided that life without gymnastics was weird and i am going back to gym soon after 4 months! i’m so proud of you katie! 💞
Katie, you heart is bigger than alot of adults . You're an incredible person with a huge heart I can tell it was very hard to make this video. (Brennan certainly didn't help make it LOL) Gymnastics has helped make you into a stronger person and that will help you in life. You have had a ton of Injuries alot of people would have given up along time ago,but, not you. Best of luck in freshman year of High School you 're going to have a great time Cheerleading and spending time with your friends and making new ones which is very important in High School you have a very bright future ahead of you.
well said, my friend, well said.
Hi, I hope you're doing well have a great week ahead.
you quit? wow I love you still Katie. your incredible xoxo
she just wants to live her life and experience new things. trying new things is a good thing because you get to learn what you love and make new friends. like my freshmen year, i tried marching band and softball (i played field hockey again after quitting a few years back) and i’m so happy because i met so many people and made great connections with upperclassmen and enjoyed giving tips to the 8th graders that were in my marching band group
It's crazy how grown up you are now (not in a bad way, more in a maturity sense and also the fact that you look more like 15, not 13!) I remember watching you back in the first months of your Level 7 days. Time has seriously flown. Although I am a little sad for sentimental reasons, I understand why you're doing it. Congrats on making varsity! That's huge. Can't wait to see where this adventure takes you. From an elderly 26 year old (ha), I think you're doing the right thing by branching out and making the most out of your high school years. I was socially awkward and didn't fit in at school, so I am living vicariously through you, girl! lol
I love your hair, omg your so pretty I can't even❤
yeah do the 50 facts thing
I was a gymnast for about 3 years and changed to cheerleading (highschool and competitive) and all ready have spent 7 years doing it and its been the best desicition ever. I love cheerleading so much, and I know you will love it, the amount new things that come with it. Like friends, skills, knowledge, competition experiences, ect. I hope you love it as much as I still do after 7 years doing it!!!
Good for u. My daughter was in a similar situation but with vocal training for singing but after leaving her training sessions for a few years she has just graduated with a degree in Music Vocals this week so u never know what's in store for u but live happy as u say. I really admire u Miss K. X
*Brennan:ACHOO!*
*Katie:OMG BRENNAN IM TRYING TO FILM!*
You should do allstar after the fall cheer btw
I think she missed tryouts for most gyms but I think she should try if she doesnt go back to gymnastics
I'm excited for you to experience all these new things & to follow along on your journey! Gymnastics helped FORM who you are today, but it certainly doesn't DEFINE who you are! Can't wait to see you cheer at your 1st high school game!!!
Katie I'm so proud of you that you just remember to follow your heart and do what you desire
Yes gymnastics was and still is a big part of ur life, people also have to understand that gymnastics doesn't define u. Besides when u were with the coral girls and with the whole gymschool channel, u were all little, and people have to understand that things were bound to happen to that whole group of people. In most cases, teams of people normally end up separating and finding other passions. It's very rare that you find a dance team (just using dance as an example) with more or the same amount of people that it started out with by the time everyone is in high school. Change is a good thing, people just have to go in open minded and just have to understand that at the end of the day, it's ur decision.
Omg yes you stated it perfectly.
Awww...the gymnast is no longer...for now anyway. Not that you showed much recently but I'll miss your gymnastics...probably not as much as you though. I totally understand your decision and good on you for doing what you feel YOU need to do rather than just pleasing others. Good luck with your new cheer career and with the extra hard work of high school. From FlippinKatie to CheerinKatie...still sounds good. God bless you Katie. 😁😁😁💖💖💖 and yes Katie, 50 facts about you would definitely be worth watching. 😉😉😉
you should definitely do cheer videos! like cheer practice outfit ideas or gymnastics vs. cheer !! i’m excited for you !
It's always scary trying new things, but that's how you grow as a person. High school and college provide so many opportunities, so now's the best time in your life to experience new things and learn who you are. Best wishes for your cheerleading and whatever else comes your way!
You’re last name is spelt incorrectly at 0:12. Please like this comment so Katie can see it!! 💘
Gurl it's okay
Katie you and I did the exact same thing! I still do gymnastics but I'm in xcel. I made varsity cheer and I'm going into 9th grade too!
Super excited for you Katie! Congratulations on making varsity as a freshman! Amazing things are coming your way!
i made the exact same decision to take a break from gymnastics and try out for the cheer team my freshman year and i think it was one of my best decisions i’ve made. you can always get back into gymnastics after high school but the way you get involved in high school through cheerleading will be something that sticks with you! im so proud and know you will love cheer!
Can u please do a first period story?!
She left whatttt???? Didn’t she start at a new gym not long ago
I’m so glad you’re branching out!! It’s good to do sports at school in high school so you can have a group of friends at school on the same team as you. Cheerleading is a great sport especially for former gymnasts, but I prefer pom. Of course I was never in high level gymnastics and not super committed to it either but I’m sure you’ll do great in cheer!!
Whyyyy did this made me tear up 😭😭 maybe because I’ve been watching her for years!! 💜 love you Katie & I know you’ll be great at ANYTHING you try! I’m super excited for the many new friendships you will encounter and all the vlogs you’re gonna post!
what about college tho? like scholarships
Juliette van veen she doesn’t need to get a scholarship in gymnastics. She could get one in cheer or for her good grades
Juliette van veen , cheer also has scholarships, and she could get one for other sports or just her education... and she might come back to gymnastics 😉😉
getting a good scholar ship for gymnastics is extremely hard. Even with the level Katie’s at
Exactly. Plus college gym is so much fun!
Katie doesn't present it too much on the channel but she's really really smart and gets amazing grades. She won't have any problem getting a merit scholarship. I hope she goes to med school and turns out to be an amazing surgeon. Or she could go to NYU who just announce free tuition for all. They're the only top 10 med school to have free tuition.
I actually cried during this video😭but I’m glad katie is trying something new. It would be better for her to try something new then for her to continue on for something she’s not really feeling. I know it must be very sad, but there will always be a place in her heart for gymnastics
I didn't _quite_ cry, but I was def verklempt.
I think that it's a good move for you. Gymnastics is great, and you're right, it has made you into a super hard working, strong, motivated person, but taking care of your body is also important. I know so many people who have chronic pain from continuing in sports out of obligation when their bodies said, "enough!"
I hope you really love cheerleading!
Haha Brennan “I CANT HELP SNEEZING” that broke that sad and emotional video of Katie deciding to do high school activity. Support you you in anything you put your mind and heart to. It’s your life journey and it’s amazing to watch you grow into a young lady, beautifully gorgeous one if not that.
omg. you'll never guess who posted!
Just a note to tell you I enjoyed your gymnastics and thought you were Olympic quality. That said, follow your dreams.
Janet Gagnon yup 💕
I wanted to see her at the least in college gym so badly!
same
Janet Gagnon she never was really Olympic quality honestly, though she was a very talented gymnast. I thought she’d at least do college gymnastics
Brittany Foote shame on you.
Sideline cheer is so much fun!! You’ll love it!!
I know there are times I want to quit gymnastics especially after injury. But I’m glad your joining another fun sport and aren’t totally giving up gymnastics.💗
So much of the coral girls quit gymnastics 🤸♂️
Katie for me it’s extremely sad that your not currently in gymnastics but I’m just glad your doing what u love and whenever your happy I’m happy and I’m super happy u made varsity cheer and I love you so much😘💞
Totally support this. You will still be doing stuff you would do in gymnastics at cheer!!! It is an adjustment but you will get used to it. Gymnastics will always be a huge part of ur life and that will never change ❤️
First like and comment but CONGRATULATIONS💛 It is sad though
Maddie Krejci // I'm gonna let u in on a secret.. it REALLY DOESN'T MATTER when u shout out, "Look at me, me 1st, gosh I'm early.." ect... it just makes u look shallow & self-centered.. just make a nice remark about the people/places in the video.. that's MUCH BETTER!! ... your welcome 😉
I completely understand what you went through. I went through the same thing a couple years ago and decided to end my gymnastics career and it was a very difficult decision
I did the exact same thing. I quit gym in 8th grade after breaking my right arm. Made varsity and then lived through my high school experience. It definitely was something I needed to do but I will say there is something about gymnastics that never leaves you. Cheer was fun but you do grow out of it, the good thing is that you will always have those skills and muscle memory is amazing! Have a blast in high school and know that you always have the power to do whatever you want.
I am so proud of you. Its very hard to realize what you once loved becomes too much, I went through the same thing at your age. It will be ok! Enjoy every piece of this new journey and love every second!!! Its amazing how much a change can impact you positively. Keep reaching for the stars!!! you will accomplish great things, Katie!!!
i have a similar story. i left competitive gymnastics so i could do high school theatre. i know its a hard decision but Im happy for you that you are trying other things and going out of your comfort zone. i think that it will make you very well rounded in the future. like you im open to the idea of going back but i want to do lots of different things and being an optional gymnast takes up a lot of your time.
congrats Katie!! I’m in my second year of cheer and you are gonna love it so much. don’t be discouraged because ur tumbling skills from gymnastics will get you far in cheerleading!💗💗I love you!
I always loved watching your gymnastics videos! But, it’s always good to try new things! I am excited to see your journey in cheerleading and I wish you the best of luck! Also can you do a going undercover as a fan page video, clothing hauls, and lots of back to school videos?!💗❤️
I’ve been watching you for years now, and you’ve grown up so much! So proud of you and will always be there no matter what you choose to do.
You never know how things will turn out unless you try them so, GOOD LUCK with cheerleading x
Aww Katie! I just want to give you a hug! I am so proud of you!!! You did gymnastics for so many years, I’m so gald to see you try new things and have new expriences. Yes, life will be different, but enjoy the change of pace. Follow your dreams girl!
it’s definetly ok to try new things. I get t. I quit dance at studio to be on dance team in school. Good luck with cheer! I’m so proud of you Katie!
Congrats on opening a new chapter of ur life ! I know how it feels to stop loving the thing u have loved for a long time as last December I decided to quit cheer as I wasn’t enjoying it as much , but then I realised how much i actually loved it and i just needed a break , so i went back in april 😊🎀💛
I had to leave gymnastics as well my sophomore year of Highschool because I started dance. I totally get the difficulty of trying to balance school on top of gymnastics and cheer. I loved gymnastics and I won’t ever forget everything that it taught me, but change and trying new things can only make us stronger💜
We love you Katie and wish you the best in everything you do you’ll rock cheer!!💓💓💓
I am always gonna support you. Ik u will always be a gymnast at heart and I am so happy to be able to see what the future holds for u
aw im sad to see you leave, but i am so so happy to see what’s next for you!! i support you so so much katie!
Once a gymnasts, always a gymnast!!!!! I went through that at your age. New adventures are worth it!!!!!
I glad that ur not just quitting because u can but because u have tried and tried and got injured along the way and now u can use the skills that u have in cheer!!
Good luck with cheer Katie ! I think we’ll all miss your gym videos but I know your going to do amazing at cheer ! Sometimes change is good and I think this will help you discover yourself even more since gymnastics is all you’ve done your whole life 😉☺️ have fun in high school
how about a back to school morning routine!! would really love that! love you katie!
Congrats on making the varsity cheer team, Katie! I’m so proud of you! I’ll be a Freshmen too this year and I am also a cheerleader. I made the junior varsity team which I’m super excited for. I’m sad you quit gymnastics but I’m also super excited that you’re giving cheer a try because I have done cheer my whole life. 💕
