Taylor Friedrich

I have been a gymnast since I was 2 years old. I have always set high standards for myself and I have wanted to be as successful as possible in everything I do. I love to socialize and I am very friendly and outgoing. I hate when people feel uncomfortable and awkward so it is always a goal of mine to make sure that others feel safe and accepted in any environment.

I have been snowboarding since my sophomore year of high school and it has allowed me to have an outlet to everything in my life. When I go down the mountain I clear my head and the only thing I think about is the snow glazing past my board. I go on trips to Vermont every year and I make an effort to get out to the mountain about twice a week during season. I will always love snowboarding.

I have been on the gymnastics team at my school all 4 years. Each year I have been awarded MVA (Most Valuable Athlete) and my Jr. and Sr. year I have been team captain. My job is to excite the rest of the team and help everyone become their best versions of themselves. I love my sport and I have grown to enjoy so much more since my frehsman year as well.

Gymnastics has been a huge part of my life. I have been on a club team my whole life and I have made it to level 9. I trained about 20 hrs a week for about 10 years of my life. Gymnastics has shaped me as a person and it has created most of the habits in my life. It has given me confidence, discipline, perseverance, mental and physical strength, and it has over taught me how to be an organized and balanced person.
