Kendall Kackman '23 Recruiting Profile

When I was in a club at American Gold Gymnastics for almost 9 years, I learned of the hardships of gymnastics and learned how mentally strong you have to be in order to succeed in gymnastics. I struggled with so many mental blocks, but when I switched over to the high school division my Junior year, I found my love for the sport and climbed over that mountain of sturggles. I  want to keep doing gymnastics, and I want people to look up to me and see that you have to get through all the harsh obstacles in order to see the light. I mainly coach myself and have successfully taught myself how to do a Pak salto within two weeks. As of April 2022, I am working on vault as well, currently working over my mental block due to an injury earlier in the season. I am willing to work with coaches and decide what's best and I'm open to learning new things that will help me succeed in my gymnastics career. My Instagram has some videos of my bar work, as that is what I'm working towards the most.
