When junior Rebecca Meyer transferred to Missouri in August 2015, she wanted to offer something she thinks stops some college students from competing as gymnasts: a second chance.
"A lot of people that stop gymnastics don't always have a choice in it,” Meyer said. “Many athletes’ careers get cut short due to injury, financial reasons or because they are not prepared for the commitment of a collegiate sport.”
Less than two months after coming to Missouri, Meyer founded the club gymnastics team, an opportunity she thinks will help former gymnasts and newcomers find the motivation to compete in the sport.
