Sophomore Charlotte Baldieri is going into her second year on the Jonathan Law gymnastics team. In the fall, Baldieri is a member of the Law cheerleading team, and in the spring, she  in Jonathan Law’s outdoor track team in the spring. Advocate Staff Reporter Courtney Russo interviewed Baldieri about the upcoming gymnastics season.

Courtney Russo : What are you looking forward to the most this season?

Charlotte Baldieri: I am looking forward to improving on every event. Last year I was new to gymnastics and used that as an introduction year to learn the basics. I can’t wait to revisit my skills and keep improving.

CR: What advice do you have for freshmen joining the team this year? 

CB: My advice for freshmen joining the team is to really just have fun. Meets can be so stressful but we have such a fun group of girls that will have your back no matter what.

CR: What do you hope to achieve this season?

CB: My hopes are to achieve a better routine on the floor. Last year I wasn’t familiar with what to do but I already have plans on how to improve.

CR: What are some changes you want to make this year in comparison to last year?

CB: Some changes I would make from last season is to be more fearless. Gymnastics can be terrifying when kerning new skills and getting over that fear factor can be so helpful.

CR: What are some things you enjoyed last year and would keep the same?

CB: Last year I enjoyed how close our team was. We always spend time together before every meet and always work together to make practice fun. I couldn’t ask for a better team.
