do i miss gymnastics? Q&A | Whitney Bjerken

[@don-dspid2404]

It is really noticeable how relaxed you are these days. Its good to see.

[@luxithegoose4682]

Whitney is the best with or without gymnastics.

[@anovemberstar]

Hun. Please don't call it "quitting" - one thing you're not, nor have even been, is a "quitter" ❤️

[@Toffee146]

It's HON. A 'hun' is something entirely different! 😮

[@TeganAtkinson]

@@Toffee146I’ve never heard it be hon, it’s always hun??

[@no_kangaroos_in_Austria]

That's so funny - true, a 'hun' can be somewhat frightening. 😅 But about the 'quitting': I think Whitney chose that expression on purpose and to differentiate it from 'retiring'. She is no 'quitter' of course. But she decided to quit because she didn't love doing it anymore, and because her many injuries and her height made gymnastics increasingly difficult for her. To the point that she decided to quit.

[@laurosilvestrejr.106]

More like retiring.

[@Toffee146]

​@@TeganAtkinsonno it's not! I can assure you!

[@kpwmini]

Whitney I am a 61 year old woman and I LOVE Psycho. So relevant with the times. You need to try out for the Voice with that song. Everybody could use a helping hand from a star to get them out there. You are amazing

[@maryc7665]

I just turned 40 this year and love your song “Older”. It’s so relatable and your song writing reminds me of Taylor Swift in some ways. Keep following your dreams and always stay true to yourself!

[@WhitneyBjerken]

wow thank you so much! 🤍

[@kajirons7751]

@@WhitneyBjerken you are amazing

[@RockStarOscarStern634]

@@WhitneyBjerken I honestly wish you could take up Gymnastics again one day

[@kajlennartsson4234]

You are a amazing singer/songwriter Whitney. I wish you all the best in the future

[@idrils]

I practice aerial circus (like aerial silk, trapeze etc) and i feel like you might love it if at some point you want to practice an artistically expressive sport as a hobby. With your bg in gym you’d have all the fundamental strength to just get right into the creative aspect of it, and it s less about competition than gymnastics

[@alexandrarose982]

one of my girls i coach she just started a month ago she has a natural talent and she asks me a lot if she’s too tall for this i tell her abt chae campbell who’s 5’7 i didn’t know you were 5’10! i’m gonna tell this girl to look you up if she’s ever thinking she’s too tall for the sport

[@alexandrarose982]

i’ve been following Whitney for like eight years why is this the first time I’m hearing she has family in Minnesota. my hommmeeee

Hi Alexandra Rose! How are you? Reply back if you want to be one of my friends.

[@dgrock2484]

Your voice is so good and your an amazing person, I like that you are very honest about your feelings , you probably missed alot as a child and now you can be free to explore whatever you want , congrats Whit 💖

[@leanoelle5777]

Please show us more of your dancing! You are naturally talented at it and have so much artistry 💚

[@annduffy1356]

This is random but your hair color is stunning on you and your makeup is tasteful. You’re a great role model! When my son stopped gymnastics my heart was broken but he was so happy! He had so much time to pursue new passions!

[@no_kangaroos_in_Austria]

You are so wise and mature for a girl of your age! This first struck me when you posted your New Year's resolutions some time during the pandemic (though I can't find that video now). And I always saw you have a dancing gift. There is that 'Alabama Gymnastics Camp' video from 4 years ago. I remember thinking that I wished I could dance like that. And then your floor choreos, and the living room shows when you were little. Definitely a talent! 😊 Also, you express yourself so well and so clearly, even a non-native speaker of English can always follow. Thank you for everything! And good luck for all to come! ❤

[@lylahjohnson631]

I have done gymnastics my hole life but only this year (well last year technically) is the year I got into team watching your gymnastics videos made me push myself to do my best I could and now I’m competing I have my first comp this Saturday thank you for being my role model ❤❤

[@MAliincontinencelife]

I can sleep wild watching your videos not because they’re boring but because it so relaxing

[@beau_croom]

3:07 don’t apologize, embrace 🫂💖😻

[@kristinen7611]

Recommend you get into dance. It will help you emotionally, plus physically. I also hope you rethink college. Not only do you learn, but you meet so many kinds of people and life long friends. Plus, when you are older, and have a degree, you will have the confidence to know that you can support yourself. This is sooo important. Some women stay in terrible marriages because they don't have a way to support them or the kids. Furthermore, the decisions you make will also affect your retirement. If you have a solid job, with a good company, you have things like 401Ks, FSA, HRAs, etc. Living on social security can only give you 1/5th of the amount to live on. So, think long and hard, and start investing NOW...even $50 a month adds up with compounding interest and reinvesting. I grew up where my mother struggled so much to put a roof over our heads - dead beat dad kind of thing. She finally kicked him out. I learned from this - you have to remember what is at stake when you make your decisions. I think you are so talented and capable, and I applaud you for listening to your needs. ...just watch that you make the best choices.

[@misss3480]

Lovely to hear from you Whitney. Glad to hear that you're writing more songs. Dance classes sound fun, too. Perhaps you could share some of that with us? I'd love to hear how Cilla and Laney are getting on. Also some fun videos with Blakeley.

[@Beavers-editz0204]

Ok ik that I sound cringe but I have never been so early 😭 seriously tho this was posted a minute ago. I haven’t even started watching but I am excited to! Your awesome Whitney I love your music!

[@glitch_fiendespanol9364]

I have always watched your videos and I love your gymnastics and you were really good. But I get it abt quitting gym but what ever make you happy and seeing u happy will make me happy😊

[@kilandrayeuxdoux2804]

Had a thought, you might want to learn music recording systems for a music studio situtation and work with USA Gymnastics for floor exercise music. Just a thought. Also, your mind is now free to explore the universe - take time to learn about things though. My Mom used to say "Creativity comes forth from the learning explorations of the mind in opportunities around you."

[@kevinfox5481]

The only reason why i root for Alabama everything is because Whitney Bjerken goes to college at Alabama. I also root on the Atlanta Braves because Whitney is a Braves fan. Whitney is one of my best friends. Thanks Whitney for being a great friend.

[@VikaVika]

Whitney thank you so much for this Q&A video! I really liked it! It feels like I was talking to you personally, like we're friends😊I'm so happy to know a little more about you❤ I love all of your songs, even the earliest ones😄 Hope that one day I will visit your concert🤩

[@amazingaladdin5294]

It’s so interesting. I quit gymnastics 7 years ago (age 16, now I’m 23) And I still haven’t really found myself. Training dogs is definitely where I spend most of my time but I still don’t think I’ve found myself.

Consider going to college while you’re young. Maybe give yourself some time to relax from gym…but don’t close that door. Even for music education or business management . You will be grateful down the road to have the degree to fall back on.

She spent her first semester doing gymnastics at clemson but she decided to retire! Her statement is on her instagram page laneyyfisher

[@robertk.9591]

You had no real choice. Your elbow injury set you back a full two years in gymnastic development. Any hope of a world-class ability was ruined, and you are too driven to accept anything less. God, I love watching your younger videos where your skill was obviously evident to anyone. You absolutely LOVED showing off and I loved watching you! I'm very happy that you've found music to replace that, and I believe you can achieve greatness there too!
