When it comes to training in the higher-level competitive gymnastics that Victor Joulin-Batejat has reached, the hardest part isn’t developing tremendous physical strength or committing to hours of practice. It’s building mental strength.
“It takes a lot of time to build that confidence,” said Victor, 14, a freshman at The Bishop’s School in La Jolla. “The physical training is just like any other sport.

But every time, it just comes down to taking a breath and going for it.”
