My Biography
Hi my name is Declan Parker. I first started gymnastics because I was doing a kids fitness class. When I started progressing in skills, I moved to Blaze Gymnastics because they were one of the few gyms in the area that had dedicated (just) boys classes.

I was quickly pushed up to intermediate classes and then invited to team. I was also playing hockey at the same time I started gymnastics. Once I started competing level 3, I had to make a choice between the two sports. I decided to focus on just gymnastics as my solo sport.
I started doing weekly privates soon after, and my house became a “second gym” with all the equipment I have gathered throughout the years! One of the challenges that I have faced so far in gymnastics is being a “late starter”. I made the team quickly once I started, but I have had to push myself in order to keep advancing. I do not want to fall far behind, so my hard work and perseverance will help me continue to get better and better everyday!
