My Biography
My name is Eden Oldeen. I am currently a level 9 gymnast at Texas Best Gymnastics in McKinney, Texas. I started gymnastics when I was nine months old and have been competing for the last five years. My proudest moment in the sport was when I reached the 38.0 all- around club as a level 8. This made all of the struggles I had went through worth it.

The biggest struggle that I have faced, was learning and mastering my giants on uneven bars. For two years, I struggled with getting them by myself. This affected my training and confidence for a bit. I ended up falling back in some areas of my gymnastics to relearn and break down the skill.
There are times that I get a bit hesitant to do my giants, but I am still much more consistent. My struggle with giants, has made me appreciate where hard work can get you.
I have become more resilient because of the challenges I have overcome. Some of my accomplishments include getting 1st on beam in level 9, and 1st on floor and bars at level 8 Regionals. I am a brand ambassador for Salute and Taylla. This means that I help promote their brand on my Instagram account! The goal is to help get the brands more exposure by posting them on my account and tagging them. It is a fun side activity that I enjoy doing. And I get to show my support for gymnastics brands.
My favorite thing about gymnastics is competing for myself. I love to see how my my hard work has payed off through my meet results. When I am not in the gym practicing or competing, I love to shop, make bracelets for my bracelet business, and swim!
