Leotards are the uniform for gymnastics. You wear them to every event, competition, and practice that you have. Choosing the perfect leotard for you is essential to your comfort. In order to perform at your highest standard you can't be worried about the discomfort that you experience because of your leotard. There are three types of leotards. There are the three-quarter sleeves that cover your arms but not your forearms. There are also full sleeves that cover all of your arms, they are mainly worn for competitions. Lastly, there are no sleeves that don't cover your arms, these are mainly worn in practices. There is no correct formula to pick the leotard that is perfect for you. You should pick what you feel comfortable in and that doesn't limit you from your ability to perform your best. My idea of a comfortable leo is a no sleeve leotard. It allows me to move comfortably and perform my best. The only tip I would have for you is to pick from a well-known brand that manufactures leotards from good quality materials. This will enable your leotard to last for longer and maintain the good state that you bought it in. It is sometimes better if your leotards come with hair ties. Since your hair is constantly going to be tied back you need a hair tie that will hold your hair through skills. Not only will it prevent you from constantly fixing your hair but it will look more professional to have a hair tie matching your leo. Leotards may not seem like they affect your gymnastics, they do. They affect the way you see yourself-which adds confidence and the way that the coaches see you-which makes them take you more seriously!
