Why jump rope?
Ben also has taught at a national jump rope camp. “You have some of the best jumpers in the U.S., and we’re all working together,” he says. “It gets really tiring to teach, but as you teach, you learn more yourself.” For those guys and girls who want to start jumping, Ben recommends finding a team and starting with the basics. But…is jump rope cool? When Ben was asked to show his stuff in gym class, he overheard some kids saying that jump rope was “stupid.” According to Ben, “In middle school, people aren’t sure what’s cool and what’s not.” But Ben put on a show that proved them wrong. “They didn’t even understand what was happening with the rope it was going all different ways. Once they see what jump roping is, they can’t say that anymore.” Check out more info on jump rope!
