Friday Focus: Reagan Campbell


This week's Friday Focus features lovely level 10 Reagan Campbell from Texas Dreams Gymnastics. Campbell is a stellar all-around gymnast and performs with grace and ease. After training elite for a few years, Campbell returned to level 10 with great success. She competed at the past three JO National Championships, placing in the top six all-around every year. This past season, she placed sixth all-around, second on beam, and eighth on bars. Campbell has committed to LSU and plans to join the team in the fall of 2017.

 
If you weren’t doing gymnastics, what would you be doing?
I would probably do Track and Field, because I enjoy running!
 
Have you ever done anything embarrassing in practice?
I do at least one embarrassing thing in practice a day & now its to the point where it’s not even embarrassing anymore. lol
 
If you had a day off from practice, how would you spend your free time?
Usually at my brothers baseball games, but Iwould much rather be on a beach somewhere!
 
What is your most bizarre pet peeve?
When there are 10 bathroom stalls open and you go in one, then someone comes in after you and goes in the stall right beside you!!! Like come on, there are 9 other stalls you could’ve gone in!
 
Describe your pre-competition routine?
There's really not much to it, I say a prayer then eat a red starburst before I get into the venue (and the starburst has to be red)!
 
In ten years, where do you see yourself and what will you be doing?
Well in ten years I will be 26, almost 27, hopefully with a really good job where i can travel a lot.
 
If you made a life bucket list, what would be your number one activity to accomplish?
To go skydiving!
 
What is the most difficult thing you’ve had to overcome in gymnastics?
Injuries, its just a part of any sport that you have to learn to deal with and overcome. I think everyone in gymnastics can relate to that!
 
What’s the #1 most played song on your iPod?
I listen to a variety of music, but right now my favorite genre is alternative. My favorite bands right now are Blink 182, Fall Out Boy, and The 1975!
 
If you could learn to do anything, what would it be?
To play the guitar and learn Sign Language.

Going into a coma.
 
Besides gymnastics, what is your favorite sport to watch/play?
I love to watch baseball and college football.
 
If you could only eat one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Probably yellow summer squash. I eat that by itself all the time!
 
What three items would you take with you on a deserted island?
My phone, a swimsuit, and a boat so then I could just escape from the deserted island and get a nice tan while I’m at it.
 
Whats the most unusual thing you’ve ever eaten?
Frog legs… They are actually very good!
 
Do you collect anything?
My family and I save every fortune from the fortune cookies, and put them in a jar.
 
Are you an introvert or extrovert?
It would depend on who I’m with, but mostly introvert!
 
If you could join any past or current music group, which would you want to join?
This is an extremely hard question for me to answer! I swear I was born to be a groupie! I try to go to every concert that comes to town, no matter what music group it may be! I just can’t choose one!!!
 
What super hero would you trade lives with and why?
Well Batman is my favorite, so I guess him! And I mean have you seen his car?!?!
