Obviously, I'd be able to find out a few facts online. Like the peak age for a female gymnast. The effects of age on the healing of a bone fracture. The year Mitsuo Tsukahara first tossed the vault now named after him.
Well, I've found out a few things about rhythmic gymnasts, learned that Beckham also broke his fifth metatarsal, and discovered that a female Russian gymnast first Tsuked (yes, we gymnasts use it as a verb) in 1974.
I am not sure if these facts will help my paper.

Thank you, Mike.
Well, I do have a story. I do have facts culled from years of being in the sport. And I do have the notion that I need to fine-tune my Google quests in some manner, or perhaps be a team player and ask my coach if he has any (gasp!) paper information on the above research topics.
Regardless, the quest shall be glorious.

Perhaps your professor could help if asked...?
;-)
Seriously, I find people (1) turn to google as a primary research tool. Mistake. And (2) they don't know how to effectively use it. Case in point.
Don't overlook librarians either. This is what they do.
Online research can be a pain. Especially when using google. You type in one thing and it comes up with a million other things that have nothing to do with your original topic.
I think asking your coach would probably be intersting, just to see what he says. Hey it might put something of humor in the paper if he just has no idea. I mean years of coaching and yet a lack of knowledge. Ive seen it before
I remember the first time I attempted a Tsunamaharaka, it was an incredible feat but also an amazing accomplishment and somewhat of a spiritual awakening. There is nothing I love more than to get up on that vault on an early Sunday morning, say around 3 AM, and just lie there and smell the chalk. It feels like home.
