Okay /adv. I really want to get an answer to this, as its becoming quite annoying. My gf is not very active. She doesnt exercise and she has given up everything called sports. She is still fit tho. She eats very well and all that but that is not the problem
We go to the same high school and her gymnastics grade is not doing well at all. This is really tearing on her self esteem. I've tried to talk her into trying to improve, but she's allready given up. Is there anything that i can do to at least motivate her to try?
The grades in gymnastics at our school are almost completly based on effort, but shes still just determined to give up every time.

Have her find another activity she would enjoy. Try to do it with her for motivation.

I got her into running. She does that on and off sometimes, and we really enjoy it. Its the sports-part that she doesnt like. Throwing and catching a ball for example. Playing basket is her worst nightmare. How can she actually turn her head around and focus on improving rather than giving up?

Sometimes sports with balls isn't for everyone no matter if they try to improve. This probably isn't her thing. You can't motivate her to improve or try harder when she's already decided in her mind that she won't. She probably feels a lot of pressure and shame and the last thing she needs is her bf telling her to try harder. Just be there for her and let her know you believe in her. The decision to improve needs to come from her.

I hate ball and team sports, mainly because it's like 90% of what gymnastics is about in school.
Try to get her into individual, "ball-less" sports. Since she likes running, maybe swimming or martial arts might get her attention. Don't know if it would help in her grades but that's a start

Does she like music? She could try some zumba class.
