A young trampoline champ is bouncing back – after beating a rare psychological condition that robbed him of his athletic prowess.
Lost move syndrome (LMS) inhibits an athlete’s ability to perform a skill that was once second nature to them.
Nine-year-old Greyson Geddes had been competitively trampolining for about two years when he was suddenly struck with LMS in 2019.
But after a year of work with therapists, the Dundee High School pupil has finally been able to climb back on to a trampoline and resume competing at the highest level. Greyson’s return to the sport was a triumph as he won gold at the Scottish Trampoline Championships in Perth last month.
Mother Kristeen said: “Greyson has won a few gold medals before but this one was particularly special.”
She said doctors suspect it was a fall that triggered the onset of Greyson’s LMS. Greyson’s gold has secured him a place at the British Championships in Birmingham, the biggest stage he will have competed on so far, in July.
Greyson said: “My coaches have upped my training to four days a week now in preparation for the nationals and it feels great to be back competing.”
