kid in my school class." Gluckstein further explains, "Against my will my mother brought me to gymnastics. I was hesitant to go into to the gym because of the 'girly' reputation gymnastics sometimes gets, but once I was in there it was a blast! I was jumping on trampolines, swinging on bars, and flipping into foam pits. I was quickly approached by a woman, Tatiana Kovaleva, who was a 1996-1999 (trampoline gymnastics) World Champion from Russia that just recently moved to the United States. She asked my parents if I would be interested in joining the Trampoline team. Despite our lack of knowledge in the sport, they knew I would be great in it." Competition Gluckstein captured the first US Champion title of his career at the Visa Championships in August 2009, prevailing over the defending US Champion Chris Estrada with 108.8 points.
