My DD is only young at the moment but as her hours at the gym increase we have extended family worried that she will put too much stress on her body and end up with major injuries. I'm wondering if it's pretty much a guarantee that gymnasts', particularly one's at upper levels/elite, will have some sort of major injury, possibly requiring surgery. Reading on here, it seems like a lot of kids do end up with injuries and surgery, but I'm not sure if that's an accurate repesentation or more that people are more likely to post about it if their child does get injured.
I've had to stop talking to them about her gymnastics as they are so negative about it and it's really getting me down, especially when I am so proud of how hard she is working to achieve her goals.
