Hi everyone,
My daughter is 10 years old and training level 6. I never really wanted to do the whole gymnastics scene since I had friends with daughters in the sport and I saw all the stress, money, time and injuries that they were dealing with. My daughter begged me to join a few years ago so here we are, and it is as bad as I thought it would be! :tired: Yes, I am proud of my daughter, but I hate how the sport can consume so much of our lives. The whole family has had to give up so much for her dream. Yes, it is worth it when I see how much self esteem she gets from doing the sport but it comes with a price. I was looking for a place to post some of my concerns. Perhaps I can find some comfort here.
