[quote=Anonymous]This has been a *constant* discussion in our house for really years, but seriously for the last few months. My daughter is a skater and has a partner. They are very talented, too talented for the training they get at their home rink. They have been poached by coaches that are extremely well-known and respected in the discipline - it is all a skater could ever want to be coached by them, really. To train with them, the kids would have to move to a different state and live with host families in the area. I just don't know what to think about this and sometimes wonder if I'm a horrible parent by even entertaining the idea or by saying no right away. They have talent, a lot of it. But, I don't know how much that's worth sometimes. They would have each other, although that opens a whole other can of worms (although we love him, trust, him, and are friends with his family, he is still a 16 year old boy). I know no one knows the exact situations we are in but I guess I am wondering, what would you do? I need different points of view to be able to start seeing this clearly.  [/quote]
