[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, it doesn't stunt growth. Like other sports, [b]there are body types that are better for the sport and better allow a quick rise to the highest levels.[/b] It also doesn't cause infertility. I'm a former college gymnast, extremely fertile - 3 kids, all conceived on first or second try. It's a good sport to develop strength, coordination, focus. She doesn't need to do it at a high level to get these benefits.[/quote] And if your daughter doesn't have this body type naturally, and wants to be good, she will try her hardest to develop that body type. That is how the eating disorders start[/quote]
