[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Jade Carey, Chelsea Memmel, and Nastia Liukin would all say yes. [/quote]

So on that point, do they still have good relationships with their parents?  I don't know their stories.  Andre Agassi ended up hating his dad. [/quote]

Andre Agassi's dad sent him to tennis camp very young, to a punitive place, and didn't listen when Andre said he didn't want to go.

Jade is still coached by her dad, I believe - except when she's in school when she's coached by the college coaches. Chelsea came out of retirement during the pandemic, and her dad did too, to coach her. Her family is very close - she and her parents own and run a gym together.  Nastia defended her dad when people called him out for his abusive behavior towards gymnasts like Kaitlyn Ohashi and Vanessa Alter. She's done videos with him and it seems like they're close. I can't speak to how healthy their relationship might be as it's widely thought Nastia is anorexic and Val used to be known for driving his gymnasts to lose weight. [/quote]
