[quote=Anonymous]Hmm my DD did ten years of gymnastics and yes they do become super efficient at HW but life itself just passes them by. I always let my DD make the decision but I also begged for her to consider the alternatives. Two weeks after quitting she said she wished she had done it sooner. Suddenly there was so much else to explore and engage in; she felt she had missed out on a lot. Wishes now she had done ten years of programming. I will say there were benefits from the sports. She is mentally tougher than almost everyone. She's very humble and only competitive with herself. But there was no reason for the sport. It doesn't help for college unless the kid is semi pro material. It definitely adds a great deal of stress and takes time away from what could be a great life. Balance is life is a much better goal than tiring to do it all.[/quote]
