[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yea, I don't know about this. I would look to successful female skaters and see what they have to say about moving away and training so competitively at such a young age. Mirai Nagasu, Ashley Wagner, Gracie Gold, Tessa Virtue... they've all said they thought it was worth it but probably wouldn't let their own daughters do it. They've all dealt with issues such as eating disorders, sexual abuse, anxiety, body image issues, etc. Do you want that for your daughter?[/quote] There was rampant sexual abuse of gymnasts at Michigan right in front of the parents. This isn’t a ‘going away to train’ issue. It’s an every day issue. She’s talented and wants to go - let her go. Keep communicating with her and visit regularly. [/quote]
