[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] There are so many unknowns. A kid that is passionate now about swim might burn out or discover other things. I have seen kids just get tired of it. They start wanting more sleep. Parents can push way too hard on coaches because they know meat for their swimmer. News flash: the parent does not and contributes to the kid quitting because they pushed too hard too early. [/quote] By the same token, coaches can push kids too far too soon in an effort to make them “fit the mold” before they’ve fully developed. I’ve seen world class swimmers tank their careers because of the pressure their coaches and programs put on them to attain the “swimmer body”. Such a shame. Young kids are growing, no one should worry about whether their children fit the mold. They should encourage sleep, adequate nutrition to build muscle, and rest. Period. [/quote]
