[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t mean to hijack, but as a parent of an high level 12 U swimmer (think PVS Champs A finalist in multiple events), what do you all think has caused your kids to get to the point where they want to give up the sport? My swimmer right now wants to swim D1, and is on that trajectory, but I’m curious to know from others in that situation what changed their kids’ mindset?[/quote] Expectations and stress. The kids I've known who stepped back were very good at 12&u and thought of themselves as Better swimmers. When they hit a plateau or other swimmers passed them or they just weren't quite as good at 14 as 12, they were embarrassed and frustrated and decided to just opt out. Two quit altogether, one took a break and came back, one kept training but quit competing.[/quote]
