[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah, it is far worse here than in the rest of the country.  This is simply a fact.

The people trying to argue the local level of competitiveness is “normal” have likely never lived anywhere else.

As a personal example, my kids were on an area swim team where one of the youth broke one of Mark Phelp’s youth swimming records.  The kids who made the “A” meets at our club all did winter swim, practiced year-round, plus the parents put their kids in extra training camps like Machine, etc.

That level of group competitiveness is not normal.[/quote]

It is just as competitive in the DMV as in places like Orange County, California.  We moved from Orange County, California to Langley, Virginia, and DD made the varsity squad.  She said that the competition here is just as fierce as her old school in Orange County, California.  People here have just as much $$$ as people in Orange County, and because of that, kids have private lessons, thus making it extremely competitive to make varsity.[/quote]
