[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 16 year old was a nationally ranked gymnast with 32 hours of practice a week and great college prospects. An annoying ankle soreness revealed a dramatic bone injury that required surgery and 6 months of rehab, during which the PT discovered a career ending hip cartilage injury we didn’t even know about. Definitely don’t let your kid put all of their eggs in one basket. Life can change on a whim, and that is especially true for athletes. [/quote] I’m sorry about your child’s injury, but the lessons she learned about determination and persistence through adversity, discipline, and hard work will remain with her and enhance her life in the future. She will always have what she learned from gymnastics and she will be a better person for it. Colleges will see the kind of commitment she had to her sport and that will give her a big plus as a person with the characteristics they want to see in their students. [/quote]
