[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 6-year-old is a level 3 gymnast getting ready to compete in the fall. She did a year of pre-team at 5. Is she good? Absolutely. Will she ever go to Olympics or even do gymnastics at college? Almost positively not. Why do it? She loves it. Gymnastics teaches hard work, discipline, how to perform under pressure, how to fall with all eyes on you and then get up and keep going, how to balance work and fun - these are all such valuable skills that any adult would benefit from. I’d say give it a try. You can always quit if it becomes too much or if your kid’s heart is not in it.[/quote] I'm so thankful that my parents had the same attitude as you. I still love and do gymnastics in my mid-40's, and even though I enjoyed competing and was relatively successful at a low level, I was also never going to compete in the Olympics or college. That doesn't have to be the end game for a sport, ever.[/quote]
