[quote=Anonymous]Speaking from figure skating experience here, if your skaters really do get more distracted when he is around, it is possible even the coach may suggest that parents not be around to watch the competition. If there is a livestream, he will be able to watch it that way anyway. And just to comment on the statement that there is an "up and out" point, I think that is generalizing. Getting to the top levels of competition and making the national development team etc. depends on consistency and hard work. Everyone has a natural plateau, but you can always improve and can just adjust skating goals. For example, score a personal best at the next competition or finally land a double axel instead of "go to junior worlds." You can still compete no matter what, it just may not be all that appealing since it is a difficult sport and requires priority over most other things in order to be "successful" in the competitive skating world sense.[/quote]
