[quote=Anonymous][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]

That sucks, sorry. Does she miss her sport or is she happy to be away from those extreme demands?[/quote]

She misses it a lot, but is also really enjoying exploring new things. Its been scary and exciting at the same time to switch gears after competing since age 6. However, I think it has really been a blessing in disguise as far as college and her future is concerned. She’s getting a chance to genuinely find the college that she wants instead of just picking from the ones who want her for her sport. [/quote]
