[quote=Anonymous]Isolated data point. I sort of knew an area family with an elite level skater (ice dance). Every year we got an Christmas card detailing the son’s successes and trials/tribulations in the ice dance world. Eventually he moved away to train too. Several of his partners quit due to eating disorders, being burnt out, etc. Eventually he himself snapped, had a breakdown, and disappeared to Canada for months (pretty sure he was still a teenager at this point). Not sure what he’s doing now. Turns out his mom was sending this Christmas letter to all of her work colleagues and former clients too! I was really disturbed by her over sharing but part of me wonders if it wasn’t partly a PSA warning other parents not to let their kids go down this path.[/quote]
