[quote=Anonymous]I’ll answer on behalf of my lifelong friend: competitive figure skating. She missed out on a normal childhood to include early teen years. Traveled to competitions every school break. Had a compressed HS schedule that allowed her to arrive late after rink time and other days, leave early for specialized training like dance.Delayed puberty and then amenorrhea and later an eating disorder. Family sacrificed to pay for the travel and coaching and classes and so pressure to continue was intense. Huge family rift when she up and quit junior year of hs. Mom was a judge, Dad heavily involved. [/quote]
