[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Figure skating at a high level is not a lifetime sport, the adult championships notwithstanding. It’s a toxic, perfectionist culture with abusive coaching practices that are not acknowledged or addressed. My daughter’s coach still weighed his skater and told my daughter to find ways to punish herself every time she missed a jump. Please, tell me another sport where two major female competitors (Gracie Gold, Amber Glenn) spent time in inpatient mental health treatment during their competitive years. Choose hockey or basically anything else.[/quote] Playing hockey at a high level is also not a lifetime sport. Plenty of adults figure skate and plebry of adults play beer league hockey but we know neither counts as playing at a “high” level. [/quote]
