[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This (below) is a pretty good piece about the pros and cons of young girls getting into competitive gymnastics. The pros are listed at the top. Later in the article, the author talks about the extreme punishment the sport does to the mind, body and soul. Another issue that has not been mentioned is poor social development. Ballet dancers are the same way. The training is so hard, rigorous and at such a young age, that many of the dancers and gymnasts regress and become isolated socially. http://krsharp05.hubpages.com/hub/Kids-and-Competitive-Gymnastics[/quote] Okay, even if we give you the injury thing...unsocialized? Really? You must know very, very few dancers. Just sayin'[/quote]
