[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I see it a lot with the parents of the 10U. Then their kid is 11 and freaks out when they aren't winning everything, or 13 and they aren't going to be tall. the parents place so much being proud on their kid, so how will the kid feel if they don't have all the cuts in the difficult tween/teen years. 99% of swimmers will hit plateaus and some won't be that great (but still really good) after puberty hits. I wish parents would think about it before they post reels and brag on their kids cuts incessantly. It makes it hard on their kids later on.[/quote] Yes this is so true. I’m pp with a 10u who has had a lot of success so far but it’s not likely to be the same when he’s 12u and 14u. We told him that he swims to be fit, learn good habits, and set goals, and winning as a 10u doesn’t mean much about the future. I also have a 14u who never made Jo cuts until he turned 14 and is now doing really well. It all fluctuates. [/quote]
