Former L10 gym mom
Proud Parent
Please don't jump on me I admit that I am definitely wishing my daughter would do college gymnastics I can't imagine her not doing it She is a level 10 senior I do make it clear to her that the decision is ultimately hers and I will be absolutely ok with whatever it is.
She was on the top of the world until high school All of the awards and accolades Bright future ahead Then once high school started she has been plagued with injuries Not chronic injuries that college coaches are scared of, just acute ones like a Tommy John's injury.
She has persevered like a model gymnast and leader She has worked as hard as possible whether rehabilitation or gymnastics skills In fact she's been team captain every year despite not competing much at all She hasn't competed a whole season since 8th grade. But she kept going and achieved L10
Obviously we have shifted our goals D3 is our aim She is just not sure about doing it anymore. And I can't blame her on the one hand
Here's why I so want her to do D3 (despite my obviously selfish reasons) She worked to hard her whole life to end at the bottom. She deserves the highs the cheers the many things that come with being a normal healthy competing gymnast.
I'm taking her to tour the schools anyway She said she can't decide until after this season which would be too late to do the trip.
So, just looking for suggestions input, just please don't bash me I already recognize my selfish reasons and hide them from her.
Thanks so much
