Absolutely my experience is specific to our family; both children chose the same sport and both did well. We live only 4 minutes from our gym. We found schools that accommodated the gym schedule. We are at a gym that does a great job helping with college recruiting. Obviously every family will make decisions based on their own experiences. It's just that I'm reading all these "no, we wouldn't have done it." But for some, gymnastics is a positive journey. I wanted to express that.I think maybe your experience is different because you had 2 kids who are both equally involved in the same sport (presumably at the same gym) so you get to spend a lot of time together. For most people, this is just not the case. For us, we lead basically separate lives everyday except for weekends and 1 night during the week when everyone is home together after 7. We are definitely sacrificing family time for gymnastics
