Yes, no, maybe? I don't know. This is such a complicated question. The trials and tribulations that she has experienced due to this sport have made her who she is today, and she is IMHO pretty awesome. And she loves it. Like really really loves it. Over the years I have made it absolutely clear that she can quit at ANY time, that this is not required at all that she has value and worth and purpose beyond this sport and we value HER, not what she does in the gym. I confess that there have been times I REALLY wanted her to quit. Times when her tears and struggles were just too much for me and I begged (and yes even attempted to bribe) her to quit. All because to ME it wasn't worth it. Through it all though she never wavered. She loves this sport and isn't ready to let it go. She's had some really amazing experiences from this sport and some really horrible ones. There was abuse (heck at this point I would say that 99% of all high level gymnasts have experienced it- it seems to be the norm sadly) but there have also been lessons and bright spots. I wouldn't wish her journey on any kid, she has truly walked through the fire, but on the other side of that inferno she's gained maturity , insight into others, and an insane ability to give grace to those who truly don't deserve it. She is a better and kinder person than I ever will be. So yeah, I guess I just don't know. Would I make the choice to do this again? Im not sure. I do know that if I did ever get a do over I would make some different choices along the way and trust my gut a bit more. But you don't know what you don't know. And hindsight is always 20/20
