    Parents Another thought :Western competition level 9

    I see so many level 9 gymnasts try very hard to get on western , then the next year they get to a point where they just burnt out and quit maybe because of too much injuries or other reasons just don’t have fun anymore.

    Women Go for Platinum or Quit?

    Quitting gymnasts sometimes is not a bad choice when your body can’t handle it all. Life has so many options and opportunities , not all just about gymnastics. Maybe you can fall in love with other sports or other activities and become excel at them, because you are still young .

    Parents Too many hours (gymnastics) / switch sports

    How to identify if your dd gymnasts might get overtrained? It is hard to know how many hours is the right hours for your kids. I don’t think it is based on level? . It should be based on the age ? Or something else?
