    Parents Level 8 quit gymnastics

    I see so many gymnasts quit the gym at the level 8 . What reasons for quitting? I am very curious level 8 already high level, why they quit gymnastics. It is because of high school , too much work? It is not worth it investing too much time and money for the sport?

    Parents I'm at a loss - quit or push harder?

    DD is a 9yo Level 6 and while talented has always been inconsistent. Amazing potential, not great focus and mixed results.
