THE HARDER YOU WORK, THE HARDER IT IS TO SURRENDER!
That's what I've been telling my 11 year old daughter for the past 8 years of her gymnastic life. Now it's in question I think the time has come to quit (surrender) and what about all the hard work?
I am a mother from Spain who went to school in the U.S. and is living in Monterrey Mexico, I know it sounds crazy. My daughter is a level 3 here in Mexico (If anyone can please tell me what level this is in the U.S. and why it differs?). It's very competitive here like I'm sure it is in other countries at this level, and of course like everyone knows many long hours with many injuries. She's had a numerous about of fractures/sprains and have always been aware it's a sport with many injuries but how many is too many? We've had all sorts of tests done on her to make sure it's not a bone density problem and she's come out above normal. Maybe in other gyms this is quite normal but in our gym my daughter is the one who's always injured. Her trainers of course don't want to let her go but I'm really concerned about this.
