Is there a strong correlation between academic giftedness and talent or success in the sport? Or are there gifted traits that might actually hinder or become an obstacle when coaching a young talented gymnast? Does anyone have any experience or know someone who has had both a "gifted" and "talented" gymnast?
I would imagine that keeping them challenged and motivated would be a challenge. Also I would say they could get bored rather quickly with all the repetition that is required in this sport and tend not to worry too much on perfecting the skill but on moving on to more challenging skills.
Any ideas?suggestions?stories? I'd like to hear anything pertaining to this.
