I don't want to derail the publicity thread with my newbie questions, but I just seriously don't know. It seems that a lot of parents are hoping that the kid will be on a college gymnastics team (perhaps with a scholarship), but are there other options? I mean, if the child chooses a school without a gymnastics team, what then? Can he/she compete by still joining a regular gym? And what's the path to the Olympics? Is it just something like the top winners of Nationals are just automatically in? Do you need the "right" coach? Who are those "right" coaches? These questions probably seem silly to those who have been around for years, but this is all new to me, and all of my knowledge comes from watching a few seasons of Make It or Break It while I was nursing my youngest. LOL.
I'd also love to hear about other things that you could do with gymnastics training. I mean, obviously cheer, but I was surprised when my mom's co-worker said that she had done gymnastics when little, which led her to diving in high school. Are there other things that would be good?
