Proud Parent
I believe it takes a trio parent/coach/gymnast. The parent needs believe in the gymnast and the coach and be willing to make sacrifices. The coach needs to know what they are doing, want to do what they are doing and have a successful relationship with the gymnast and parent. The gymnast needs to want it - want it as much as they want to breath. It's a very fine balance one which often seems almost impossible to maintain.
