I have been reading a lot of aspiring young gymnast/parents posts about elite intentions. These posts made me wonder about longevity. I also know this will be a very unscientific question, just looking for your opinions from your experience.
Coaches/Parents: What percent of your level 4 team is still competing as a senior in high school? ie: What percent do you think actually continue with the sport until graduation?
At my dd's gym, I would say about 10% and the ones that stuck with it were not necessarily the ones that I would have thought, not the most talented or successful. It has been the ones that truly love the sport and work hard.
Looking forward to your replies!
