This all really depends on your daughter... I was a gymnast up until my sophomore year of high school (16+ hrs/wk), and yes, I was occasionally upset that I didnt get to go to every Friday night football game (and those that I did attend were always after practice), but i wanted to be at the gym. I honestly had no future in the sport (I'll be the first to tell you that i was nowhere near becoming the next Shannon Miller, Carly Patton, Nastia Liukin, or Shawn Johnson). But I loved doing what I did. I did quit for about 4-6 months during my freshman year, but I missed it too much and came back until I eventually quit because of injury and because I wanted a "normal teenage life". To this day I still sometimes regret quitting so early, but I still enjoy doing some handsprings and walkovers sometimes
. I did love having a normal teenage life, but gymnastics was such a big part of me for so long, I didn't (and still can't) let it go. I actually hope to keep it in my life through the team at my college. So no matter what your daughter chooses, she can still be happy and find a way to be around gymnastics ( I mean, I still go back and visit the coaches gymnasts at my old gym because we were a family). However, I do recommend that if she quits, it is easier to come back when your younger, but in her best interest (in terms of skills) to stick with it until she is sure she's ready to be done. I hope this makes enough sense and doesn't just ramble on! Best of luck in the decision!
