I always wonder: How does a parent talk to their 10 year old about things like cheating, hypercompetitive, badly behaving adults, where things are completely unfair and even abusive?
- mmcdermott 4y agoMy guess would be that the majority don't and that the majority of parents and 10 year olds competing at this level are basket cases. A lot of high performing areas are like that: a well-adjusted person would never do what it takes to be the top in the field.

- treeman79 4y agoBeen to a number of after season gathers and announcements. They make a point to call out the ones graduating high school. Every one I’ve seen had been really well adjusted. All going to great schools. Many with scholarships. Figure skating has kept them out of trouble, focused and with many great life lessons. Lots of good quality friends that are driven to succeed. As a dad, can’t really ask for more.
