Given her age (already a teenager) and skill level, CP will almost certainly remain in a lower level for the duration of her career. A worlds team and a worlds gym is not in her future. #1 We can't afford it and #2, neither our family nor cp would be willing to make the financial and time sacrifices necessary for a worlds team.
We like the local comps and are happy only traveling a few times a season out of state. CP enjoys and takes pride in winning but its not the only thing that matters to her. She likes the exercise, teamwork and "showmanship" of it all.
As a parent my goal is to have cp in a gym where I feel that she is safe, treated fairly, and getting appropriate training. As long as I know that the athletes are set up for success, what they do on the floor is on them.
Who else is in the same position? Or is being/staying on a worlds team very important and the ultimate goal for most people on the board?
