Isn't this common knowledge already?

 

And the one's that don't make it into gymnastics end up looking for jobs like cirque du soleil

 

It's an example of one form of streaming.

Nothing new. It was going on in the Eastern bloc 50 years ago. All and everything is acceptable for the good of the party. Such is the reality of Marxist nationalism.

If we compare the discipline standard of our north american affluent kids to those of these developing country's kid, look at how fit and strong these kids are compared to many of our younger generations today.

 

The family future also relies on their kid's success, their government support the kids entire education and needs, while our Athletes at times are desperate in need for sponsors.

 

What would our younger generation of the same age be doing these days. We supplied them with too many junk foods, video games, movies, internet, too much freedom that create disruption which cut down on their fitness time and social skill.

 

Many of us from the old school grew up always involved in the outdoor, for staying home was boring then. One reason we are anglers today.

In real sports, Their is no such thing as a natural.

It all comes from hard work and dedication.

Drop by a GTA gym meet and see if some Ontario parents treat their Gym kids any different. It's like Hockey Mom's expecting their kid to be the next Bobby Orr... they expect the next Nadia !

My girlfriend owns a gymnastics club and she would never be able to get away with treating her athletes that way. She has to deal with psycho parents if she raises her voice. Its a whole different world over here comparred to china!

Some reporter intervieweds athletic kids from North America and from China during the recent Olympic event, many of China kids actually believe they can be Olympic Champion.

 

I knew Couple of excellent Tennis local coach who was disappointed and not able to motivate their student to further excel at their present abilities. Just not enough drive to believe they can be in the top 10 in the world.

 

My 12 year old son was trained by a Military styled Russian Swimming instructor. My son after few years of being trained, made it to the school swimming team, able to swim 35 laps with no problem, and can do butterfly stroke easily. While many kids complained to their parents that the Russian teacher was way too tough on them and parents end up yanking their kids out of the Russian teacher's class.

 

All parents want our kids to excel, sometimes the proper envirnoment and training will bring out the best in a person.
