Hi Ivonne,
Thank you for sharing your story. It is amazing how much stress a child can go through being a competitor in a sporting event. I also was a competition roller skater, gymnast and basketball player growing up. I remember really becoming stressed, upset and crying all the time since I was always too busy to ‘be a kid’.
I also remember having severe stomach problems that I would see my family physician about and all I would do is cry while I was in his office. I am sought professional help at the time and no longer competed. It was overwhelming. I don’t regret stopping either, it no longer was fun.
Your story is very inspirational. Good luck and please stop back to let us know how you are doing.
