If you could, would you train for the Olympics?

Think about how much they have to give up and what they lose on. Think about the 1984 gold medal winner of the 4m dive and what they are doing right now.

When I was growing up in Houston, my famliy used to let gymnasts live at our house while they trained for the Olympics. Those girls put so much pressure on themselves not to mention what the coaches did....complete jerks.


I used to want to be an Olympic swimmer...lol

That man was a complete ass! He would always yell at the gymnasts and expect them to train injured. He sounded like a vampire when he called our house.


I remember my Mother fighting with him......lol


My parents used to drive Mary Lou to her meets. There was actually a gymnast better than her but she got injured right before the Olympics. I've met Bart Conner, Mitch Gaylord.....and the swimmer....Steve Lindquist

I could probably dig some up but they would be photographs? I don't have a scanner. This was back in the 1980's so it's not exactly on my computer.
