Seriously? You regret that she's good enough to play D1 because she's 5'2 at age 17? You are aware that the average height for a female in North America is about 5'4?   See 4 other replies

I think it's the type of work out. by intense they mean high impact, which stunts your growth. What stops puberty is just working out a lot. I'm a 15 year old girl and I train intensely as a horseback rider and I dont get normal periods. I use to but I don't since I started training intensely, but since horse back riding (and basketball and volleyball) aren't as high impact on your bones, it doesnt stunt your growth. :)   See 4 other replies

My dd's a soccer player that is good enough to play Division I in college (teams have invited her), and she even played for the Mexican Under-17 Women's National Team for a short while.
She trains year-round and, at age 17, is only 5' 2".
She's slightly taller than her mom, and I'm only 5' 6 3/4".
Do you think I supported her, in what she wanted to do -- including with private training and small group soccer training -- and helped her stunt her growth?
For a while there, she was playing on a club (travel) softball team, swimming for a recreational swim team, running and jumping for a recreational track team, and playing club soccer -- all at the same time.
In Mexico, she was training twice-a-day, every day, in the U17 WNT Training Camps.
I don't think I would have supported all this if I thought she might have ended up taller.   See 4 other replies

Its just with gymnastics. They train so much that it stunts their growth. And basketball players and volleyball players dont train 24/7 and all year round. And gymnasts are ALWAYS training. :)   See 4 other replies

uhm. they weren't about to do "the nasty". they were hugging. it wasn't the last episode of season one. like ep. 19 or something. lauren explained that carter and her were just friends to kaylie (even if lauren and carter are actually together now). jesus christ you're dumb.   See 2 other replies
