The New York Times

They also, like most serious runners, get hurt with distressing frequency, often missing practice due to aching muscles or over-stressed bones.

National Post
Share
To an outside observer, the lengths some parents of young athletes go to ensure their budding star has every advantage can seem amazing. Otherwise rational people will spare no expense, drive all over and spend countless hours in cold rinks and early mornings on pool decks, crammed into tiny viewing galleries, content in the knowledge they are doing everything they can to help their child succeed.
