We could be commenting based on the perspective of a teenager who quitted the sport partly because of the mom.
But 10 years from now, who knows? What might be a bad experience could also be something an adult, looking back, can draw strength from.
I certainly had some bad experiences in my teens that I draw strength from.
Sometimes I thought I hated something but I really didn't. I just hated the environment that created the bad feelings; and it took years for me to realize it and fall in love "again" (not that I ever felt out of love). AP could love skating again if it's just the pushing she hated.
Just my 2c.
