<p>Dear arwarw I thank you very much for both comments; well - to answer to your question, she changed weapons due to opportunity - the two top saber coaches we have in Romania have seen her fighting and offered her a place in their saber junior team, subject to weapon change, of course. Now - out of her colleagues, no one dares to think that he/she could go and study in US (it is a matter of financing first of all), so I really can’t share our plans with anyone there.
Please correct me if I am wrong, but this is what I understood, we (parents + child) have to do to:
- to prepare a “CV” of the child with both sport and school results as well as an introductory letter
- to prioritize the universities we are targeting and find out whom they have as fencing coaches
- to initiate a correspondence with the coaches with the aim to raise their potential interest in this child
- and finally, to keep our fingers crossed for her.
Once again - thank you! </p>
