<p>Yes…most people don’t realize it at all. My daughter trained from 1-7pm from 5th grade to 8th grade. She decided not to pursue the elite route any longer and dropped her hours to 24 during high school. She still trained 4 hours daily 6 times a week.
She started at age 7 training 15 hours per week. This is the norm for any competitive gym and pretty much anyone who competes at the DI level has had this sort of a schedule.</p>
