Program Transcript - CNN Presents: Achieving the Perfect 10.
Today, youth sports is a multimillion dollar industry modeled after professional sports. Like professional athletes, kids are expected to perform under pressure, play with injuries and sacrifice family time for tournaments far from home. Perhaps nowhere is the pressure more intense than in gymnastics, where the sport can become a virtual full-time job by the age of 10. This CNN Presents Classroom Edition: Whatever it Takes: In Pursuit of the Perfect 10 looks at the intense pressure faced by young gymnasts as they pursue their dreams of competing in the Olympics.
