These girls are not normal everyday kids (Didn't you hear? UConn is not taking 'regular' kids.) They are uber-competitive elite athletes who have led unbalanced lives (by choice) since 8th grade or earlier. Just in their everyday training they push way beyond pain ("Pain is where the fun starts!"). They have a different mentality than most. They can take it. And later on in life they always agree that they needed it. [/QUOTE]
