I can understand both the pain and all, but they are not victims all volunteered. Even boys can do splits as long as they start while very young and girls are no diff. Stretching tendons is and can be a holy bitch and it hurts to do it , major pain..Depending...!
They are not victims, they wanted on the team, = volunteered ! = can not stand the heat = stay out of the kitchen.
Guys in sports in many ways do the same dam thing, = no pain = no gain...
Truth
Edit: No pun intended, think you know what is required but the body training is more than you volunteered for, then quit..
Blaming the program, that others on the team that did the training and will train everyday for to keep limber ,, but rather moan , groan and complain = PUSSYS
Major reason we as a society has fallen as low as we are.
