Answer
Hi Marlon-
That's a real tough question.  The first thing you should do is speak with your parents and find out what they think.  You and your parents should probably arrange a meeting with Coach Gormley and discuss what his objectives are.  Being that you are only 8 years old, you have a few years before you really need to get overly serious about training, you don't want to get burned out(bored with the sport).  As you probably know training for a National or Olympic squad takes a lot of time and effort.  Keep working hard and good luck with whatever you decide.
