Men who do ballet can lift a person up, because it's not hard to lift a small & light girl up. Muscle strength is also not directly related to muscle size (of course there's correlation) - there's a reason why you train differently if your goal is one vs the other.
I played football (soccer) as a kid and when I went to the gym for the first time the trainer also said "Oh, judging from your calves you play/played football".
None of those things is relevant until you do it professional and earn money with it. If I were a football player at my age (30s) I would probably have torn multiple ligaments & muscles. Ibrahimović mentioned he played 6months with pain killers due to a torn ACL. Only after the season he got surgery.
Yes, professional athletes destroy their body. Just like trans people can destroy their body - as soon as they're adults.
Kid athletes don't destroy their body. They lay good foundations for general fitness.
I get tired of coaches yelling about giving 110% at every try. In engineering it means that product is designed to break and be replaced quickly. I also don't know if it actually helps with later life health. The ability to play sports needs the opportunity to play them. Kids have that, but a lot of adults don't.
Those are nuances, and annoyances, not destroying a child because mommy wanted a little girl.
