How early is too early to begin training your child?

In a society when athletes are highly praised and highly paid, how early is too early to begin training your child for athletic success? 

Is it cruel to force children to practice for hours on end? Or is it securing a possible future for them?

Is it unhealthy to train a child at such a young age for a specific event? Or is it smart because they may have success at an early age?

Check out this video that has become highly popularized on the internet. 

What are your thoughts on this?  There is no doubt what this 5 year old can do is amazing.  However, would you train your child for hours on end to break a world record? Or any of the other questions above.

This is such an interesting topic to me and I would love to hear your thoughts, before I give my personal take on the whole subject.

Have a fun and fit day, Chicago.
