At meets I see crazy coaches, & I read about them here. And if you are a crazy coach, STOPPIT. You are destroying a wonderful sport for wonderful children. If they manage to only be sort of broken, you make it an extremely stressful transition to another gym-the next coach is picking up pieces, the athlete is stressed to high heavens & terrified of accidentally doing whatever set you off, the parents are edgy, and it just sucks for everyone.
So stoppit.
Think you might be a psycho gym coach? Easy test:
Go ask your athletes if they're afraid of you. If they look at you like you've lost it and ask why they'd be afraid of you, then you probably aren't. If they are afraid to answer the question, you are, and you need to cut it out.
Sincerely,
a coach heartbroken by all the damage
