H - I'm sure this happens all the time, but do you think it's appropriate to treat girls differently with similar issues, some benefitting from coddling, spotting and the like, making first at States, while others, like my daughter, are punished so severely that we're considering leaving the gym?
I am really heartbroken over how she's being mistreated and mishandled - the coaches don't understand or know my daughter after over three years, and she's so talented and sweet and such a good sport. I am hurting for her right now, but she refuses to leave the gym because of her friendships. The coaches scratched her at States on floor, where she has consistently scored first and top three all season. Her recent back tumbling fear resulted from falling on her neck because her knee hurt. My feeling is the coaches are not handling her right - to go from best to scratching an event doesn't look like they're doing right by her. And yet, others on her team, with long-standing and far more severe fears, are compensated, worked around, coddled and spotted. These girls compete, and win because instead of facing their fears, they are given different skills.
Please tell me I am wrong about this so I can feel better about what they did to my very young 10 year old girl (Level 7).
Thanks!
