Parent/Coach
After a serious fall on the beam that left my dd injured, shaken and ready to quit, her coach offered her several choices to stay rather than just quit. She wanted rythmic gymnastics but he doesn't offer it right now, maybe next year with his wife as the coach. So he offered her to stay L7 and not compete until her confidence returned (she said no), cheerleading because their coach was watching her and wanted her for a tumbler (no again with mom's approval) and then finally Tramp/Tumble. She has made the transition to Tramp/Tumble and loves it! Her fear is gone and the strength from the floor and vault have made her one of the strongest trampolineers in our gym! She dragged her older brother with her to open gym one Saturday, now he's hooked and on the team as well. He's a former gymnast but not competitive.
We had no idea this one change would change 2 kids lives! We were thrilled!!!
They tell me the competitions for t/t are like a 3-ringed circus. You compete against your age in each section and can compete different levels in each section. You can change levels mid year with no problem, coach just has to submit the paperwork and it's done!
This year should be interesting with 2 in competition now. What a whirlwind of a ride for their parents!
