So I am both a coach and a parent (I don't coach my own kids) but I am posting this from a parents point of view. My kids have been going to the same gym for 5 years and I must have paid them thousands and thousands of pounds.Yet I never feel treated as a customer.
Because it's a gymnastics club parents and gymnasts are just expected to suck up crap like being financially fleeced, favouritism, mediocre coaching. You can't question anything without feeling you will be labelled a 'pushy parent', be met with defensiveness (or sulking) and hostility.
Why do we put up with it!!
