I have witnesses, on several occasions, one of our coaches being a bit over the top with one of the kids. The little one is 9 and there is obviously a personality clash between the child & the coach. I have seen this coach being harsh with others but not to the extent that she is with this little girl. Last week she dropped the girls legs whilst doing kip drills. Her legs fell hard to the floor and this is not the first time I have seen this.
She noticed that I was watching. The child's mother is aware of the coaching methods, however, as being there entices the little one to go to her when she is upset, she finds it better to leave the gym.
According to my DD this coach talks negatively about the kids (including my daughter & is not her coach) all within earshot of kids & other coaches.
There is a strong possibility that my daughter will be having this coach in the near future..and I am extremely worried.
I am all for tough coaching, however, as this coach is mostly singling out one child in particular I think she is crossing the line.
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks
