I need some advice...we are currently in our competitive season and I am wondering if I am teaching my dd to quit something once she starts it b/c I am wanting her to switch gyms. Currently, the coach humiliates girls (openly) when they do not do something correctly. The coach yells at the girls (some more than others) thinking this motivates them. My dd has told me she has been yelled at to the point she couldn't even perform the task being asked b/c she was so (no word to describe) because she's only 8 and didn't know how to explain it other than the coach was in her head....apparently this went on all last season...not to my knowledge. I looked at gyms over the summer but none seemed to fit...so we stayed. Recently we found a gym we like and she started taking a class there..to feel out the coaching. The other day I was spoken in a demeaning way by the coach, so I am ready to pull my daughter...so my question is: am I teaching her to quit when the going gets tough or am I teaching her that NO ONE is allowed to treat her in a way that is disrespectful and if it happens you must stop it? I could write pages on what stuff has gone on...but the short version is above. Just to let you know, a good day is when she gets yelled at a little...I feel bad for her...and yes, she does want to go to the other gym...not sure she wants to move during the season, but I am afraid of what mentally could happen in 4 months time...she at this point still loves the sport and wants to continue. Thanks! One more thing, if she doesn't do things correctly she is punished with extra conditioning in front of all the other girls and there is constant eye rolling by the coach.
