Does anybody have any advice on not feeling guilty about switching gyms? My DD is switching gyms right after her states, we have decided not to tell them in advance because I don't want anything to be taken out on my DD or be treated differently on her last days. I am planning on calling her gym the day after states and telling them she will not be returning. My DD is also planning on texting her coach a couple days after I call to thank her for what she had done for the szn. This is also because we are planning on switching to their rival gym. ( her old coach had moved to this gym and she wants to be with her old coach too.) Almost everyone that works at our current gym is manipulative and always tells their gymnasts that there is no better gym then theirs. My DD feels guilty about leaving because she likes her current coach that she has for just this season but she feels that she can't take her much farther. Me and my DD feel that the equipment is not suitable for her anymore, and there has been lots of drama that was taken out on her even if she hadn't done anything. Because they took other peoples word. I feel as the gym is very sketchy too, and seems that they only care for the money. There's a lot more that has happend but I don't feel comfortable sharing on here yet, so if anybody has any advice on not feeling guilty about switching gyms, it would be appreciated. Shes still on the bridge with switching because she only doesn't want to switch when they are nice to her, when something happens, or they arent, she automatically wants to leave. Another thing I think is horrible is that they are forced to wear shorts!! All because of false accusations and they blame it on the gymnasts and make them wear shorts instead of doing something. Please if anyone has any advice let us know!
