This is about my younger DD, who is in rec gym. She really, really wants to be invited to team. She works hard, and begged to add a third class for more practice. She also begged to do the Sunday conditioning class to get stronger. She keeps plugging away, but she is just not strong enough for bars. At her request, I have asked two seperate coaches at the gym to give her a couple of private lessons- either on the bars or even just specific conditioning that she could carry to home. Both declined saying private lessons would be of no benefit to her. I am so frustrated because at our gym, you pay for privates, you get them. DD is ten, but she knows this and is hurt that they refused. She now feels she can't possibly improve or ever make team, and is heartbroken. I told her it doesn't mean that, but damn couldn't they just take the money and help her best they could? It's not like lessons come with any guarantees. Sigh. Rant over.
