Proud Parent
DD is pretty sure she needs a different coach and that means choosing a new gym so she'll have tryouts over the next month or so. We're fortunate to have a number of good choices in our metro area.
How do I help her evaluate the team/coach/gym for a fit for longterm commitment?
What can she ask the coaches, the girls? What should she be observing while training?
What should I ask the coaches and owner? Is it usual to talk to a current team parent for insight?
Doing new/different skills at a tryout facility is exciting, but not a reason to choose a new gym/coach. She's seeking a positive working relationship. Her main concern is to find a coach who can inspire, goad, encourage, correct, and support in a positive manner.
If it influences your thoughts, we're looking for a fit at L7.
