In the 6 years I have been on team I have had 11 different coaches that I can remember. I got to practice on Monday to find that another one of my coaches won't be coming back.
My gym's coaching is kinda weird. Coach #1 who just quit is the only one who has ever coached above level 6 before. She worked at IGC this summer and even though she only coached me once a week it was always the most difficult practice of the week.
Coach #2 is supposed to be the level 5 6 7 coach, but she doesn't coach during the summer as she only lives in my area during the school year for college. I don't respond to her coaching style very well either, so I learned most of my skills with the help of coach #3.
Coach #3 actually has very little gymnastics experience of her own, and has kinda moved up through the levels with my team. She's officially the level 4 coach, but she's the coach who is there consistently at practice so she really coaches all the levels.
Well coach #1 left because she's graduating in May and has lots of school stuff to focus on, but she's the coach that always spots me on flyaways, layouts, and tucks off the beam. I really don't like having other people spot me on these things, but I'll get over it. It's more annoying that my coach left me 3 weeks before my first meet and in the middle of working through some fear issues on floor, beam, and bars.
And luckily this news comes after an excellent weekend involving breaking up with my boyfriend the day before Valentine's day.
