(I'm mainly just venting here)
SO, last summer, one of my boys (would have been a level 6 this past year) seemed to be burning out, and from talking to him it was clear that he was getting bored with compulsories. So I made him a deal; if he'd stick around, he could take the year off from competing and spend the season training towards level 8, and I'd also allow him to specialize on his favorite events (rings and p-bars). He liked that idea, and so we went with it.
He spent the past year working his butt off and making HUGE strides, especially on rings. I think he would have a pretty good shot at being state champion on rings this year at L8...
.... except he's quitting at the end of the month.
ARGHHHHHHHHHHHH!
