Ok so here is some more of my gym drama! Since dd wouldn't do bwo on the beam the other night 2 of the female coaches came up with the idea that we should do a private with the one female coach that didn't yell at my dd for not doing them. So we did the private after practice on Friday. All it took was the coach spotting my dd 3 times on bwo for her to do them herself on high beam! I was like I knew that is all that it would take. So they moved onto floor, where they were supposed to redo her floor routine because they had to recut her music because it was too long. Well the coach spotted her on her robh, back tuck pass 3 times and told my daughter to do it on her own the next time. Well dd started to freak out, because she was scared and she refused to tumble. So I made dd leave since she wasn't willing to do anything else. I still had to pay for a 30 min. private even though the coach only worked with her for 5 min.
Well we had a meet today and they made dd scratch floor because she never did a complete routine to the recut music. I understood this and I wasn't mad about that. Beam was their first rotation and dd scored 9.225(with her bwo/bwo)! YEAH! And she took 4th place. Then floor which I already mentioned she scratched. Then they noved onto vault. DD hasn't went over the vault at all since she returned on Monday. But she went over at the meet. Didn't do very well, but that's ok. She still got an 8.3, no place. Then they moved onto bars! This is where I get a little upset. She does a pretty good bar routine and only scores an 8.675. Now the reason I got mad was because the coach didn't understand why she received that score, so he went and discussed it with the judges. Come to find out, she is missing a circling element in the routine. She is supposed to have at least 2 and she only did 1. Well that is how she was told to do her routine and how she has practiced it. Why wasn't it corrected at practice? Surely the coaches knew that she had to have 2 circling elements! Now the meet that she did go to, with a hurt knee, she did the same exact bar routine and received a 9.0. Did she receive the deduction then, I wonder? But anyways she did wind up placing 4th on bars. She would have won bars had her routine been correct! 1st place on bars was only a 9.125, so if you add the .5 back into that for the missing skill my dd would have gotten a 9.175!
Anyways, I'll stop complaining now! I think that my dd did fantastic though! She was excited with her scores considering the 3 months off!
