Pixie had an up & down week in gym. On one hand she made her beam dismount several times this week. yippie!! On the other hand her bars coach told her she was doing her stride circle wrong and she could no longer do it that way.
There are issue with this bars coach I posted about before. Too long to get into in this thread but if it weren't for the fact that Pixie's floor coach happened to coach her on bars one day she probably wouldn't have gotten her FHC a couple of weeks ago. All it took was for her to tell Pixie to kiss her knees and she got it. Just like that! One day Pixie was messing around on the "low" pit bar during free time and got her stride circle 2 days before her last meet. Well, her bars coach didn't tell her it was wrong until the middle of this week.
They have another meet this weekend and Pixie was just told she couldn't do her stride circle that way. She is not able to do the stride circle the "right" way (she can't make it around the bar at all). She was upset after practice, telling me that she would not be able to do her stride circle in the meet. Why did she wait until now to tell her?? Also, Pixie said other girl's do it the way she figured out how to do it but the coach didn't tell them they weren't allowed to do it that way.
What do you think?
This is her doing the stride circle the wrong way:
