Hello. I don't post a lot, but I do read a lot
DD is L8, went back from L9. (long story, previous posts, got multiple blocks and still working through them).
Anyway, DD has a meet in two days. She went from being a great, consistent gymnast (10 years old, level 9) to being a mess. I hate to say that about my own child, but she is. Unfortunately, she has a horrible coach and unfortunately, there is no where else for us to go.
Vault-tsuk, if she balks once or twice coach makes her go to another event at practice. When she does her vault, it's nice.
Bars-a total and complete mess! won't do giants, dismount, cast to handstand, it's really, really bad
Floor-balks on some of her tumbling (used to be a great tumbler)
Beam-50/50 chance she'll do her series which leads into her dismount
Knowing this, do I allow her to compete? Yes, it's paid for already, but I honestly don't want to go. She says she's going to do her stuff, but I know that's just wishful thinking. I told her that if she can't/won't do it in her gym, it's not likely she will do it some place else.
She's scared and nervous, that's the "excuses" she is giving for not doing what she needs to do. She has competed everything she won't do now and it's getting frustrating
