My daughter, 9 is training level 4.....She has suffered with lots of fears. Half the time she says she isn't sure if she wants to go to practice. We have talked about fears and her coach understands. But the bottom line, is she has to want it. And when we discuss quitting, she isn't sure...
She has spoken to some of her teammates about how they focus. Her coach is also having to "talk" with her about her focusing. She also complains to me that there are too many things. The other girls don't seem to have the trouble she does. They have better form and are able to think about...
my daughter is 8, training level 4. She struggles on focusing on form, the details, squeezing her bottom at the same time pointing her toes. I told her you just tighten everything but she feels so overwhelmed. Or with vault running fast, large hurdle arms to ears, etc, she is overwhelmed with...
Is it customary for the coaches to bail the second competition is over? 4 of our girls placed and our team won 2nd place all around and the coaches left and weren't there to support our girls and congratulate them!!! I'm shocked, pissed and dismayed!!!!

My just turned 7 year old is training level 3. Her form is probably the worst on the team. She "thinks" she's pointing or has tight legs. But honestly does do it when she is really thinking about it!! But after the reminder from coach, falls back into her habits....
Have any of you Moms of...
Ah, thank you all so much. I am VERY new to team obviously. So, if I am understanding what "scratch" a couple competitions means, could mean she would be asked to "sit them out" as to not bring the team scores down? Is that right? I agree, about the coach. I really love her actually too. I'm...
My daughter is training level 3. They are about to bump hours. Coach came up to me last night and said my daughter needs to focus a bit more and take the coaches direction a little more or she is afraid she may fall behind. I was a bit surprised since all the girls have good nights and bad...
