    Parents Email from USAG this morning (Webinar: Tough Coaching vs. Emotional Abuse)

    Everyone has probably read it by now,. Did anyone watch the webinar? For me very validating. Wish I had seen it sooner, like a few years sooner. Thoughts?

    A little background. My dd is seven and training level 5. She did compete level 4 last year and going into it, didn't really know what to expect. She went to practice and didn't really care about imperfections and if she got a skill or not. In fact, she went through half the year without her...
