Sitting in the lobby with a stopwatch so you can time the amount of time that each girl is getting on the beam (or bar)....sadly it is a true story.
Uhh, that one's normal!Prior to each meet you analyze past scores of all kids in your kid's awards group. After each meet you break down placement by whether the kids are repeaters or not.
Now, that's being fair to your child!!! LOLUhh, that one's normal!

Hey just a minute now....... That's a process I went through from the moment I started competing and continued as a coach. I gotta admit that I'd rather see the kids doing that, or their coaches, but if that's not happening then taking it upon yourself is fine with me. I think kids can set goals based on what they want, and can use their results compared to their peers to measure there progress. I'd say that a child who finishes in 10th place behind nine 2nd year kids deserves to enjoy the same emotional lift as the "winner."
Timing beam opportunities during practice........ pretty wacked considering some kids will move slower than others because they want to take too long to get to the skill the cgm want them to learn.
Shut up! Seriously??????

We had a mother TELL coach that she was bringing her daughter to the NEW L4 team camp when coach had suggested she repeat (compete NEW L3) because her season high at Old L4 had been 33.5 (at a meet where EVERYONE got at least 1 personal best... but several had 3 personal bests, her daughter being one of them). Her 2nd best was a 32.6. We also look at individual event scores and her best beam score was 8.1. It was her vault that helped her score so high.Sitting down with your chid pre meet and having a strategy meeting. Reviewing key corrections on each event ( straight legs on your BWO, remember to point your toes) and then discussing the corrections post meet. Goals are fine, technical corrections belong to the coach!
Giving the coach your expert opinion about where every child on the team should be placed next year.
