Is there any way one can tell if the inadequate performance of a gymnast is due to the gymnast's own limitations or the coaches' limitations and/or a suprerior performance of a gymnast is result of superior coaching or superior natural ability of the gymnast.?
I do understand that it takes both great coaching and great natural ability to produce an exemptional gymnast. It just seems like 95% of our gymnasts always ends in the bottom. We have maybe 2 or 3 that consistently place and we have one aspiring elite. Our aspiring 17 year old elite, places 1st at every Level 10 meet but has been trying for 2 to 3 years to qualify as an elite. I just wondered if it is the gymnasts in our gym or if the coaches are the ones lacking. I personally think our gymnasts look like they can be real good. BUt then again I am not a coach, a judge and I can't even tell the difference between one tumbling pass to another. I also feel our coaches are good. Though I will admit, our gymnasts don't get enough conditioning and hands on coaching. But again, I don't know what is standard hands on coaching and how much conditioning is standard. I really do not know. BTW: though I do not have gymnastics skills or knowledge, I have extensive dancing experience and can tell good form, line in space, amplitude, etc.
