My daughter is thinking about going back to gymnastics (Xcel) after leaving her gym at the end of the summer. She is currently doing HS track and they practice 5 days a week after school. The head track coach has a strict policy about attending all practices. So, she would have to do two practices twice a week – track for 2 hours and then gym for 4. I don’t know if this will work. Anyone have any similar experiences?
I was thinking she could plan to take it easy during track practice on the days she would have gymnastics and might suggest she discuss with her coach. She currently trains with the assistant track coach who also coached her during fall XC and he was a bit more lenient about missing practice so he might be willing to work with her so she could do both.
She loves track and has already had the opportunity to compete in some varsity meets as a freshman, so I know she won’t want to give it up for gymnastics – but she is really missing gymnastics.
