My DD shared with me on the way home from practice today that she "balked" on every yurchenko timer today because she was scared (would run down runway, hurdle then stop). She explained that the vault coach told her that all of the girls in DD's group were now suddenly required to vault with the exact same table height and same number/placement of springs. According to the vault coach, this was a decision made by the HC, who was not there today. My DD (who is the weakest vaulter in the group, and also one of the lighter girls) typically has her table set 5cm lower and uses one less spring. My DD asked if she could start with one or the other (higher table/fewer springs or lower table/extra spring) but was told no. Vault coach told her if she wanted to "argue" she should take it up with HC. So my DD ran, hurdled and balked - over and over. Finally she was sent to a trainer vault in the pit area.
I know this is a small thing -- but is this typical? Should I reach out to a coach to discuss/advocate for DD? Given all of the anxiety my DD is feeling in the gym right now, this seems unproductive? Or am I just turning into a CGM?
Thanks in advance
