I've been going to my gym for about three years, and I love it. The coaches are nice, it's close to my house, I have a lot of fun there.
However, for the life of me I cannot figure out why my team is so bad at competitions. We go roughly 12-18 hours a week, we work on our skills for a long time before the season, and we work hard. Yet when meet season comes around we are content with 32's and thrilled with 34's.
This isn't my first gym, and I don't exactly have the same attitude towards meets that they do. I am extremely competitive, and it kills me to see my name at the bottom of the score sheet.
Also, our boys team is fantastic. Most of the boys only work out 9 hours a week, yet they all do really well at meets. Last year they had two people make it onto the All Stars team.
Maybe I'm overreacting right now, but I just want to know why. What does your gym do to get higher skills? What are your coaching styles?
Thank you so much, this isn't exactly a question I can ask my coaches.
