Hello all!
I don't post often although I do read!
My level 3 gymnast is trying to work her way back from an injury. She's been on "light duty" for a few months now and is now, hopefully, finishing PT and able to get back to doing what she loves! She's ready on 2/4 events and is hoping to add the last 2 soon. She hasn't been able to tumble so we're hopeful she can get back to it ASAP - its sad watching her friends do what she can't. She hasn't missed practice and is working hard on what she can do.
However, she has had some days when she comes home pretty upset by something one of the 6 coaches in the gym has said to her. They'll accuse her of faking her injury and mention she shouldn't be able to do "X" so she must be faking it. This makes her SO mad and because its happened with 4 of the coaches at various times during her recovery process. I'll be honest that it makes me mad too. I'm not sure what they're trying to get from her by saying those things but I would react just as negatively as my daughter does.
Am I looking at this wrong? Thankfully her main coach has been totally supportive and never said anything to her like that, so she still wants to go to gym and participate but she's formed very negative opinions of the other coaches - most of whom she would have to work with has she moves up.
Thoughts?
