I would really like to get other opinions on this and especially from other coaches point of view. My DD's state meet is this weekend and she just came back fully to practice on Monday. She has never stopped going to practice but has had a couple of injuries. The last time she flipped her vault was 2 1/2 weeks ago in a private lesson. She had some stress to her cartlidge in her wrist which the MRI showed wasn't anything of substance (but was extremyl painful for awhile)and then had a broken toe. Her toe is now healed and is back to full work outs.
My question is would you allow her to vault during this week's practices or not allow her the opportunity to give it a try? Her coach orginally would not allow her to vault until Friday (State meet is Sunday). He says not one coach out there would allow her to do this. Her vault is a Yurchenko tuck..the owner of the gym says she needs 50 vaults to be able to compete it safely. Honestly,she has scared me on this vault all together. Telling me she could break her neck. She will compete a lower start value vault if the coach feels like allowing her to do this. He now threatens her at every practice and in my opinion playing "mind games" with her.
