Hi all,
My Dd had her first optional meet a few days ago. Her normal coach was there as well as the head coach who never works with her. She is still a little weak on bars due to bent legs and is working to improve. During warm-up on bars, the HC noticed her bent legs and told her he would throw her out of the rest of the meet if they were bent when she competed. Of course she was a little shaken up by this and it got in her head, causing her to perform poorly on both bars and her last event, beam. She told me she was so worried about making the HC upset that she just wanted to get off the floor and is scared to work with him in the future. Is this normal optional coach behavior? I expected the expectations to be higher but my gut tells me this is not acceptable. I did email the HC about my concerns and he says he doesn't recall saying that to Dd . What do you think?
