I know I can't be the only one...
Let's say you're watching your gymmie during a workout, and coach points out something specific to work on. You see that DD hears the coach, but continues to do the same mistake over and over. Coach corrects mistake again.. and again. And then they get it - once or twice. Then go back to the same ol ways 5 mintues later.
Ex. Nastia has this adversion about her arms & hands NOT being up high enough or turned in properly on many of her routines. Coach has physically positioned her arms to where she wants them. Nastia says "Oh ok", then doesn't do it when she performs the skill. I think she THINKS she is, but she actually ins't. After a few attempts, coach closes her eyes, let's out a sigh, and moves on...
What do you do??
- Do you talk with your DD?
- shake your head, let it ride, and allow coach and DD to work it out?
- Talk to the coach and ask them to be more insistent that your DD "get's it".
- Recollect Bill Cosby's 1980's comedy routine about children with "brain damage"?
Honestly...i want to do ALL of the above, but the little cheerleader in the back of my head is saying 'stay out of it.'
I mean, it's hard to continually say to your DD that "You're going great"...when in fact you can see that she's doing OK, but if she listened more, she would be much better.
I'm not sure this is a question, or a vent.
