    WAG Why parents may accept abusive coaching

    This! Especially if the child is "used" to this "type" of feedback from other adults in their lives, then the perception would be this is normal. For children not used to this type of verbal "motivation"/abuse it can be very confusing.

    Parents Do you go to out-of-state meets as a compulsory level gymnast?

    I agree that it's odd to schedule an out of state meet the same time as state. Are both compulsory and optional attending the same meet? Our optional team does travel out of state. Our compulsory team does not travel out of state, but maybe that's because there are so many local meets to...

    Parents Advice of how to focus

    Sorry your dd is feeling overwhelmed. I agree with Madden3, that if the coach or she is trying to correct multiple things at once, it can be overwhelming. I like Annikins suggestion of a book of corrections and focusing on one correction. My DD writes in a journal before practice, quick notes...

    Parents coach doesn't believe child is injured - is this common?

    Thank you for your honest and candid response. I feel sick to my stomach thinking what have I taught my child to endure over the last three years in the name of "trusting the process" and "trusting the coach." Coach's mentality is, if I don't pick on you, then that's when you should be worried...

    Parents coach doesn't believe child is injured - is this common?

    Based on the reputations, the other local gyms would not be a good fit for my dd. Also, I don't want to think that the grass is always going to be greener ... there is another gym about an hour away with what seems to be a good program, looking from the outside in, but I'm sure each gym comes...

    Parents coach doesn't believe child is injured - is this common?

    I have been thinking the same thing ... but so many parents "LOVE" this coach that I keep telling myself that it must be me and I'm not used to that type of personality. Also my kid LOVES this coach.

    Parents coach doesn't believe child is injured - is this common?

    My husband overheard the coach talking to other parents "see, xx looks fine, she's not injured" to which my husband cut off the conversation as he asked the coach to stop talking. He had to ask her twice before she would stop. Coach was watching the gymnasts with the other parents.

    Parents coach doesn't believe child is injured - is this common?

    First time posting. Not sure what type of response I'm looking for, just needed to air instead of keeping it inside. A little background - my dd has competed for 3 years and has never complained of any injuries. Recently she sprained her ankle (hurts to run, jump, any impact). Two coaches...
