quitting

My DD who's 6 y.o. says she wants to quit gymnastics. Why? The coaches are mean and she doesn't like sweating. I don't think the coaches are really mean, more like tough., and the sweating part.. well I don't know anyone who really likes sweating. I think the real problem is up until now...

sorry posted in wrong forum

I am worried because a lot of my dd's teammates have quit in the last month or so. These girls are her friends, so it is hard for her to see them go. Her closest friend just announced she was quitting last week. My dd still doen't know. My own dd sometimes talks about quitting, but I...

DD has had two bad level 6 meets in a row. After today's meet which she didn't finish she says she is quitting. Last meet was travel meet right after our vacation so she had only practiced once and made two critical mistakes - on beam she touched the beam after saluting and then withdrew her...

I have been having a really discouraging past 3 months in gymnastics. I fell on a ROBHS and haven't done one without a spot since. I still had my standing bhs, but now that's gone too, I guess I just lost the feeling. I had a really good bar routine but now I lost the single leg shoot through (...

This is a fine distinction that was very important to me leading up to the end of my senior year of high school. I remember girls I looked up to on my team (yes, they were usually younger than me...) hit a tricky skill or loose old skills, struggle for a little while, and then just quit. A...

My 4.5 year old has just started back in the last 2 months into gymnastics. He was a precocious kid, throwing cartwheels 2 years ago, etc. Enjoyed preschool gym and free play. He was kicked out of mommy and me a year early because they were afraid of liability and they wanted him in a...

Well, she was finally getting to move to the team program, after a lot of hard work over almost two years in rec and developemental classes. She was getting better at old skills, and getting some new ones too. Then....we get home from school last week, she has her snack, does her homework...

Well, dd has made her decision. She is going to compete L6 in the Fall, and then re-evaluate & decide if she wants to do a Winter season as a Prep-Opt. As you may remember, she was getting the 'quitties' in mid-June. I decided my approach, at least for a while, would be to tell her she HAD to...

Hi All, Last week I posted about my dd wanting to quit gym--saying she was 'bored' and wanted more time at home. I told her she would have to stick it out for a while. She has complied, and keeps going to gym. I have backed-off of talking to her about gym or asking any questions. Just being...

Hi. I posted a few months ago on the Q & A Forum about moving to a new gym, from CA to FL. We moved, & I reported back that my dd loved her new gym here, & all was well. She's just been moved up to L6, after competing 2 yrs in L5 (she was state champ in CA on bars & beam last Fall-had a GREAT...
