Hello friends,
I am a team coach at my gym and I have a variety of ages on team, but the oldest is about 14. Lately, she’s been showing up late (but the car is in the parking lot so she’s physically at the gym, just in the parking lot) and when asked if everything is okay, she says everything is fine. She just got a boyfriend so that may be a part of it. Also, she takes long bathroom breaks with her phone and disappears for a whole rotation (anywhere from 20-40 minutes). She said she has to be late because of school, and that may be, but I have some doubts and the long bathroom breaks point to that. The gymnast doesn’t apologize for being late or acknowledge it.
I don’t want to be a wild coach who monitors phone usage and bathroom breaks. But I’m frustrated at the abuse of my team and the rest of the team’s time when she’s in the parking lot but doesn’t come in or when she’s in the bathroom missing out on drills. And of course, I want to be sure she’s mentally okay.
TLDR Gymnast keeps showing up late, has been in the parking lot for long periods of time and takes long bathroom breaks with her phone
