*WARNING: MAJOR RANT**So my gym recently got a new head coach of the women's program. She's been working there for a while, coaching our highest level girls, but she is not a very nice person...she coached a group for a while with a wide age and level range, in which she would go whole practices without speaking to the older girls (16) and lower level girls (lvl 5). Now she;s in charge of the whole program, and this way of working with her group has expanded to the way she treats the whole women's program. My group (that i train in) has girls 15 and up from level 4-6.
My friend and I are level 6 working on level 7 skills. Anyway, there was a meeting for all the women's competetive parents, except for ours. There was a meeting of all the female competetive athletes, except for us. I'm starting to feel like we're being pushed out of the program. (I might also mention that my friend and I also had the best results of the whole program at provincials last year). As well, we have a tradition (not rule, but it is pretty well followed) that everyone keeps their floor routine for two years, and then gets a new one. I was supposed to get a new routine last year, but didn't. This year I was promised that I would be getting a new floor routine, choreographed by either our head women's coach or another women's coach. Today I found out this is not the case, my male coach will be choreograp[hing it. So basically I am keeping my routine for the fourth year.
I feel royally shafted. We pay about $4000 a year to go to this gym, and work hard like all the other athletes. I'm really sorry for the rant, but I don't know what to do, if anything, or if I should just suck it up. Thanks for listenning!
