    This is very on point, thank you. Yes, she did like two months of rec then straight to team. No pre team. This makes a lot of sense about the long term work needed on fundamentals and which is not always apparent to a new parent (or any parent!). Not much uptraining at all L3, hardly any. Yes...

    I never said anything on this: “# of routines, amount of time upgrading, etc.” and no I am not “an experienced coach” lol 😂 - if you read the post that much would be clear and I wouldn’t be posting here asking for insight. But I’m fairly certain that was meant more as a dig at me than anything...

    What’s different is… the gym and coaching. Which is rather major. Which is why I made my post. If your daughter’s performance dropped precipitously and she was unhappy wouldn’t you do the same??

    If it were 100% up to me (and my partner) I would have her leave the sport as I think there's too much insanity and room to go wrong. Maybe I am subconsciously panicking and looking for a way out. Now there’s an insight I need to ponder.

    All great points, thank you. I do need to have that conversation with her and I think she’s being hard on herself. I am an analyst at heart - like I said before, or it’s just my autism, trying to understand as best as I can with as much info as possible. There are so many assumptions in...

    I really do appreciate various thoughts, questions and opinions and the time spent writing them. I posted here because I felt caught up in a churn of thinking and trying to assess. I had various theories about underlying causes to her current situation and the thread has helped me add to those...

    Understood, thanks for overall thoughts. She is happy at gym in that she thinks everyone is “nice” and fun. She is deeply upset and loses sleep over her scores and performance. I am trying to put her in best environment for both.

    This is helpful, thank u. This is kind of what I was getting at in original post in making sense of why it’s happening. I think you’re right I should ask to better understand full picture and full trajectory instead of over analyzing a snapshot of scores!

    Thank you for your concern and you’re right about not pressuring her and such. But you’re wrong - I’ve absolutely not vocalized that to her. I am a counselor and emotional health and wellbeing is my utmost concern. And why I pulled her from a gym that helped her perform top. If that isn’t...

    Yes of course. I responded that to another response saying that remark had not originally come from me.

    No, lots of overall drops. but among very high scoring l3 I don’t see anyone struggling 35/36 at l4 - my hypothesis is that this gym is not good fit for her specifically. Clearly that’s working ok for bulk of other solid scorers who were 36/37 last year and 35/36/37 this year. Or those who were...

    Yes, 39 last year at a different gym. Which is why I’m questioning whether it’s working this year. I understand 4 is harder but this discrepancy doesn’t add up. I’ve reviewed scores and data and have yet to find a child at either gym with this big of a gap from 3 to 4 in scores. Which is leading...

    I would say chuck and throw = run and do some front tucks into the pit (instead of drills to teach shape and form on that first) so many girls are just running and hurling. I’ve never seen instruction, spotting, or drills on shape for that portion of practice. It’s more like open trampoline park...

    That makes sense. She could keep everything straight and make all corrections at last gym. She was the one doing all Of that. But not here. I’m not certain why except group size and lack of structure for her.
