WAG Anything to help

[Misunderstood]

Any words or anything that could help a child that has to scratch on some events at her first level 4 meet ? The meet is 2 weeks away and she was told by the coaches that she can’t compete on the events that she doesn’t have the skills for. She cried a lot and is being hard on herself about it.

Different gyms have different policies about this, and it sounds like at your gym, because she doesn't have the skills, she is not ready to compete. I would hope this isn't coming as a surprise to her. I have been at gyms with similar policies, especially in the lower levels, and it is always known from the very beginning of the season. Is there anyone else not competing all the events?

The good news is that now she knows exactly what her goals are and where her focus should be. Make it a goal to compete all four events.
