As I have posted before I am having trouble with a certain coach which coaches tumbling, vault, and bar. I hadn't actually vaulted for what seemed like months (I think it was close to 5 weeks without vaulting over the real vault but I did vault into the pit over a trainer) so this mental issue was killing me and the coach didn't seem to care and would ignore me completely and then become jekyll and yell, call me names, say I was giving attitude (because almost in tears I was so sassy), and basically tell me to quit. I was actually considering quitting and my mom forced to take a week off for different reasons, I grabbed my grips and spent that week debating whether or not to ever go back.
I went back. I realized I absolutely loved gymnastics and couldn't live without it, the issue was the coach. This previous Thursday after the aforementioned coach had given up on me and all the girls went to break I was left to vault with the dance and beam coach, whom is great, but I couldn't make myself vault because I didn't feel safe. So she gets fed up and calls the guy coach over saying something about "maybe you can fix her" 2 minutes in and I do my first vault over the real vault in months.
The boy team coach just found a way to click with me, or got what would help me, he could see when I got frustrated and say the right things that just made sense. Maybe it was just that he was a different coach, I don't know but it was a very good idea to call him over.
So my question is do you think it would be inappropriate to ask to be coached by him or ask to maybe workout with the boys team since that's what he coaches? I still need floor and beam obviously but the aspects that I was ignored upon by the other coach (vault, tumbling, and bars) could be interchangeable with the guy events, is this unreasonable? What action should I take? Advice would be lovely.
Thank you in advance.
