No they do not do alternatives. And although I like her coaches a lot they don't seem to be helping her get over this fear as it's been over a year .
One thing that worked for my DD is me telling her that NO ONE is going to help her through fear, except HERSELF. It is a mosnter she must tame, with the *help* of her coaches. But even if her coaches are not able to help, or if they might be having a bad day, etc....its still up to her to manage it. At 11 years old i think its a good age to begin picking the fear apart and identifying what is causing it. Is is her hands missing, is it hitting her head, is it vestibular...
I dont mean to sound blunt, but I cant tell you how many 13,14,15 year olds at my DDs gym that are still blaming the coaches because they wont help them with the BHS. They go home and tell mom that the coach is bad, and isnt helping them.
at the end of the day, its up to your DD to find what works. Can she do it on the floor? can she do it with stacked mats? can she work on it at her own pace? But standing there waiting for someone to help is not the answer. Help her put in a plan.
just last week mine was tearing up on the way to practice becasue of beam (!!) and she was like, 'my coach this, and my coach that'. I asked her if her coach is good and she said 'no' (lol, she was two weeks ago) I then said well, 'that sucks'. and too bad not all the coaches are great, and she has who she has. I also told her that if she had to, she could stand on the beam for 1 hr, which is the duration of the rotation.....that wasnt the end of the world. I said this very nicely, and matter of fact.
She cried and said 'i might get ropes' and i said, bummer.....i was sorry for her plight. In the end, she worked it out, did what she had to do sort of, and her coach thanked her for giving it her all.....thats it.
Talk to the coach- but understand they are not magicians.
