Ok so I'm going to keep it short but I would like opinions. Is this acceptable from a coach?
-12 year old level 9 gymnast is on beam.
-They have routines.
-Coach has them do routine after routine after routine (to the point where she was tired, in my opinion this is tough but that's not the problem.)
-Gymnast misses foot on back hand spring lay out step out series and knees her nose.
-Coach raises voice and says it's not acceptable and that she should never ever fall on that skill.
-Gymnast is crying and has a terrible nose bleed.
-Couch laughs angrily.
-Gymnast runs to bathroom where she continues to cry and bleed.
-Gymnast is in bathroom for 15 min. holding tissue to nose and crying.
-Gymnast goes to the lobby still crying and wanting to go home.
-Coach goes to her and tells her she has to work out.
-She comes in and goes to next event where her group is.
-Coach yells at her that she has to stay on beam.
-She stays on beam but does basics and skills on the floor, still crying.
-Coach lets her go to another event after being on beam for 2 rotations.
I think this is horrible and can't believe that happened today. The girl is 12 for crying out loud! Am I exaggerating? Opinions welcomed.
