Okay so we have recently undergone a change in coaching at the gym and we are having issues with our current coach. She is a lovely person don't get me wrong, she is really nice and all but the problem is her inconsistency, mood swings and she is too much friend not enough coach.
Me and my teammates have discussed this to a great extent and we are all on the same page. Here are some observations since she has taken over:
Training is inconsistent and depends on her mood and it varies so much from day to day. It is really frustrating.
Furthermore, I find that because I'm injured she just sort of overlooks me and I have basically been coaching myself for the past 4 weeks.
Oh and there is one girl who is infuriating - she says her elbow is injured (which it is) and constantly makes up what she's allowed to do. One day she can't walkover but her physio says she can flic on beam. Makes no sense and it drives me crazy!
Me and my teammates have discussed this to a great extent and we are all on the same page. Here are some observations since she has taken over:
- More injuries - whether this coincidence as one is reoccurring, another is over use (this girl was in another squad) and one is a long term thing from a while ago and then mine was a result of a skill. In a squad of 15 6 of us are injured at the moment.
- Decline in strength - 1 could be a result of this. Our strength has gone down significantly.
- Little skill progression - while lots of us are injured and this makes it difficult to progress but even healthy people aren't progressing and we are going into level 7 which is a big jump and we should be getting new skills now.
