If you and other moms felt that your DD's group is pretty much the "reject" group, the group that gets cast to the side. Would you express your concerns to the HC or just let it go in fear of becoming that crazy gym mom?

Thank you all for the good advice. My daughter is a "go with the flow" type of person. She hasn't really said anything until another girl on her team said something and then she asked me if it was true or not. I personally love her coaches but there are times when I feel just like the other moms in feeling our level gets left out. My daughter also said they are the only group that doesn't get to up train any skills, that bothers her a little.
I think it's funny how many people in this space worry about being a CGM. I'm pretty sure the people like that don't worry!
Here's ten signs that you're a crazy gym mum, that help me to be the best gym mum I can be:
As for the OP - I'm with everyone else. Watch it play out for a bit longer, unless you feel that the circumstances could result in someone being hurt. I've always found 3 months to be a very long time in gymnastics, and often new things that looked set in stone are tweaked to everyone's satisfaction. It's just a matter of sometimes being patient.
- Your focus is only on your own gymnast - you don't really give a stuff about the others in their team, or the club in general
- You have lots of meetings with the coach, gym admin owners etc, rather than building your gymnast up to talk to their coach about what their goals are or what they are happy/unhappy about
- You watch all the training sessions and feel you have to give feedback to your gymnast on top of what the coaches are providing
- You focus on what your gymnast is working on right now, what level they are competing this year and what scores they are getting compared to others, rather than seeing the here and now as part of a longer term plan
- You forget that somewhere at the bottom of this sport are a bunch of kids who should see it as fun - at training and at comps
- You don't keep your mouth shut or offer kind condolences when someone else's gymnast has a really bad competition
- You focus on whether your gymnast comes first or wins a medal, rather than if they and their coach were happy with how they hit their routines
- You feel compelled to tell others what they should do with their gymnast based on your own decisions and circumstances, rather than empowering them to see their options and feel they can make up their own mind
- You get caught up in owning the gym dream yourself, rather than keeping it firmly in your gymnast's grasp
- You wear one of those puffer jackets without sleeves, skinny jeans and long boots that makes you look like you've just walked in from pony club, along with perfect hair and make up!
Yes, Grass is always greener syndromeIf you and other moms felt that your DD's group is pretty much the "reject" group, the group that gets cast to the side. Would you express your concerns to the HC or just let it go in fear of becoming that crazy gym mom?
And after all this your DD quits because it's just not fun anymore... hmmmmm wonder why...I think it's funny how many people in this space worry about being a CGM. I'm pretty sure the people like that don't worry!
