Parents Cried in front of the coach :/

[Aggie]

My daughter had a rough gymnastics practice today. She couldn’t land a skill, another gymnast made a comment, and she got really upset. Her coach comforted her, and I got emotional too—ended up crying when her coach came to talk to me about it after.

Other parents saw me and now I feel awkward. I’m not upset about her skill level. Just seeing her struggle breaks my heart, and I tend to cry in emotional moments. Even though I know it’s good for her! I have told myself all the things, but I’m just a crier.

Has anyone else cried in front of a coach? I’m so embarrassed.

I am sure coaches have dealt with all kinds of emotions and wouldnt worry about it.

Parents have cried in front of me all the time. You love your kids and want the best for them.
