All, I am at a loss. We attend a large gym with over 200 girls on team. The entire reason we joined this gym is because the head coach for levels 4-9 is an incredible coach, all around amazing human, and KIND. He's also effective, with lots of top 100 girls, high scores and a few perfect 10s!
Last week, he was let go with very vague reasons and a lot of ugliness about the gym owner has come to light. In a nutshell - she said he's too good. She wants to appeal to a larger audience and he wants to foster top talent. They no longer saw eye to eye.
That said, meets start next week. Almost half the competitive team is refusing to come to practice and is awaiting his new job so they can follow.
My daughter wasn't coached by him full time, but she's upset. Thankfully, she has other coaches she loves so we're continuing on. But, what would you do? I feel like the owner has created chaos for hundreds of people (gymnasts and their families) and I am disgusted. This is an expensive sport, it requires crazy logistics for our family...and I am supposed to continue to trust this place?
UGH.
