I had a dream last night that I went to pick up DD from gymnastics and the head coach pulled me aside to talk to me, she said "DD won't be working out on bars yet because she's not ready for the work out"
I was frantic and didn't understand why, so she handed me some other coach's phone so I could read a text message explaining why she couldn't do the bar work out....I started to scroll thru the message, but then my alarm went off so I woke up. Yikes! Glad that wasn't real.
So my question is, in real life, in the parent meeting, they said some gymnasts won't compete certain events if the coaches feel they aren't ready yet. I see both sides of this as they don't want team girls to compete something they can't do yet, which would get them low scores....on the parent side of this I like it because I wouldn't want DD competing something where she could get hurt if she tries a skill she can't do yet. At the same time though, I feel that as a L3, she shouldn't be hindered from something just because the gym doesn't want to get low scores, higher levels I understand but L3?
What are your thoughts?
And I just have to say, I didn't think night mares about gymnastics would come so soon, but clearly that milestone came and went already. Chuckle chuckle.
