Hi, our daughter is 14 and completed L9 last year. She had a tough season with major changes in coaching at her gym, was sick a lot (colds) and had a couple of minor injuries. She only competed 2 meets all four events. She has been taking a break from practice. We were just ordering more Leo’s/sports bras last week and now says she’s done.
She’s been hanging out with school friends and definitely seems more connected to her school friends than gym friends. There have been a lot of girls leaving the gym which I imagine doesn’t help morale. This year academics were harder than ever and I’m guessing she’s thinking that going into 9th grade, the grind of gymnastics and all she has to give up isn’t worth it. How would you handle the situation?
