Proud Parent
Hello! My daughter is9 years old and a level 5- has been with the same gym (I also attended this gym) her whole life. I love this gym dearly. I work hard for this gym with countless hours of volunteering and am always championing the gym because it is a second family to us.
Lately, one of the assistant coaches has been known to say just ridiculous things to the girls. I have heard it from Xcel parents and from JO parents. Sometimes they are directed at my daughter - she tells me about it so it obviously bothers her but never wants me to say anything. I try and respect that. Fast forward to this week, she has injured the base of ther metatarsal and is in a boot. She is weight bearing, they want her back in a week to check on status. They are treating it as an avulsion fracture. Last night at practice, this assistant coach told my girl "If that foot is not broken, I am going to break your other foot". Ummmmmm, WHAT? I realize that these girls need to be mentally though, they are! I just have heard enough comments directed at my daughter and from other parents that perhaps I need to say something to the owner. There were other comments made to my daughter as well, "Its just a toe fracture why are you in a boot?" Um, it's not a toe fracture, its the base of the metatarsal. I have all the literature from the orthopod that I am tempted to send to her head coach and say, it seems that there is some confusion as to what this injury is exactly.
Anyway, if you were in this situation, what would you do?
