I have a great deal of respect for DD's coaches. They have been great role models for DD. And, the gym has done a great job of putting the right personality coaches at the right levels. DD had the huggy, warm, fuzzy HC for preteam. For L3, she had the big sistery HC who worked them a little harder, but still played and had fun with them. The L4 HC is no nonsense and works them hard. But, she rewards them with working fun, future skills when they work hard. She doesn't make them all the same - the girls that work for it get the rewards while those who slack get drills, etc. I think my DD is unlikely to "like" her the same way she did her previous coaches. But, she definitely appreciates that she draws the best out in her.
