I have been reading thread after thread trying to gain wisdom and insight from all you gym moms regarding our current situation. You are full of great advice and have more "gym mom" experience than myself so here it is: My dd is 11 and training (new) level 6 this season. This will be her third competitive season if we make it that far. Last year she placed first AA at State in L5 and scored out of old 6 this summer. She has a great coach who says she has a lot of talent and goes beyond what any other coach has done for her. The problems started last year when she developed fear issues after a bad night on BB at a meet. Ever since then she has had complaints of not being good enough because she can't get a new skill or she is afraid of it. This summer she and her teammates started working giants and BHS on beam. All was fine until she fell into pit head first during a spotted giant. She refused to do them again even on LB. The rest of her teammates are progressing and she feels like that means she isn't good enough. Her coach isn't pushing those but now telling her she only gets 1 spot on BHS on LB and then she's on her own. She frequently states she doesn't want to quit but that it's too much pressure and now she doesn't want to compete or go to gym 4 days per week. Her floor and beam routines are beautiful and she loves performing them at practice. However last week she starting balking on a ROBHSBT because her coach wouldn't let her warm up a ROBHS. This has never been a problem before. She came home upset again!! I finally decided to pull her out for November so she could figure out what "she" wanted. I told her I would love her no matter what but deep down I am devastated. Her coach wasn't happy but I felt it was the only way to see if the love for gymnastics was still there. Now I am wondering if I did the right thing. Any thoughts??
