Anon Tell me your crazy gym parent behaviors

[Anonymous (4266)]

Many years ago when our daughters were around 8 years old, one of the mothers was calculating what year olympics her daughter could aim for. This level of delusion was so shocking I was quite literally speechless. I just sat there with a 'deer in the headlights' expression. She never brought it up again.

We’ve heard that math in our gym for 8 year olds. And there is one 8 year old for whom everyone has probably secretly done that math (including me!). She’s truly brilliant to watch. And I say this coming from a gym with plenty of junior and senior elites and current national team members.

Mom told daughter who is a senior to delay graduation a year so that she can go to level 10 and be recruited by a D1 school. Daughter does not have the mobility score for level 9.

Someone at our gym is doing that, but as a junior. Or maybe it’s the same gym and I misunderstood- hopefully there’s only one family in the world who thinks this makes sense.
