Women What do coaches feel at meets?

[Aero]

We feel EVERYTHING. So please just buy us a beer at the end and don't talk about gym!

MY SENTIMENTS EXACTLY.

I'll take a glass of wine in place of the beer

Coming from a young coach...yes, I feel everything. My anxiety is through the roof, esp. when watching beam. I guess I feel more nerves for kids who are consistently doing well in practice because I know they CAN hit routines, just a question of if they do. The ones that are inconsistent I just hope they make it through without falls. Equal nerves just in different ways.

But pressure, oh yes. I feel it. Especially with 3 other competitive gyms in a 1o mile radius. Last meet we ROTATED with a gym down the road from us. I felt the pressure to do well in front of the parents with each girl competing.

Sasha.....I'm with gymbean....I love this post, thank you for starting this thread. And THANK YOU Coaches for being such amazing supporters to our gymmies during a time when we don't have access to them.

Cheers....those drinks are definitely waiting for you guys on my table with beer and wine.
