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.
