My DD has been in gymnastics since age 5 (7 now), no she is not the most talented girl out there, but she is equal to most of the others in her class (girls advanced), if not a little better than some. She is focused, determined, and a good listener, according to her coach. I hate to ask the coaches (they stay out of parents line of fire, it seems to me), for fear of being "one of those parents" that are pushy and think their daughter/son is better than every one else, but....Over the last month or so, she is getting board in class, is not as gung-ho on going, and feels kinda down cause she sees others getting cherry picked for pre team, but she keeps getting passed over. Why cant the coaches come to us and say something like, she needs to work on this, that or the other, then we will evaluate, etc. We are kinda left in the dark as to who gets picked and why. My question would be, have any of you had similar experiences? Is this normal? Are we in a not so friendly, snobbish gym or what?
Again, she may not be the most talented, but she works hard, and takes instruction well, so maybe I would just like to know exactly what coaches look for.
Any info would be appreciated! Thanks, Jodi
