In upper-level optionals, how much time should a coach give the acquisition of a new to "newish' skill before giving up on the skill altogether and moving on towards another "option" to fulfill a requirement?
In this case, specifically, a pak vs a bail or a "C" bar dismount that leads nowhere vs a double-back dismount.
My dd tends to pick up skills and decent form relatively quickly. My impression is that when she actually struggles on a skill her primary coach loses patience, gives up on the skill and finds something else she can do....after all, it's called optionals for a reason. But I'm trying hard to trust that switching out these two skills is in her best interest, I just can't get myself on board, particularly on that dismount.
