Coaches...how would you handle it if someone on the squad refused to stunt with another squad member?
My daughters high school coach for varsity is not very flexible, it’s her program, her way only. For example, she has them do a warmup what she calls 1,2,3’s. These are (standing tumbling) 1 bhs, then 1 bhs to tuck, next 2 bhs series and 2 to tuck, then 3 bhs and 3 to tuck. Refuses to do it any other way.
Tryouts for varsity are around the corner and she wants a certain girl to be a flyer. This girl has no flying experience, does not take corrections and goofs off all the time, but she’s skinny.
The coach hates my daughter because she’s an allstar and she gets injured (grade 2 concussion) or sick a lot (asthma so prone to respiratory infections). She struggles a lot with her mile time because of it, she’s fine with sprints though. Her team coaches don’t have problems working with whatever comes up.
They’ve tried this girl as a flyer before and it didn’t work. Now they are trying it again. My daughter has said she will refuse to base her. I support her in this. The concussion she had was from being repeatedly kicked in the head by a flyer with no experience (it was real concussion, not let’s be cautious and call it concussion). It was months of therapy and she still medicated over a year later.
