Not to mentions teams that perform stunts which they KNOW they can't hit, but try anyway in hopes of getting a high score! How can a coach watch a stunt bobble and fall, or a kid hit their head and land on their knees in a BHS over and over again and be okay with it? SMH!SLOPPY TUMBLING! Ugh can't stand seeing bent body positions and terrible technique
Omg! This is me right now!! Just switched gyms (already more happy at my new gym then my old one) my coaches at my old gym never really liked me so I'm sure they'll have one or five things to say when they find out :/ I am not looking forward to seeing them at our first comp
If they apparently ddnt like you... maybe they wnt care youre at another gym? Unless your team verses them and you dominate!!
Where do I start on cheer pet peeves?
- The "Drama Queen" - every gym (and school, and workplace!) has one, and they tend to instigate so much cattiness and negativity in a group of people. You try pretty hard not to get sucked in but sometimes you have no choice but to defend yourself or someone else. Usually they'll either play the bully or the victim, and neither one of these roles is a good one. They generally have not a lot of nice things to say about anyone or anything.
- The "Tired One' - the conditions are never right for this person to train. They're either too tired, too sick, too sore, too busy, whatever. They never put 100% into training while everyone else is breaking a sweat on their behalf. They let the team down on so many occasions, and wonder why their skills aren't progressing.
- The 'Negative One' - these ones say "can't" A LOT. If you're not willing to look at something, whether it's a tumble or a stunt, with an open mind, and aren't even willing to try, then why are you here? These athletes, again, wonder why their skills aren't progressing.
Speaking as both an athlete and a by-stander I've seen coaches openly tell other athletes AND friends that a student won't last long at a new program. Personally this yr I know my one of my squads will be up against one of my previous squads. I tend to talk big but I'm a sportsmen so if we don't dominate then it's "hey congrats and well done. You looked amazing out there" I don't see why people have to be so stuck up about athletes and coaches changing gyms. life happens why hold it against someone. What peevs me off even more is when that athlete or coach improves at their new program and people say that it's not fine they never should have left ext ext ext
Sounds like you've had experience with the drama queen.
As for the negative one it's normally fear that has them saying I can't. Fear of hurting themselves, fear of not trusting someone enough or fear of being yelled at for not getting it perfect first time around or fear of not knowing how to do something and being expected to just be able to do it. I can't fly, i love my feet flat on the ground but that cause I don't like heights and I can't control what's going on, as a base I feel like I have that control.
That being said it's also skill level and what people feel their comfortable with. Personally when I've said I can't do something due to fear or skill level I've had people tell me to just throw it. Like that's going to help

Has this club made a big deal about u leaving!? Do u change gyms often? Have u competed in higher levels at the new gym?
It seems like u took wat krush-kara wrote personally... but i agree with wat she said.
But in regards to u being scared... "change/ greatness begins when you challenge your comfort zone"
