abbyandy9 I understand not wanting to add in passes for a tumbler that doesn't always tumble, but understanding individual situations and being supportive is where I may be different. I have an off and on mental block case on my youth 2 this year. It shows up then goes away within days of each other--some days shes 100%, others only 50%, others we get nothin'. But we choose to leave her tumbling in bc she is still pushing for it and working hard.
I don't always pretend to know the answers or even understand other coaches reasons for the way they do things, but what works for me is not making a big deal of the block and just continuing to practice as if things were normal. Takes the pressure off a lot IMO.
Yes that makes sense! I understand that it would be very frustrating as a coach to deal with mental blocks, but I can't understand them just giving up on her. They wouldn't even let her coach even after the head tumbling coach went to them and asked them to let her coach with him. That's probably why my daughter is in college now and has no relationship with the coach--even after being with her for 11 years. So sad.
