I was spending a bit of time yesterday stalking some athletes at my kids former gym and checking out the team placements for those kids. The gym is currently the most competitive in our community. I noticed more than a handful of athletes with solid L4 skills being placed on L3 teams because they simply cannot field a competitive L4 team at this time. I suspect in a more competitive community that at least some of those kids would be gone to another gym that would allow them to compete the skills they have mastered. Some here would throw shade toward that new gym that they are profiting from skills that athletes learned at smaller gyms. What strategies can these smaller gyms use to retain that talent? Alienating those athletes is certainly not productive.
