Should I Ask My Coach?

[Tess (:]

Okay so I posted something about being a flyer on the Skills forum:
(http://fierceboard.com/threads/flying.15400/#post-354419 here's the link about my flexibility and all that good stuff)
I really want to fly, but I'm not sure how to ask my coach. I don't want to seem like I'm not happy with where I am, but I would at least like to learn how to fly. Thaanks

i think that you should ask him/her. if you never ask, you will probably never learn. but dont be dissapointed if your coach says no because only 1 in 4 in the stunt group can do it. you should definately try new thingss! good luck.!

I am a college coach and you should speak up!!! We can not read your mind. ;-) best of luck on the way up.

DO IT! Coaches cant read minds do it!

Anything you want, ask for it. If you ask, you might not get it, but if you never ask, you definitely won't get it!

Yeah what she said lol

Just ask in a polite and respectful way (no whining) You're coach might appreciate the fact you're willing to try something new

It can't hurt to ask!

 

[Alicia Blough]

like i tell my girls, what the worst he/she can say? No. then whats the harm in asking, go for it!!

 

[werk-meowt]

be assertive& ask them, worse case scenario it doesnt work out, at least you tried!

 

[marissa.d]

definitely ask, and like everyone else says - all they can do is say no and you know you tried!
if your gym has stunt clinics/flyer clinics you could also sign up for one of those! just to get your feel for flying

 

[ellie]

i would ask because if they say yes than great and if not at least you tried!

 

[CF1erce]

I would show my interest by getting in a flyer class or taking a few stunt privates. If you have guys at the gym who are just learning to stunt, most wouldn't mind having someone to practice with. And stretch, stretch, STRETCH! As a coach, when i'm evaluating athletes for flying positions, best flexibility and body control always trumps size.The added flexibility will improve your jumps and tumbling as well. Good luck!!

just say: i was curious if i could try flying! i really would like to try it! is that possible? but ask while your stunting or your coach may get mad!
