Something that REALLY bothers me:
-Team competes a semi-alright routine all year and gets a worlds bid.
-Right when the routine starts looking clean, coach decides that they dont like the routine anymore, and calls in choreographer to completely change the routine, mixes new music and buys new uniforms.
-Coach lets team "show off new routine, expecting it to be worlds perfect, and kids look like a HOT MESS on the floor.
-Coach STORMS OFF FLOOR in a raging fury and blames the kids for being "out of shape."
(Seriously watched coaches stop the music right in the middle of the routine and scream for them to "get off the floor, you dont deserve to be there".)
Every injury I have seen these past couple of weeks has happened in a worlds team showoff.
Dont get me wrong, change is good. But changing your entire routine and skills difficulty drastically a month before worlds and expecting your kids to be able to be perfect is NOT FAIR and NOT SAFE.
I understand you want to go to win, but putting that much pressure on kids 3 weeks before the biggest weekend of there life's is not the right way to handle it.
TAKE A BC POWDER, OR TYLENOL TO BRING DOWN THAT WORLDS FEVER A BIT.
