My pet peeve is when a child comes to me and says My Mom wants to know if I can try 2 back handsprings tonight?
Hello!!! If the child was ready to try two back handsprings, they would be asked to try it by one of our coaches, immediately. This parent should know we want immediate success also, but safety is even more important than that. In that instance, we would be waiting for the moment when we can confidently say as coaches, that this child can try two back handsprings, and absolutely no way will she get hurt. If the child has not been asked to try to yet, it is because she is not ready, and we cannot guarantee safety on the skill. People just need to know there is a process to this, and they need to respect it. I always make sure a child is 100% confident with a skill on a soft mat before moving the skill to floor. They may look almost BORED with a skill before going to the next one. The boredom indicates there is no more fear!!! Fear = danger. Must kill fear before moving on. Every child learns at a different pace. Just because one student learned it in two weeks, it might take another chi
