Hay all you moms it is easy to but blam on the flyer, base, spot, short, tall, my daughter her daughter ect. Let the coaches coach and find the problem or better yet lets see you try it. Keep the peace sit back and relaxxxxx.
I get so tired of reading these posts where the writer tries to take what was a legitimate concern and make it out like the original poster (and those after) were under the "crazy diva mom" syndrome. I'm not saying those moms aren't out there, but that doesn't mean every mom is one.
In the original post and the responses the problem was their child was coming home in tears because of the situation, not the other way around. Sometimes we need to understand that our kids just want to use us as their crying/complaining board. They don't want us to fix anything, they just want us to listen to them because they realize yelling at the coaches and their teammates isn't going to solve anything.
Tamra I agree with you. I just put the Relaxxxxx relpy up to chill out the diva moms. I know my daughter comes to me at times crying and complaining and in the end she just needs to let the stress of the practice out to mommy and a big hug and a listening ear is all that is needed at that time. It seems that when teams bring it to the floor it always works. Remember relaxxxxx and breath.
Here's my advice: Ask a coach to spend some time with just your stunt group. Go through the stunt sequence step by step by step. Make sure that each person knows EXACTLY what is supposed to happen at each count. Make sure that all the bases know EXACTLY where their hands and feet are supposed to be (down to the fingers and toes). Make sure that the flyer knows EXACTLY how her feet, legs, arms, etc. are supposed to move.
If you do this, everyone will know what issue needs to be resolved.
There is no room for blame...just options, clear direction and results.
