UGH...tell me about it. When you have a bad practice, that's one thing, but when you have a bad competition, that's a whole other ball of wax. I guess just looking at what went wrong and how to fix it is the BEST course of action. The blaming that goes on sometimes...jeesh. I saw a coach from another program SCREAMING at a little girl who was about 10 or 11 years old for falling in a stunt. How do you think her confidence will be the next time out. Bet you she was TERRIFIED.What I like to do is get them as soon as they get off the floor and talk to them about what happened. I take them through the routine chronologically and tell them everything that was good and has improved since the last comp... ex. Opening tumbling looked great, that basket was the best I've seen it, stunts- so-and-so's group lost a tick tock but recovered for the fullup what happened there, guys? etc etc... I find that by talking about it in sections and hearing their feedback as well as mine gets them to think less about the small problems and more about the big picture.
They (my small senior team) had a bad day this weekend- 2 stunt falls and lost to a team that we beat by quite a bit a month ago... without the falls, we would have won out of both the small and large divisions for our level.... and the point difference was a .06 UGH
I wanted to make sure they knew I was still proud of them, competing 2 new stunts, and improving in other areas of the scoresheet, and that they would be able to return to practice this week with a positive focus on what needs to be done. I find that just leveling with them and talking about things in an honest, but positive way has been the most helpful!

OK.... Am I the only one who loves , "a few wee bounces"? I am so going to Scotland!If i personally don't hit a stunt or nail that skill in a basket, i get frustrated with myself but i take a breather and think why i am here and give my self an aim! My aim was always for competitions but its now for Worlds competing with Team Scotland. I put a smile on my face and say come on guys we got this!! do a few wee bounces and THINK POSTIVE!!!! picture myself and my groups nailing that stunt or skill perfect! then do it
