i don't think it's unreasonable to expect someone who comes in as a mini level 1 to advance to level five within five years. i think that's smart business. children will rise to the occasion or standards that they are presented with. it's motivation.
if/when i have CPs and i pay thousands of dollars a year and see no improvement (not just in level, but if they're still doing the same stunts, tumbling, etc), i'm going to be upset. i think i have a right to be.
it does not mean your child is a "failure" if they don't progress past a bhs or whatever. i do not think courtney meant to claim that the athletes themselves were failures. i think that she was referring to herself feeling like a failure because she could not coach the athletes to advance.
