Anyone have any issues with girls giving an attitude when you switch their formations - more specifically, their stunt groups? I had one ridiculously solid stunt group and one that was struggling, so I switched the flyers. Now both groups can hit, but the flyer who used to be on the better group is pissed off and making her new group feel terrible by crying and rolling her eyes at them. When I talked to her she said something along the lines of, "Well it's not my fault that they're bad but you're punishing me."
I already tried telling her it was a compliment because I trust her enough to fly on this less experienced group, and that it was in the best interest of the team, but she's definitely gotten very standoffish since the change. Just wondering if anyone had any tips on what else I could do.
The ironic thing is, and I mentioned this, that last year she was actually brought up from JV to Varsity. She flew on experienced bases who did the same thing to her (rolling their eyes, getting pissed that they had a flyer that was 'terrible', etc.), and the team constantly got down on her for not 'being on their level'.
She's a good kid and an amazing cheerleader, but this attitude is really putting a damper on her new group, and I can definitely tell it offends them. This is only my second year coaching this team so any tips and tricks would be appreciated - I coached younger kids beforehand and never had these issues!
