3. “ i’m sorry but if biles is out then she needs to be OUT. no more of this “evaluated daily” bs. either it’s bad enough to keep you out of competition, or it isn’t. pick one. “

@russiangymstan on twitter linked me to this interview and I’m 😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️ I love this coach

“What’s the hardest part of the job? To learn how to separate between the carrot and the stick. It’s very important. Many don’t understand it, don’t feel where the border is. They think that if you will raise a child with strictness, she’ll learn faster. That’s not true. Of course, you can’t allow the pupils to push you around all the time. But when they grow up, the constant pressure is not needed either. In gymnastics, like in any other sport, you have to have both the carrot and the stick. But the carrot is often under appreciated. And if you don’t have the carrot, then no one ever will be able to deal with the girl who you have to force to work. It’s incredibly hard work, after all. To get up in the morning and to train for 8 hours a day without a carrot – that’s impossible. So what if the training isn’t going well, it happens. or the kid just got tired. Perhaps, it’s better not to insist on the repetitions and just give her that carrot, say: “Go, take a walk!” Let her rest, perhaps, she’ll forget about gymnastics. But then she’ll come back on her own and will understand that she’s the one who needs it, and not the country, the coach, or the club.”
