GYMNASTICS TRIAD
Below is an overview of the Athlete/Coach/Parent Triad. This relationship is an exercise in compromise, communication and discipline. The athlete must always remain at the top of the pyramid.
The Athlete
First and foremost, the athlete is essential or we would not exist. The athlete must have the desire to train the sport, the dedication to face and overcome both mental and physical obstacles. The athlete is on the team to learn from their coaches, from their teammate and from themselves. The athletes must make mistakes, make corrections and drive themselves beyond their perceived limits.
The Coach
The coach is a mentor and a guide. The coach plans the training and competitive cycle for every athlete on the team. The coach leads by example. The coach is not always right and sometimes makes mistakes. The coach is constantly learning and striving to find new ways to teach, motivate, inspire and drive their athletes to the next level of performance.
The Parent
The parent supports the athlete, the coach and the team. The parent is a spectator, allowing the athlete and the coach to perform their roles. The parent is a role model for the athlete, demonstrating disciplined behavior, showing respect and performing their duties to the highest level. The parent is an advocate for their athlete, but does so in an appropriate manner. The parent provides balance, encouragement, love and support.
