Coach Laura would love some feedback on an old issue?
Is it ethically and psychologically appropriate to assign physical conditioning as a penalty for minor rules infraction in the gym?
For example:
… sit-ups for running across the floor while someone is tumbling, 50 push-ups for forgetting to put away hand grips (for a level 6-7) …
She’s talking about competitive gymnasts. (For Recreation kids best is a time out / inactivity penalty.)
Here’s gymnast Luke Boyd updating the tally of rope climbs he “owes” coach Rhett Stinson.
