@bigbangmike: #stitch with @Dillon Taitano teaching kids is a process of “turning them” into an athlete. Its more than just whats comforting right now.

Maya Galindo :

Anytime a coach has made me “push through the pain” I have gotten a permanent injury from it and am still dealing with it

QuintinGell :

i also love that he didn’t change the plan until the kid had landed safely. he kept him safe and only adjusted when he was on solid footing

Thordan Ssoa :

I have a lingering back injury from trying to push myself when I was in the wrong headspace 15 years ago. I needed a coach like that back then

Brittany P|TwinMomma :

had a "get over it coach" for varsity tennis. if you vomited after running or playing in the heat, he would say it was the 'weakness' leaving you

mbaut2099 :

not just that, you can also train them to Know their bodies and selves better then Anyone can say

Scotty.McM :

Honestly it seems like he was coming from a genuine place eof care too

NikFriel :

As someone who has done multiple forms of tumbling I’ve had coaches who’ve forced me to keep going and ones who forced me to take a break, I definitely got more injured with one type over the other

Creature #8136 :

Thank you for explaining.

grace 💗 :

i was in gymnastics when i was like 10 and the coach pushed me further into my split despite me saying stop & it really HURT and i’ll never forget it

funky town express :

my RECREATIONAL swimming coaches made me “push through” what turned out to be a bone deformity 😭

The Koog :

I remember being upset about a family member passing and was playing soccer recklessly and my coach just said I’m done for the night. I was upset but he let me know he won’t let me play if I’m upset

mmmmwhatchasaaay :

if this is a one on one session, then take 5 and ask what's up. maybe he is done for the day, but it's important for the kid And the coach to know why

cwoody_00 :

It’s also good because sometimes that’s all you’ve got in a session, and rest is important

Cæsseia⁷🏳️‍🌈🇮🇷🍉🇺🇦 :

I train horses. Headspace is everything. It can literally be life or death for both you and horse

Lena McClure :

I'm an equestrian. unless there's a job that had to get done, if I go to ride and I feel off I find a simple good stopping point and call it a day

hannah | lifestyle ugc :

I’m a swim teacher is this is exactly the reason why I check in with my kids so often. I can’t have you out of it if we’re doing flips & dives

Lun :

I had a conditioning coach that took pride in getting us to throw up and then keep pushing. I have lasting injuries from pushing too hard every week

Wyatt🏔️🎣🇺🇸 :

Matti :

i was in so much pain when i quit my sport because my coaches never listened to me

emzoorr :

not my parents forcing me to play my bsktbll game with a kidney infection

Catie LewWho :

I had a swim coach who took pride in making the athletes work til they barfed. I never felt comfortable telling him I didn't feel good. he was terrify

Edwin Garcia :

“We’re donezo” 😂😂😂

blu :

as a kid in swim we swapped coaches between years, one was pretty lax because this wasn't a really competitive team, and the next coach was a former

amandawilkinsmusic :

100% 👏🏼 I’m B a music and theatre teacher/coach. If my kiddos don’t feel it, I give them the lesson off or listen while they talk/vent ♥️
