@LouiseMcColgan@Gymnasts4Change You have so much to look forward to, fabulous job coaching in the sport you love & trying to make a difference for your gymnasts, back actually enjoying training & university to look forward to this year. We love the beautiful, strong, courageous, determined young lady you are.
@LouiseMcColgan@Gymnasts4Change being made feel worthless doesn’t bring success, it only results in the poor mental & physical health of our sons and daughters & coaches should be held accountable for their actions.
@LouiseMcColgan@Gymnasts4Change I’m sorry 😢 that as your mum I did not see how this was effecting you when you were younger & do something sooner to put an end to it for you.
As parents of elite gymnasts we put our full trust in high performance coaches & the process but Manipulating/bullying
@LouiseMcColgan@Gymnasts4Change It has taken a lot of strength & courage for you to speak out. We are immensely proud of you for opening up, it has effected you emotionally & mentally all over again in the last few years but this has allowed you to gain control over what happened & you have some closure now.
Gymnastics is more than just a sport. Gymnasts are more than just gymnasts. Coaches should be more than just coaches. Empathy, emotion, compassion, belief, care and respect on all levels. #lifers@brinnbevan
