[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Jade Carey, Chelsea Memmel, and Nastia Luikin would all say yes. [/quote] Chelsie Memmel was not coached by her dad until she was 16. Her parents sent her to another gym when she was 6 because they recognized she was incredibly talented and wanted to "just" be her parents, not her coaches. It wasn't until late 2004 (after a whole mess of an Olympic experience where she was named alternate, then told she'd be competing, then told "nope, sorry, back to alternate for you!" then repeat a couple more times) once Chellsie decided she wanted to continue gymnastics that she asked her dad to coach her. Andy initially said no. Chellsie really had to convince them that it was the right decision for everyone. Nastia Liukin, on the other hand.......not sure there's enough therapy to undo the damage Valeri did to her.[/quote]
