I've watched it but . . . as the mother of a twelve year old I would NEVER allow anyone to talk to her the way Abby talks to the dancers. I'd also never allow myself to be talked to that way. That being said, she sure gets results.
I went to school with a girl who was being trained as an Olympic gymnast. She had a love/hate relationship with the training. She was doing some flips at a football game and broke her leg. As they carried her out on a stretcher she was laughing and saying "I don't have to go to practice." over and over. Sometimes I think it's the
unfulfilled dreams of the mother that keep the push going.
