If she could travel back in time

from gymnastics after being accused of berating and
mistreating her athletes, including an Olympic champion,
Maggie Haney says she would change the way she coached.
She wouldn’t push some of her young gymnasts to redo a
routine again and again after even the
Newport
Pleasure tiniest mistakes. To demand their focus,
she wouldn’t yell at them. Instead she would learn to
let some imperfections slide.
“I think my mistakes were that I cared too much, and
wanted them to be a little too perfect every day, when
maybe that’s not possible, ” Haney, one of the most
prominent coaches in the sport, said this month in an
interview with The New York Times, the first time she has
spoken publicly in nearly a year. “Maybe what used to be
OK is not OK anymore, and maybe it shouldn’t be. I think
maybe the culture has shifted. ”
Haney has not coached at her gym in central New Jersey or
anywhere else since February, she said, when USA
Gymnastics, the sport’s national federation, temporarily
suspended her before later barring her

Box from coaching for eight years for what it
called her “severe aggressive behavior” toward her
athletes. She said she hasn’t even coached her own
daughter, who is 11.
The athletes who have trained under Haney include Laurie
Hernandez, who won a silver medal on the balance beam at
the 2016 Olympics and helped the United States win the
team gold medal.
Hernandez’s complaint to the federation was one of
nearly a dozen that led to Haney’s ban, which she is
appealing to an arbitrator. It was considered the
harshest penalty for emotional and verbal abuse in the
sport’s recent history.
