"With Great Power ...

... Comes Great Responsibility."

If this is true for SpiderMan, is it for you ?

Is it true for a gymnastic owner ?

Not a surprise, on Maui, we have only one gym.

The overall quality of that gym has been proved to be very questionable over the last couple of years. Health issues, Dangerous from some regards, questionable coaching.

Litt' Mo Loves Gym. That's her life.

But because there is only one place on the island, your typical official capitalism balancing process fails greatly - "if it sucks, goes elsewhere".

Those principles do not survive local monopoly. 

Free market only survive if it is free.

Now that we have created monsters, Sir Frankenstein, what do we do ?

Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Wallstreet, Monsanto, anyone I am forgetting ?

One point of the debate is that the owner of the gym itself supposedly funded the gym to be able to coach. 

It is obvious that with the liability she represent on the floor, if she was not the owner, she would have been fired of any respectable gym.

Coaching under influence should be as - if not more - penalized than driving under influence.

Gymnastic is a dangerous sport.

What could be worst to end up with your kid in a wheelchair ?

And because it is **that** dangerous, coaches need to be above (and beyond) your typical standard.

They are literally the only step between being great or being hurt - or worst.

Typical Disclaimer

Now, it is true that funding and operating a gym in a any place or town could be a challenging exercise. Expensive, complicated. I don't really know. Certainly.

But that do not give you rights to risk to screw a kid's life.

On the opposite.

Our local community granted you the power of teaching and educating its kids, our kids.

More than anyone else, you are now entitled to be and act above and beyond anyone standards.

Sunset are free on the island. And safe.

And this is not about competing in the Olympics, States or not at all.

Athleticism is a state of mind. 

This is about being role models, and raising kids with meaningful and healthy values.

Values - sadly- that are increasingly hard to find nowadays.

I should say, impossible to find.
