I think if she were sent to the “right” coach her joy would absolutely be squelched.
Moonvine unfortunately you are right. It could happen with wrong choices.. Natural positivity and sense of joy can be fragile things but I think these characteristics are innate in Alysa's personality.
Fingers crossed the right decisions are made in her future training going forward tho she seems to have a strong sense of self, knows what works for her and can assert herself even at her young age. She is a National treasure!
