Cecile Landi's Difficulty Calibration aka the Simone Effect

"I never thought I'd see a double double off beam...never." This is just one of the comments coach, Cecile Landi, makes when asked, "Is your calibration of difficulty skewed?" See how coaching the gymnast with the highest difficulty ever can change the perceived limit of what the body can do.

Simone might not see it but her coaches are why she choked. Aimee knew to put her best foot out there. She already had more difficulty than anyone else. If these coaches had not put stupid idea's in her head adding insane difficulty she never would have lost the grip on her nerves. I don't know why anyone celebrates this woman and her husband who was accused of slapping a gymnast like they are some kind of saints. If Simone comes back I hope she talks Aimee into coaching her. These two have fame in their eyes.

I have heard the rumors about these two for years. I too am surprised safe sport hasn't looked into them. I also totally agree with you about them turning Simone into mush. She doesn't see it. Maybe she will someday.
