I’m kind of late to the party here but had the same thing to say as everyone else (let her keep the triangle, especially when training for a big event coming up). There is a reason she gravitated to it in the first place; look how well it fits in her game.
In terms of parental evolvement I think it’s great that you want to be involved. I know before you said you couldn’t train because of time and money and your daughters training was more important ext. ext. But I would *highly* recommend you training yourself if you want your coaching for your daughter to continue to be relevant in upcoming years. Feel free to drop in and train with us for free if you can make it one day
But seriously, train anywhere in anything grappling if you can.
By the way, if a lot of moves is what’s fun for her, then whatever is fun sounds ok to me. But if it isn’t, and it’s only about getting better, take inconsideration this: there is having a move in your game and having a trivial knowledge of a move. If you’re looking at moves and not given the time to incorporate it in her game before you move on to the next one, then you eliminate the chance to add another move to her game. Look at her roll; is everything she “knows” in “her game”? Of course not, I don’t think that’s true for anyone. Just food for thought.
Best of luck at the Pan Am’s
