Sasha was not sure if he did want to deal with Payson. He knew it would be unfair and show favoritism if he did not enforce the rules of the Rock on Payson, but he couldn't just have her do more conditioning or run laps like everyone else. Payson lived for extra work and harder workouts. Mac shrugged off the Summer incident because as long as Keeler was not pregnant, it was none of his business. Sasha watched as Mac walked to where Payson and Becca were practicing. The sisters were doing ballet which seemed to intrigue Mac. Sasha went over to Kaylie and Jordan. He could think about a punishment later that would please Summer. He had gymnast to focus on right now. "Jordan, do you want to go start doing that double illusion on floor in the auxiliary gym then move on to doing it on the beam over the foam pit?" Sasha suggested. Jordan nodded and grabbed her water bottle before heading out back. Kaylie hopped down from the beam and approached Sasha. "Are we going to rework my beam?" she hinted with a sparkle in her eye. The British man nodded and looked the balance beam Kaylie was working on.
"Your going to change your mount to a Zamolodchikova. It is an E rated skill." Sasha started to explain as he picture Kaylie doing the mount in his mind. It was a round off into a full twisting flic flac followed by a back hip circle around beam. It was done by a Russian gymnast, and now he was having one of his Rock Rebels preform it. "That is all we are changing for now. I do not want to complicate your routine too much before London. I rather go to London with a slightly tweaked but clean routine than a routine that is completely new routine with a higher Degree of Difficulty done sloppily." Sasha elaborated. "Go to the pit and work on your round off into the flic flac." he added before dismissing her.
A Zamolodchikova? Only Yelena Zamolodchikova has preformed that. Kaylie thought as she walked towards the pit of foam blocks. She set up the springboard at the edge of the pit. To start, Kaylie just worked her back hand springs. She did not want to jump right into full move. Soon enough, assistant coach, Sarah, came over to help Kaylie out since the junior elites had left for the day. Sarah spotted Kaylie as she flipped over and over again into the soft spongy blocks. Every so often she would offer words of wisdom that remind Kaylie to keep her legs glue together or point her toes.
Payson demonstrated how to do a proper arabesque to Becca. Her sister stumbled as she struggled to keep balance like her older sister. Coach MacIntyre was watching closely, but he did not try to break the sisterly bond. "I find it helps you have better extensions." Payson commented as she released her pose. Becca did as well before heading to the locker room to change. Her day had ended already, but she loved learning ballet from Payson. As soon as Beccs walked away, Coach MacIntyre approached her with caution. "Do you want to take a five minute break and come talk with me?" he asked. Payson was not ready for a break, but it seemed he had something important to say. He led her out to the building and took a seat in the grass. Payson sat down next to him and allowed him to manipulate her leg as he motioned for her to prop it up on his lap. "I know Sasha probably plans on dealing with you later about this, but I thought you should at least know my opinion too." Mac started as he pointed and flexed her feet. Payson had no idea what he was talking about.
"Summer brought it up to us that she caught you kissing a boy when you came back from ballet. I have no intentions to butt into your personal life and tell you what you can and cannot do with boys." he continued. His hands were now massaging her calf muscles, so they would loosen up. "But I will say this, it does become my business if he abuses you or impregnates you. I will not tolerate men being jerks to my girls. I have worked enough with the men's gymnastics team to know how they act around females." MacIntyre's tone was serious, and he truly meant what he way saying.
"Now, Summer wants to see you pay the consequences for kissing the boy and breaking the no dating rule at the Rock. I do not see that you did anything wrong, so I am not going to punish you. Sasha Belov on the other hand may try to please her. Just to forewarn you." Mac finished. Payson sighed in relief as her legs were now loosened up. "Thanks." she simply returned for the stretch out and the message.
