Hello All,
Looking for some suggestions for my daughter on fixing an issue she has had for quite some time with her back handspring. When she lands on her hands for her back handspring her shoulders are open and arms straight but she immediately bends her elbows before pushing off her hands to initiate the snap down. She is very frustrated as she is trying so hard to keep her shoulders open and not bend her elbows but it's become a bad habit that she hasn't been able to break. She's been working on them on an incline mat to see if that helps too but I would love to hear some drill suggestions or technique suggestions that would help her fix this issue. Thanks so much in advance. Here is a link to a video with her back handspring.
