I have one gymnast- Xcel Bronze (she has about a level 3 skill level) who is struggling with ro-bhs, particularly a very high bhs- at our meet on Saturday she barely skimmed the floor with her fingertips. We have gone back to spotted standing bhs and drills, but as soon as we put it back together the same problems reappear. We've gotten to the point where going high is no longer a problem for her standing bhs, but adding the ro changes everything.
She is incredibly strong and quick which is an asset in places but also a hindrance as she has a tendency to muscle through skills and think all is well if she lands on her feet. She also struggles with feeling body shapes- I pause her in the correct shape, then the incorrect shape and she just cannot tell the difference.
Looking for any additional drills or tips that might help.
I have 1 other that struggles a bit with her ro-bhs, but she is slow twitch and I think just needs some more time and drills. But any general drills to help clean up ro-bhs would be greatly appreciated!
