i have coached at three different gyms in the past 2 years (two of them i coached at concurrently, because they didnt mind, since they are 35 minutes apart). anyways, i noticed they coach different skills different ways, and im wondering, "is this the correct way or is the other way correct?" and its driving me nuts. here are some that i can think of off the top of my head:
FLOOR
-------
handstand forward roll- bent or straight arms during the roll? or are they two different skills?
back extension roll- do you quickly scoot your butt back and get into a pike before you roll, or is that the wrong way?
BARS
------
pullover- do a pull up, then bring legs over the bar, ankles together the entire time? or start standing with one leg in front, and swing that leg up, THEN meet the legs/ankles together?
*do you teach kids to cast off the bar after a skill, or do you teach them to dismount by doing a "forward roll to pull up"?
BEAM
------
forward roll- start from a squat or a lunge?
