Can someone please take a look at my daughter Alexis doing a back handspring and give me any advice you can give. Here's a video.
She currently takes tumbling classes, takes private tumbling lessons, and does competitive cheer. She self taught herself a back handspring two years ago and we haven't been able to fix it since. They way she is doing it is so ingrained into her head neither I or her coaches have been to get her to fix it.
She can do handstands, walking handstands (just a few steps), bridges, back walkovers, and front walkers. We've done countless drills for the back handsprings and she can do the drills very well individually but when she puts it together it ends up looking like the video.
She's at the point where she's ready to give up and breaks down in tears after everytime she practices it because she knows its not right and she can't make herself fix it.
Please let me know if you have advice for her or some magic you can offer. I would truly and greatly appreciate it.
Thank you so much for your time.
