Hi all!
My daughter is an (AU) level 4 and is learning her Kip. She is super strong, one of the strongest in the levels program at her gym (and I do not say this as a bias parent but rather been told/seen for myself). She is struggling to get her Kip and has started to practice at home on our little bar. I do not want her to push this and then end up with bad form but she is so determined and she asks me for help but I am not a coach so I do not know how to help her. It SEEMS as though she loses it at the point after her feet pike to the bar and then she just drops herself off once she tries to pull up and can't. There are girls in her group that already have theirs and they are not as strong so I am not sure what is holding her back. From videos I have watched those who have just learned it are often forcing themselves up at the end whereas she just drops herself off the bar when she can't get it so it seems like that part is all about strength but she gives up and doesn't keep pulling?
Any tips on how I can help her or do I try to discourage her from practicing at home at all?
