Hi there. My daughter's arms are constantly not at her ears. She has great form, and gets great scores, but as she is training harder skills (currently is a level 6) she is having a hard time--ie--her back tuck has gotten low and long as she puts her arms close to her chest as if she is protecting herself. On simpler skills like a back handspring her arms end not at her ears but rather out at about 45 degrees. I thought this was a form/aesthetic issue but now see that it is affecting her front handspring, back tuck etc. Her coach was working the beginnings of a double back on the trampoline today but stopped as her arms were such a problem. Any suggestions??? She says she is focusing on keeping her arms up but it isn't happening. She just turned 9 years old.
Thanks for any input.
