Help!! Can't land the back tuck

[Txgirl]

This is year 2 of my daughter trying to land her back tuck and she just can't seem to land it. What can she do?

She can talk to her coach.

She has been doing privates with her coaches and still same issue. She doesn't know exactly what she's doing wrong that she's not landing.

I would go with what her coach says. What does the coach tell her to do?

 

[Txgirl]

She says its the way she sets but that she has fixed it. But still doesn't land it. There's times she does, barely, but for the most part, doesn't land it.

Hard to be certain from a set of still frames, but here's my best guess:

1) She's not hitting full extension on takeoff. The knees, ankles, and shoulders should hit full extension right in the moment she leaves the floor; of the shots you've shared, none show this exact moment so it's hard to be sure, but extrapolating from what I can see I would hazard a guess that if we got a shot of her right as she leaves the floor, her knees and hips would still be bent and her arms would not be fully extended over her head.

2) She doesn't have sufficient strength in the core and lower body. Now, I should clarify this one a bit: takeoff technique and strength can decently cover for each other's deficiencies. An extremely efficient takeoff can make up for shortcomings in strength, and a lot of strength can make up for shortcomings in takeoff technique; however, there is still a bare minimum level of strength required, and the less efficient the takeoff, the higher that minimum is.

But none of this can effectively be trained at home, imo, and if anything her coach is saying goes against anything I'm saying, it's safest to assume her coach is right and I am wrong

I tried uploading video but it doesn't let me
But thanks for the advice. Thankfully she is still able to go to the gym 3 days a week. But we will work on strengthening core and legs at home. Thank you again and stay safe!
