Make sure that when you are hurdling, you are leaning forward and not jumping up. You lose a lot of power by going straight up instead of forward.

RO BHS set/jump immediately to your back on a resi, and after that RO BHS BT to a higher surface. Ideally, you keep adding mats until you can do RO BHS BT with the BT landing up on the resi. Ask your coach, I'm sure they'd be willing to do drills with you.

Try and become a bigger rock .......Naw, just kidding. If you just got your back tuck, it's kinda being hard on yourself to compare it to everyone elses, unless y'all got it at the same time.

So give yourself a break, and a little more time. More time and working hard with your coach is the best, quickest, and safest way to improve.
