What do you do for a kid who struggles with jumping to the HB? I have a girl, about 5'1- so not much of a jump- who does an ugly tucked jump/fall/frog leg thing to the HB which makes it incredibly difficult for her to make her long hang pullover (does not yet have a kip) as she does a tucked swing instead of tapping. I feel like we are at a bit of a standstill as she is really struggling and getting upset with herself. Hoping for some tips on how to help her work through this. Thanks!
Have her do lots of practice squat on/jump offs from a low bar, focusing on keeping her feet in front of her body. Also try working these jumps into the pit (even jumping off a mat or a folded up wedge works) with a coach holding a foam noodle out for her to practice "grabbing" with a straight body. Also, does the jump scare her at all? Usually it is my girls that are a bit afraid of the jump-across that end up doing the bent-legged thing for a long time (why, I don't know. As if scrunching your legs helps you jump easier...).
