It is almost necessary to put your feet one behind the other at least slightly on back tucks and round offs. Otherwise it will be very easy for you to split the beam. They don't need to be completely one behind the other, but you big toe could be in line with the middle of your other foot.
Some...
I did it a few years ago with a cast on my wrist. Just floor and beam.. Modified so that I only had round off with one arm into saltos and front tumbling. I think the hardest tumble I did was a 2 1/2 twist backwards.
Beam was pretty easy to modify, apart from the bit where you have to go down to...
I think it works well. I found that racing is easy (or relativley easy) because of the fitness and agility that a lot of skiers lack- at least compared to gymnasts.
I'm looking to get a new pair, and I usually go for reisport. However, they tend to not last me very long- usually about 4 months, which is a bit annoying because I have to keep wasting time working new ones in. I know reisport does double leather ones, but I'm not sure I want to risk buying...
Because you said it doesn't hurt at all sometimes and hasn't swelled it might something in the wrong place. Like I have something in my ankle that occasionally makes it so painful to even walk that I can and then if I move it it clicks a couple times and goes. Apparently it's a bone fragment but...
I think my level 4 team had about 25-30 girls and that was around 2006 or 07. With a couple years till graduation, only 2 of the girls are still doing gym :( Most of them quit around the time when they reached the beginnings of optionals or high school.
I think they mean a drive with the heels not shoulders. Normally you front giant by *pulling your shoulders* over the bar, and then your heels. A Chinese tap involves keeping shoulders open the whole time and leading with the heels.
To cry, and she is a professional elite!
I think your daughter will learn to handle these situations. When she has a couple more dozen meets under her belt she will be able to make a mistake and simply forget about it.
It's really hard to not do well when everyone was counting on you to. I had a meet where I was in 1st place by a few point through the first three rotations. Last rotation was bars and I went and fell 3 times, and 2 of the skills I fell on didn't even count. I ended up with a 6.Something (FIG...
Mine are like that too. 1 is very thin and about an inch longer than the other(think it's time to get new ones ;) ). I've never had a pair that had 2 grips that looked the same... So I think it's normal, but once they look completely different it is time for a new pair.
I'm looking for suggestions for some good snacks/small meals that are healthy, high in protein(not all have to be), and also vegetarian. There's a lot of posts about snacks during gym, but not much on food during the day. I tend to get hungry a lot, and it seems to be hard to find healthy food...
