    Could this be used in a beam routine?

    I made a video with one of the junior coaches who made up a routine for me. She kind of skipped through the cartwheel so I'm not sure if this was a quick skip or she actually wanted me to use this in the routine.. She had one leg straight and one leg up in the air, very vertical, and her hands...

    Keeping feet in line with the beam in the cartwheel

    Hand placement on beam - BHS and BWO

    I have pretty much always seen the BWO done with the 'thumbs together, fingers round placement. And the BHS done with one hand behind the other. In coaching girls age 6-8, their coach is telling them to do the BWO with the BHS placement. Why might this be? Is it to get them used to it? Also...

    Which is harder: the transition from bwo bhs to bhs bhs or from bhs bhs to bhs layout? This question is for anyone . . . you can answer about yourself, teammates, gymnasts you coach, or your daughter. Thank you! :)
