    My daughter keeps being told that she needs to reach more, both in her back hand springs on floor and vault. She isn’t quite sure what they mean and anything her coach says isn’t clicking. Any suggestions?

    round off handspring tuck

    Hello, I am a 17-year-old boy. I dance and am doing a proud off handspring tuck in my show. I did gymnastics when I was young and cheer more recently. I used to be able to do this, but I always had trouble with undercutting my springs and looking back on tucks. Any help would be appreciated. Video
