    Coaches Why choose harder "A" skills over easier "A" skills?

    I know this is obvious to most coaches, but I'm new to developing Xcel routines and was wondering: Given that they just need some amount of "A" skills, what is the benefit of adding harder "A" skills if they all count for the same points and the harder skills just have more opportunity to have...
