Women Back tuck off the beam needs improvement!

[ThatOneGymnastOverThere]

I have my back tuck off the beam as my dismount, but it is long and not very high. When I jumped upwards in the past, I hit my head on the beam.
How do I improve my back tuck?

do you have a video maybe?

If you're hitting your head on the beam - that's telling me you're throwing your hips forward or buckling your ankles/knees. Engage your core and block your arms at the top of your set.

Talk with your coach about doing some drills to help with your technique, esp. your setting.

You really need to spend more time with your coaches.
