Hi! I have a gymnast who is 10 years old, progressing very quickly! Progression is always fantastic however her back uprise form is horrendous. When she keeps her legs straight she doesn’t make the back uprise, and I’m not sure how to fix this. I’m considering teaching her to straddle back; but I’m not sure how to teach this. Any advice is very very appreciated!!

Hi everyone! I’m hoping to get some help understanding my deductions on beam. I’ve been watching my videos back, but I’m having trouble figuring out exactly where the judges are taking the most off. If anyone is willing to take a look and give me some feedback, I’d really appreciate it. I’m especially curious about execution deductions, rhythm/connection issues, and anything in my acro or dance that might be costing me. The judge started me at a 10 for this routine, and I got a 9.1
