For anyone who knows:
My DD has a habit of taking a moment to set her feet before doing her cartwheel. the setup doesn't always look so fluid, but when she does this, she stays on the beam.
I can only see so much at meets from where I sit (mandated to the opposite side of the gym, per her instructions), but she mentioned the other night that coach is getting on her case about the "stepping" before her cartwheel.
No, she doesn't take real steps, I think it's multiple placements of her foot before she feels she's "set" to do it.
She said that coach told her it's deductions.
If she re-places her foot a couple of times before moving forward with the cartwheel, does anyone know the deductions for this?
I looked at her level 4 videos, and all I see are "pointing front toe to beam, then placing the heel down, then doing the carthwheel". So I think these little re-placements are since falling off the beam and developing a huge beam fear. It's her fear-hesitation...
