I’ve tried to find other threads on this, but my search has been unsuccessful. I’m a high school gymnast, btw.
Whenever I do jumps, I drop my chest A LOT. Especially in straddles and pikes. When I do a pike jump, my chest practically touches my knees. When I’m doing jumps I think about looking forward and trying to keep my chest up but I physically can’t. I’ve added a picture of me doing a straddle jump. It’s a little bit harder to tell from the front but it’s obvious that my chest is really low.
(Also I know this was kind of a bad jump, my knees were bent a little and my arms were positioned oddly).
I really don’t know how to fix this and I hate doing jumps because then everyone else sees how bad they are.

Beam deductions

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
