My daughter is on preteam and seems to be struggling to get her kicks (on tiptoe, holding onto the beam behind her, kicking straight forward/up) and her back t-scales high enough. Her coach has been getting on her about it and it's causing her a lot of frustration.
She is extraordinarily flexible, and is in the middle of her group strength-wise, but her t scales in particular are pretty low. I asked her if she wanted a private lesson to try to get a better feel for what she should be doing, but she said she wanted to try exercises at home first.
Is there anything she can do at home that will help her get her leg higher? I feel like something is not clicking for her.
Interestingly, she told me her side kicks were fine.
