I'm xcel gold, hoping to be platinum next season. I'm pretty close on most events to platinum, but I'm most worried about my vault. I do a front handspring on, but I pike over a ton. In meets I'm getting mid to low eights. One of my teammates pointed out that I'm already piking on the board, and my coaches have said I need to go higher, and block. I'm having a really hard time figuring out how to fix those things, and I'm still really piking and can't seem to fix it. Some of it is that I have a hard time with my stepping, wanting to start farther back, but I'm already against the wall and can't go any farther. My gym doesn't really do drills, and I joined the team/gymnastics later, and I missed a lot of the progression stuff by skipping pre-team. Any tips? Drills I can do on my own? Extra conditioning? I really want to get better at this, so I can score better, and move up to platinum. I would show a video, but my parents don't like that for privacy reasons. Any help would be appreciated!
