Women front handspring vault

[Yuenling]

I was watching my daughter's vault drill, and the coach put up a big wedge in front of the vault which she was supposed to pass in her pre-flight. This caused her pre-flight to be too high and her shoulder angle was still closed when she was at vertical.

Can someone explain what the purpose of this drill is? Is there a benefit to being able to get up high in the pre-flight?

She is probably dropping her chest in the hurdle and the board. It's just a drill

My dd coach just started this as well. All of the older girls mom's mentioned that it had helped their girls vault a lot when they were working on it. A lot of our girls are going into the vault a little bit piked and it's supposed to open them up. It has helped my dd.

This is a drill to get her to change her body position between the board and the vault.. If her shoulder angle is still not open even with the drill, these he needs to keep working on it.
