Parents Giants

[Scream4IceCream]

My daughter has picked up her giants pretty quickly, but sometimes she doesn’t quite get over without a tap from the coach and sometimes she loosens her body at the top instead of staying tight. Are there any drills or conditioning exercises she could do at home to help address this? Any other tips are welcome. (I know it’s normal, but she needs to show her consistency on them sooner rather than later - otherwise she’s going to have to repeat L6.) Thanks!

I think strap bar giants would be great practice because it’s a lot easier to make it over (so she can focus a lot on things like keeping her body tight) I think also she should maybe do a few with her coach where she tries to stay tight and squeeze as much as she can. I hope these help!

I'm thinking, from what you said, she's probably arching to pass over, instead of leading with the toes. So I'd work on doing giants to like 45 degrees, focusing on scooping and leading with the feet.

For at home probably back extension rolls focusing on staying hollow.
