My daughter is a 10 year old level 3 competing gymnast. She started the sport late, and at a recreational gym that didnt stress form heavily. We had our first meet last weekend, and while she was solid (no falls...got all skills) she scored lower than I would have hoped and was in bottom third of her division. She struggles with toe point and straight legs...just not super graceful in general. We have another meet this weekend. I'm curious if there is any one thing she could do or focus on in her routines that would help compensate in her scores. Even if it is not form related! I've heard sometimes just keeping chin up and a smile on their face helps in judges scoring routine higher. Any tips on how to sell those less graceful gymnasts routines in compulsaries??
