Silly question - I know the answer will likely be practice and time, but in case there' miay be something in addition to that...
So after my DD's most recent meet (she just turned 7, just finished competing silver/lvl3) she got in the high 8's for floor and beam. To my untrained eye, I didn't see much wrong with her routines and kids with frank falls were outscoring her. We asked her coach about it afterwards and they showed us her deductions from the judges. On floor, she lost .7 for not pointing her toes in her leap series, turn, backwards rolls etc. She pointed them in her handstand, BHS and BWO though.
Even when the coaches are telling her to point AS she's doing it, she still can't seem to make it happen readily. She said that it is particularly tough for her with leaps.
I know that some of this will just come with age, but are there any drills, etc to help enforce the immediate action to point?
