Parents Pullover struggles

[PurpleButterfly]

Please share stories of your gymnast who struggled with pullovers in a JO team environment but still went on to be successful at higher levels. (Or that it’s not possible. either way)

My daughter has struggled with her pullover - the other girls on her team have these beautiful straight leg pullovers and she just can’t seem to get there. We’ve been at it a year now, conditioning at home, practicing at home and just now have worked the jump out of it, but still not there yet. I’m trying to keep encouraging her but I can tell she’s getting discouraged and with competition season in August, I’m worried.

Age would help.... under fives usually have massive heads in comparison to their body which makes it harder to do the second half.

How long can she hang in a chin up position

How long can she hold a pike/L hang.

She is 7! She can do 10 second chin up and 5 second L hang. I’m wondering if at this point it’s a mental thing and not a strength thing? Because she has the other events nailed.
