Hi, so I did post a while back about round offs hurting my achilles tendon however I have come to a new problem with them. My right foot (my good foot) which lands in front of my roundoff on beam has been hurting like CRAZY!! at first on my heel there was a bluish bump which started appearing after doing round offs one day on beam. this bump persisted hurting for a week straight so i would just ice it and it would stop hurting till it got inflamed from doing round offs on beam today. so today, i do round offs and that bump is gone, and a new one appear on my inner heel area and i am having the same issue. hurts-ice-fine till i come back to do roundoffs on beam. but the problem is—i can never stick my roundoffs with an aching heel. my body just won’t allow it. my coach said it’s likely from my chest being down when i land and my front foot must be taking the hit however, i feel like i am getting my chest up the best i can. i don’t know what to do anymore, i also land flat footed, am i supposed to be landing on my toes? please help and maybe what are some drills that could help for getting my chest up so my foot will not cause me any more issues.
