Coaches Shoot off 1 1/2 on High Bar

[Xcel.diamond.26]

Hi everybody! So I have an athlete competing Xcel Diamond this year, but she doesn’t have a high bar dismount. Flyaways are terrifying for her and I would really rather not put her through that. So I found a straddle shoot off 1 1/2 twist as another “B” dismount. But she is having a hard time landing on her feet even out of a 1/1 twist. Any suggestions? Or if you have any videos of an athlete doing this skill so I can watch them and see what she should be doing please send them to “[email protected]”. Neither me or my head coach has ever seen this with a twist so we really don’t know how to improve it. Thank you!

Are you the athlete or the coach? Your posts say two different things

Why does it matter? I’m just trying to find answers from a wide variety of people.

Because as a forum with minor members, we are deeply suspicious of people who are clearly not truthful about who they are.

We welcome both coaches and athletes here; we do not welcome people who pretend to be somebody they are not.

Are you the coach or the athlete?

Anything other than a direct answer will result in a ban.

In this scenario, athlete. But I am also a coach. Please read my other reply for my full explanation
