They always say a Front Dive Roll is a Progression into a Front Flip Tuck. I don't get it. What are the similarities? What parts are alike? I can do a Front Dive Roll, but not a Front Tuck flip yet.

I tend to think of it more as a mental progression than a physical one. Surely a dive roll often does not reach the same height or speed of rotation as a front tuck, but it helps with the concept of punching into a forward rotating skill and avoiding landing on the head when attempting the front tuck. Once a gymnast can safely attempt a front tuck I often don't have them go back to the dive roll.
