Women Straight legs?

[TGymnastics]

I have a gymnastics competition tomorrow and one of my tumbling lines is round off backhand springs.

Now I try and try but I can't keep my legs straight. They are getting straighter and more together but I would like them to be together and straight. Do you guys have any tip on how to keep them straight Please?

My coaches used to have me hold a bean bag between my feet and if I lost the bean bag, that means I opened my legs, so I became more conscious of it.

Is your backhandspring long enough for your legs to go over straight and together? If it's short it's much harder bc they don't have the distance, & spreading & bending your legs makes your body shorter.
