WAG Tips on Training the Full In

Does anyone have experience training or coaching the full in? My DD is training it now seriously with the hopes of getting it on floor by March for season and had been struggling.

Can’t her coach help her? Is she training herself?

Crowdsourcing for tips on getting a Kip are one thing, but I’m a little confused on asking parents for advice for an elite training kid working on a full in. If her coaches can’t help she should probably change gyms.

Of course she has a coach. We live over seas now. I have 3 gymnast daughters in the sport. 8,12, 14. My 12 year old made junior elite here and she has a coach but they also bring over Eastern European Olympic coaches for training camps throughout the year, who are more knowledgeable. The goal for next year is European championships which she has a good chance. The issue is that the day to day coach isnt as saavy with some of the skills that she trains with the Eastern European coaches that come over periodically for training camps. It's s a bit of a challenge. Therefore she often asks me if anyone on chalkbucket has a tip. So my question was very innocent. I really value the feedback on chalkbucket.

That makes a little more sense. The day to day coach should be finding/ consulting a mentor coach (national team coach) and using video and discussion to enhance their knowledge while helping your child with progress.
