I have two questions related to the same situation. My DD (11yo, L6) has been at the same gym since she was 6yo. She started to work on twisting tumbling skills over a year ago. Mostly front and back layout halfs on the tumble track and more recently Arabians (also on tt). Her coach told her this week that she has been twisting the wrong direction. (She’s a righty and I guess she’s been twisting like a lefty.) She tried twisting the other direction and said she felt very disoriented and had some unsafe landings.
My questions are:
1. Am I justified in being upset that this was not caught earlier/taught correctly in the first place?
2. Does it really matter which way she twists? My DD said her coach said it matters coming out of a round off (like for a beam dismount), but aren’t most twisting skills coming out of a handspring?
Thank you!
