… a few Yurchenko drills to help straighten the round-off entry and lifting the upper body at the end of the round-off from Kellie Mizoguchi.
Click PLAY or watch it on Tom Beach’s GymSmarts Community blog.
I strongly agree with Kellie on the importance of hand placement on the round-off. If you neglect those drills, many young gymnasts will “overturn”, resulting in less consistency. And – perhaps – less power.
(Don’t be fooled by watching the best in the world overturn their round-offs. That’s a technique for the elite only. Most were taught to keep their hands in line with the direction of run when they started.)
