interview with Lisa Spini
Coach of Mykayla Skinner.
We are all, of course, very happy with how MyKayla’s season went. Being a member of the gold medal World Championship and Pan Am team is a dream come true for any gymnast.
Has Mykayla been working any new upgrades in the gym that you can share?
We have been working a Cheng with an extra full twist on vault–so round-off 1/2 on, 2 1/2 off. She is doing it on mats in the pit, but still a little lower than competition height. We’ve also been working triple twisting Yurchenkos in the pit.
On bars, she is training a new shaposh to pak combo, double double dismount and Weiler 1/2.
On beam she is training a punch front to jumps, tour jete 1/2, double turn and full in dismount.
On floor she is hoping to put a 1 1/2 step out to triple in for her second pass and full in at the end. We are also playing with a tucked triple twisting double on the rod floor.
What has been your biggest challenge with coaching Mykayla?
MyKayla loves the big skills. Getting her to focus on form and flexibility has always been the challenge. In this past season, I saw her change quite a bit in that area–she was much more willing to work in those areas. After being at Worlds, and seeing the best gymnasts from all over the world, she is even more focused on improving her execution. …
I’m guessing Marta is expecting Mykayla to be on the Worlds 2015 Team. She’s improving. And seems astonishingly durable for a girl competing so much difficulty.
