Most likely quite similar to what you do. The one unusual bit is teaching the preflight to straight handstand with head “buried”. Most coaches use a slight arch with the head up, and don’t go as high as handstand.
In recent years I’ve been eliminating the arm circle altogether. And finding β that way β that kids end up with a smaller arm circle in the end.
Keith Russell:
Educate, Educate, Educate, Legislate

At the Worlds 2017 Symposium in Montreal, Keith did two sessions on this topic. He’s the former head of the FIG Scientific Commission (recently merged with the FIG Sports Medicine Commission).
Keith noted that gymnasts were once considered the epitome of health and fitness. But that in recent years Artistic Gymnastic coaches are identified by the medical community as pariahs. Too extreme.
Why are gymnasts so young?
Why do they train so many hours?
Why are they so short? (When FIG age went up, height stayed the same.)
More positive coaching, as well.
Biggest surprise of 2026, so far.
